Hello again my Silver Bloggers Friends! I've had to step away from Hive for the most part lately, mostly due to personal tragedy. But I am BAAAACK, and this time with a real camera that some kind person lent me, not with a stupid-phone-otherwise-known-as-a-smart-phone, which I no longer care to carry with me everywhere, and which had started to take lousy shots anyway.
Here are my very first shots, taken via some sort of auto setting. I even somehow managed to get the shots onto my computer and here into this post - don't ask me how! I haven't touched them up in any way. Getting this far was a gargantuan task in itself.
I have a new retirement hobby!
Please peruse my first photos and give me a pat on the back.
The week before that, I decided I NEEDED these shoes
Hazel, whose devotion to me has been a blessing
I often love what I see at my feet, so prepare to see a lot of shots like this
I learned a lot about wind, and what not to shoot on a windy day. Heavy things rock!
Blue spruce stays fairly still in even a brisk wind, perfect for photographing
These are the photos I kept from my first time out.
Thanks for scrolling through them. Much Love to you all.
