Camera Fun

While in California, I finally found some time to study my camera's manual and photography tutorials I have had on my to do list for months. I still have a ton to learn but I started practicing using my camera in manual mode. I finally started a basic knowledge of F-stops and shutter speeds. Here are my first pictures taken manual
(out of the automatic modes!)My mom's first rose of the season.

I love walking around the creeks near my parents home, especially in the winter and spring time when everything is so green.

I have always wanted a purple tree. I was so excited when I came back to Virgina and everything was in bloom, and was even more pleased to discover my front tree is purple!!
