A new perspective

A picture is worth a thousand words.. or so I hear!  I am just getting into photography.  I have always loved it, but never had (or rather MADE) the time to learn it..  okay, and I always had a piece of junk camera too which doesn't help much!  Brandon went back to the States for business last week and brought home a bunch of goodies including my new Nikon D7000 which is technically for Christmas, but I married a softy! :)  So, don't judge, but these are the first shots right out of the box!  The thing was on automatic which is an insult I know, but I'll learn! :)

This is a shot of our view.  Not too shabby given it was taken out of my dirty window!

A stalker shot. I zoomed in on the main pool area.. VERY enlightening how easy it was to get so close!  I guess even when you're alone, you're not!  eeek!

We have a black swan in one of the ponds on our ground who has been sitting on a nest full of eggs for a couple of weeks now.  I can't wait to see little "ugly ducklings"! :)

A view of some of the buildings in our complex.  We are in the middle building you see with the tree blocking the right corner of it.

 Hunter with his sweet impish grin! :)

 Landon, Peyton and I took a nature walk.. they were watching the swans here.

 Crazy Peyton.  SOO much personality for such a little thing! lol

We went to the main pool (pictured up top) with a friend of mine's son.. Peyton and Landon were more content to eat than swim!

Until that is, Landon got distracted by this poor unsuspecting creature!

Peyton wasn't distracted in the slightest!  She just took the opportunity to inhale as much as humanly possible while her brother was away!

Don't bother me, I'm eating!

 I got some fun action shots of the kids and their endless amounts of energy jumping in the pool. :)

I don't know why ,but I LOVE this!  It looks fake to me with every splash of water being so crazy defined!

This isn't a great shot, just sentimental and fun.  This is for Gma De Groot.. another little floater :)  She layed in the water for about 5 minutes like this!

 Awww the many faces of Bailey.  I sure do love these crazy kids! :)

More pictures to come as I figure out how to use this amazing beast!
