I can’t say enough times how grateful I am to have a new (awesome!) camera from my dad. A perfect Christmas present. I’ve taken pictures nearly every day since I received the camera. It makes life so much more fun. I am learning to embrace being the observer, sometimes intrusive with my camera. I have even started looking at the world in a frame. That would make an excellent photo, I think while passing a seemingly innocuous shadow or landscape. Its been a wonderful addition to my life, giving me another outlet for creativity.

Here are some of the shots I am grateful to have taken in the last few days.
