Who are you looking at?

So, this photo kind of amazed me when we got home from our weekend away. I was using my 55-250mm lens so I was not close to the gorilla at all. There were a lot of other people around too, including noisy children. So, when I started looking through the photos I couldn't believe it that this guy was looking directly at my camera. Hope you like him!

Tourist Time

So, as we know the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Once we arrived in San Francisco, I noticed that carrying around my nice camera would prove to be a bit cumbersome. That's when I pulled out my phone. If you have an iPhone, you'll probably recognize the filters from the free app Instagram (if you have an iPhone and don't have this app, check it out). These are the two most touristy shots that I'll be posting. Tomorrow you can start looking forward to some awesome animal pictures (I got to go to the zoo!!!!!).

I want this---oh wait a minute!

So, I'm sure you noticed that I was gone for a few days. I was up in San Francisco for my birthday and had enough to do to get ready without worrying about the blog. Hope you don't mind too much. So, today's "I want" is a Canon EFS 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens. And guess what? My amazingly wonderful boyfriend got it for me!!!! He's been hearing me complain about how I really want a macro lens and that I'll make the investment next year with my tax refund. Now I don't have to! I have the best boyfriend ever!

I know that I promised you fall pictures for the next month, but it looks like you'll be getting a lot of San Francisco trip pictures instead...so get prepared!

Squash it!

Hooray!!!!!!

Today is day one of seven lovely lovely days off. I have been waiting for months for this vacation and it really couldn't have come at a better time. Sorry about the lack of post yesterday. Work was crazy and then there was drinking celebrations for a friend's birthday. And believe me, you wouldn't want to read a post after sake bombs. Hope everyone else is having a splendid day as well!

almost here!

Just today and tomorrow at work and then I have a whole week off!!!!! I can't wait!

I want this Sunday

It's just sooooooo pretty!
