Loving It!

I'm in Love, I'm in Love and I don't care who knows it! ~ Buddy the Elf

I know what Buddy was talking about. I'm in love with my new camera and I haven't even owned it for 24 hours! I read Chapter 1 and 2 of the Dummies book and hit the back yard to test out the auto functions on my camera and both of my lenses. I only have one test subject, so get ready for lots of Lola!

I really wish I had my 55-200 lens on for this one so it was closer up, but I was just testing

Oh I remember the first pics I took with my Nikon D60...I was in love too. I am currently having to use my 55-200 lens until I replace the other one my little one broke!

Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
