New Camera!

I am so excited...my new camera came! I have been anxiously awaiting its arrival and yesterday when I got home a big box was waiting for me and ta da - inside of that box was my new Canon Rebel SLR digital camera! I decided that as I get older my camera should mature with me. So enough point and shoot (although I will be hanging on to it as a quick snapshot camera) and welcome SLR. I am actually amazed I was able to talk Paul into this but I guess it is a justified purchase since I take pictures constantly and am quite into both blogging and scrapbooking. Heavens knows I will get my use out of this camera.

I am slowly reading through the instruction manual and hope to learn some new tricks soon. But in the meantime I've just been goofing around with it and LOVE it! I can totally see how much clearer all the pictures are. As I was looking at pictures that I had uploaded last night onto the computer I could even really see the red in Amelia's hair! It is amazing! Hopefully even greater pictures will be coming soon, for now here is what I've been shooting as my new 'friend' and I get to know each other....
