The return of the DSLR - Part 1 Blair Drummond Safari Park

It has been about three years since I last switched on my Nikon. So for my week off work I have decided to take it out and see what the old dog has left in her.

Taking it out of the cupboard I initially thought the battery was kaput. I left it on charge the whole night and it still didn't switch on. I fiddled with the power cord and finally managed to get it to charge correctly.

So today we decided to take the kids to Blair Drummond Safari Park, I usually have a thing against zoos but this one is better. The animals have much bigger enclosures and generally look a lot happier than in your standard zoo.

The day literally started off shit! I went to open the passenger door and a bird sprayed the inside of the car with last nights supper.

The rest of the day turned out to be a lovely outing with my family. The kids enjoyed themselves. My wife was able to unwind, no longer the sole protector of two strong minded children. And I was able to take some reasonable pictures of our outing despite being extremely rusty and slow.

I would love to know what you guys think!

A good place to put your wife if you are in need of some quiet time. Joking of course.
