incy wincy

I always find spiders so ingenious. Such little creatures with amazingly strong silky threads. This afternoon  I watched one tiny fellow build a web between our snow-pea stakes, and practiced taking photos with my new camera! My new pal is a Canon EOS 60D. I am smitten. He is gorgeous. I am learning how to use two lenses (18-55 and 55-250mm). Here are some of my first snaps with him.... not quite understanding all the dials yet.. but we're on our way.

  1. I spy bokeh! :) Glad you're enjoying your new camera and looking at the world in new ways. I've been keeping up with my 365 project (a photo a day) but I'm finding myself scrambling to take a shot at 11pm a bit more often than I'd like!

  3. Love spiders and their webs...on the condition that they aren't in my bedroom. Spiderwebs are one of Mother Nature's works of art aren't they? Gorgeous snaps!
