Well I didn't go anywhere today to get any great photos so here are a few I experimented with. I recieved a remote switch in the mail today so I experimented with it and a tripod. I like the results. The picture of the Humming Bird feeder is solorized using Photo Shop Elements 7. I like it too. The picture of the house is across the lake from me. I used a 300mm lens.

Yesterday I decided to take a giant step and be independent for the first time in 72 years. I have never lived alone until recently. Consequently I'm timid about going out on my own. Well yesterday I spent the day at the Fort Worth Zoo by my self. It may not seem like a giant step to you but it was to me. I purchased a new camera and spent the day taking pictures of all the furry and feather friends at the zoo and even some of the friends with scales. I took 271 pictures so you know what I've been doing since last night. I probably kept half of them. I won't post all 135, but I'll post a few that I really like. Hope you enjoy them.

I haven't posted anything in while, so here I go again. I purchased a new camera and I'm having to learn a lot of new settings. I think I'm going to like it once I get the hang of it. Since I haven't been able to travel much in the past year most of my photographs are of things I see in my back yard. We haven't had much of a winter this year, so spring is beginning early. The morning doves and the little birds have returned already. I'm thinking of making a trip to the zoo next week if the weather is just a little warmer. I'm also looking forward to going to the Botnaic Gardens in the next few weeks. I know you can't wait to see those pictures. Anyway here are the latest photographs from justjean.

The first picture is of some old bird that Lee carved some years ago.
