I'm a convert!!

Why has it taken me so long to pull my finger out and try a few of the different settings on my camera.......pure laziness. After seeing what a wonderful weekend Pip and Marianne had at their photography course and the instant improvement in the quality of their photos I thought I'd give it a go.... earlier this morning after the kids had been trucked off to school this is what I came up with......

This next one is of a Paper Wasp Nest.......there weren't any wasps around so I thought it would be OK.

This next one is of an agapanthus in my pitiful garden.....the third picture was done on Manual and went really dark....don't know why, I guess I'll figure it out as I practice more.

So there you have it.....I hope it didn't bore you too much.

I'm about to embark on a "Get rid of the CRAP" expedition in Megan's room, I've been wanting to do this for a while now but the thought of sifting through all that stuff was too much to bear and it was just easier to shut the door. I hate clutter it drives me mad and Megan's room is full of it, I don't know why but she hoards everything from seeds she found under a tree at school to a chook feather she thought was interesting......Oh and every single little piece of paper she ever scribbled on ( I will keep the good ones I'm not that mean ).

So I bid you all farewell my friends and hope to see you on the other side..........clutter free I hope!!
