I shot some inanimate objects...

The marbles and I had a fun time.

They loved it when I made them "disappear" by altering the shutter speed.

And then those trees just really wanted me to take their pictures....*sigh* 

This violet was actually begging me to snap a photo

(Okay, inner squeal here. I was actually begging the tree to let me take a picture of him. I LOVE how this shot turned out!)

This little tuft of grass was so smiley on a bitter cold day that I just had to take a picture of its joy at being alive.

Psssh. Those trees. :)

And now for some CHRISTMAS shots. Actually, the only thing they have to do with Christmas is that they are pictures of the Christmas bulbs and tree lights.

Manual Focus

I really like this in manual focus....it might look better in b&w though.

The End.
On Friday our family is having our first Christmas celebration (of three!) so I should hopefully have some pictures from that. Also, Kitty took some cute pictures of Lyddie and I, so I would like to post those as well. But that won't be until Friday, so stay tuned! :)

p.s. Thank you so much for the comments everyone! Especially about my asking about giveaways. :)
