Sailwinds shoot

Here's little sneek peak from my latest shoot at Sailwinds Park in Cambridge. Turned out pretty well for such a windy & chilly day.

Hope everyone has a great holiday!!

Birds on wire

I have been trying to get a shot of the little birds on the telephone wire for a month now. I finally got a few.

There is an old store near Maddie's daycare and it's like the bird meeting place in the a.m. I have learned to make sure I have a camera with me. I wonder what those little birds do up there gossip, talk about stuff they saw or bugs they ate ??
shh don't hate on my smudge marks on my lens. Just now realized it :)

Blackwater Shoot

I got to take part in the Camera Club's Blackwater shoot on Saturday. I was so excited to network with other members of the group. They shared advice and camera recommendations. The weather was chilly 40 degrees. I was bundled up like a snowman everyone else had on sweatshirts. We kind of split into two groups. I went along with Fran our Vice Pres. Her husband is an avid bird watcher and pointed birds out and their names. Pretty interesting. My favorite part of the shoot was a cool tree (above). I could have shot the tree all day. I also liked the fish net poles in the water. And the Bald Eagles. However mine lens was nothing compared to others whom had lenses as big around as my head. They got awesome shots. I couldn't get close enough. Oh well. Maybe one day. I did get to peek into their view finders and check out other people shots. After my trip to Blackwater I met a co-worker at Sailwinds and had a session w/her and her daughter.

It was way to windy but we made do. Sailwinds is an awesome location. Has a nice little beach and rocks. Stay tuned for those pictures... I'm tired off to bed.

1st Hair cut

Maddie got her first hair cut this past week. We took her to Jcpenney where our friend Lisa works. We had been debating about getting it cut. But it was getting in her eyes and I couldn't stand it. Maddie was so good! Much better than I expected. She sat still and loved looking at herself in the mirror. Her haircut makes her look like such a big girl.

So grown up.

Even thou she's pouting, she's still cute!! Someone was mad cause she couldn't carry her lil chair down the hallway just the right way. Hope everyone is getting ready for the holiday. I can't believe November is almost over.. whew Time Flies. There's been so much going on lately I hope to catch up this week ?

Ooh and I pretty much finished my Christmas shopping Yay!!

Driving Daddy's tractor

Maddie got to sit in Daddy's tractor. She was so tickled and touched every button inside. She squeaked when Tom turned the tractor on. After we pryed her out of the tractor we played in the yard throwing leaves up in the air. She loved picking up the leaves and bringing them to me. It was all fun until a bird pooped on her neck. A purple berry poo !! Oh boy
