Woot! A new camera!

Pics of flowers, just because I can!
The day my camera broke was a sad day for me. I have been mourning it for almost 9 months.
Don't ask me why I waited so long to get a new one. Sometimes one must mourn at their own pace.
Sure, perhaps it was the laziness and not so much the mourning that is to blame.
Since that fateful day I've been using my wee "purse cam".. You know, that little one you buy to carry with you wherever you go?
I kept telling myself that that should be enough.
It's small and handy and silver--it matches my jewelry, you know?
But I lost a bit of steam people. I really did.
It was like owning an Ipod, losing it and reverting back to a walkman.
I know, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm sure you understand.
But finally, oh happiness and joy, I am the proud owner of a brand spanking new digital SLR. (The Canon 400d if you are interested!)
And of course I've been taking pics of everything within arms reach of me. My socks, the doorknob, random hair elastics in the bedroom.
I'm feeling a bit out of practice, but it feels good to rediscover a beloved hobby again...
Did I already say Woot? Because I really mean it.

That's very pretty, although the image looks a little greasy to me.
David, that's because when I took the picture I was holding mama's fried chicken in one hand and a big bag of potato chips in other. What is that wrong? The manual didn't say I couldn't. (I know what you're thinking: that would take 3 hands. But I am talented. And greasy.)
Greasy and talented?
Well, that's kind of a turn-on. And being able to take pictures at the same time?
Well...that's just icing on the cake.
Woot woot I am so thrilled for you!!!
greasy and all!!!!!1
Congratulations! Coincidentally, I got a new Canon digital camera today as well. Not as fancy as yours, but a huge advancement from my Casio Exilim I used for the first two years of blogging:)
Great shot of the bleeding hearts - just gorgeous!
very nice camera, can't wait to see all your photos!
David, what can I say, I am a good catch. Why do you think G wants to marry me?
Alisa, hello! Hope you are having fun in LA. I am tickled that you are checking in at O.Tea while you are there. ;)
Pille, thanks Pille, and congrats on your new camera too!
Anne, thank you, I'm glad you like the pics!
K&S, so far I am loving the camera.. I think I am going to be taking too many photos for the first little while ;)
nice pics...
The fuchsia in the right pic blooms also on my terrace together with many citrus trees!
and.. do you know what?? In Spain fuchsia is called "pendentes de la reina" (queen's earrings):
wonderful name, isn't it? ;-)
Tommy, thanks, I'm glad you like the pics. And yes that is a great name for them, especially when said in spanish!
