365- #147-148 (Shadows)

365- #143-146 Old State Capitol

365- #141-142 (Straw)

Yes, I took this:

I'm not boasting....I'm SHOCKED!

this was taken with a smaller lens (help me out, Tracy, I don't remember what it's called).

It was harder to deal with....but I guess with time, I could get used to it.  Especially if it lets me take pics like these :)

365- #139-140 (dragonfly)

This weekend I went on a "Meet & Shoot" with some Mommytographers who are also doing the 365 project.  I was so glad to meet some of the women IRL I've only known through blogs.  And, I got to play with some new lenses....and I'll just say that I'm ruined for the ordinary now :)

Here's a shot of a dragonfly with my lens:

And here's the one I took with the Mac-Daddy lens...you know the one that I want now :)

(thanks, Jenn, for trusting me with it :)

And, thanks Tracy, for organizing it!!  I had a blast!  Can't wait to do it again!

365-138 (evidence of hardwork)

365- #136-137 (Mmmm...Crawfish!)

First crawfish boil that I've been to this year! I know...it's the END of the season. But better late than never, I guess :)
Sure was worth waiting for! They were huge!!

unsuspecting victim  mudbug...

cooked to perfection....

Let me just say that if you haven't used Cane's sauce for dipping, yet, you don't know what you're missing!

Incredible discovery!!

365 - #125-135 (Hummingbirds)

In an effort to catch up with the 365 project, and since I couldn't pick my favorite, I bring you a slide show with lots of pics of the hummingbirds that played at my Dad's house this weekend. 
If you click on "view all images" you can see each pic individually.
(I used a Nikon D60, set on 400 ISO.  I realized after I'd put my camera away, that I should've used a higher ISO.  oh well, next time.)  Enjoy!
