Cats, flowers, and the moon – oh my!
Mini Daffodils all confused and blooming in October Does anyone know which planet is right there next to the moon in the sky? It was also super bright Wednesday night. So those are my samples as I keep trying to learn how to use the new Canon EOS Rebel. So many auto settings that I [...]
Let the sun shine!
Saturday version of Friday beauty. Some pictures from this week in the back yard.
