pink geranium

It was time to try the Nikon out with some close up shots and since I'm laying low with a cold, I stuck with what looked interesting in the yard.

Here's one of the squirrel drinking from the bird bath.

suspension

This was taken from the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge -- a fantastic place from which to test the stabilization aspects of a lens. Bouncy, bouncy.

Brandywine Falls British Colombia

I wish my new graduated neutral density filter had arrived before we left for our trip to Vancouver/Seattle so I could see if it really does help to improve the look of waterfall shots. Oh well. This was a gorgeous place and it was a joy to see this waterfall. One thing I'm liking about the Nikon D5100 is how hiker friendly it is. Nice and light.
