Bonding Time with my Digital Camera

So, I got a digital camera from my parents for Christmas. I've been wanting one for a while, but I've been making do with my cell phone camera. Not exactly the best quality pictures, let me tell you. Besides, when I accidentally broke my phone in half(Good thing it had a warranty.), I had to get a new phone. Same type, only this one wasn't broken in half, and it had a factory defect. Gotta love those, right? So, the camera likes to be silly. You know what it really really likes to do? It likes to take alien pictures. Or monster pictures, really, it isn't all that picky. What I mean is that the pictures show up green and fuzzy. Don't believe me?

How about now?

Yeah. It's pretty bad. So you can guess how excited I was about my new camera. I was ecstatic. So I've been playing around with photography lately. I learned today that I love the fog, but it's so hard to take pictures in! When you get a cool picture, it's so exciting! However, I didn't really like any of my foggy pictures enough to show you. Sorry! However, I thought you might enjoy a non-foggy picture that I took today. So, here it is, in all of it's amateur glory. Or lack of glory. I'm not really sure which it is.

You see that there? That's a squirrel.

So yeah, after taking several pictures of this squirrel, I felt like I had really accomplished something in my photo-session. It made me pretty happy, to be quite honest. I think I'm just easily amused. 

Anyways, on other topics, I would love to post some sappy Valentine's Day blog post about how wonderful my boyfriend is. However, that's way too cliche. So, rather than an entire blog post, here is my Valentine's Day in a nutshell:

For Valentine's day, he gave me a bag of Lindor Truffles, a Teddy bear that was holding a "Happy Valentine's Day" heart, and a Goo Goo Dolls CD. Best. Valentine's. Presents. Ever. Not only do I collect Teddy bears, but he's gotten me addicted to the Goo Goo Doll's music, and we're going to a concert of theirs in April. Somehow, Valentine's day seems a lot less pointless now.

Not hating on Val--SQUIRREL!

P.S. I really want to watch the movie UP now. Thanks, Mr. Squirrel.

  1. Hey Shansie--I like the look of your blog. Nice squirrel, by the way. I've been taking pics of squirrels, too, but I think I need a better camera. As far as fog, which is great stuff, I think picture quality might have something to do with light being refracted by water crystals. I'm not positive, though. I'll hopefully have pictures on my own blog in the near future. Keep up the camera work!

  2. Thanks Crosby! I think you're right about the fog. I wish I could get a good picture of it though. My camera simply doesn't do it justice.
