Is it possible to be "in love" with a camera? If so, the lovebug--or should I say SHUTTERBUG--has bitten!!! <br /><br />Heather, Katie and Lauren are in "Oliver". They invited me to a sneak peek on Thursday night and I decided to test out my newest photographic addition. <br /><br />I could easily take credit for some amazing shots, but the credit lies with the camera (and the oh-so-fabulous lens).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">"Oliver" (& Company as background bokeh)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDYicmN-9nJx0FtHj7slg5RCxO9wb8Iqvvlx9QPFovCVFe7UQcm1EPWqG9B20FlvFsMA4Ykm5Jm031u0aVprtsNQ1T7vSA1NPvLN1hGBhJrT0JjdWeqher_-RFXt4c38F8psJP-FSwd5E/s1600-h/DSC_1477bw.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDYicmN-9nJx0FtHj7slg5RCxO9wb8Iqvvlx9QPFovCVFe7UQcm1EPWqG9B20FlvFsMA4Ykm5Jm031u0aVprtsNQ1T7vSA1NPvLN1hGBhJrT0JjdWeqher_-RFXt4c38F8psJP-FSwd5E/s320/DSC_1477bw.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310650381956391138" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />I've never "shot" a show before--but what fun!!!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471387671587080102.post-76476217451918819242008-12-04T18:52:00.000-08:002008-12-04T19:17:48.696-08:00Thankful Thursday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbxPYeUD9P3b5CbjFLh4vg0-uLDz40cT2Wzh0oy4Nf19XX35c6RjPi_puvV3g0WR-rqFrrSBeNShsRgvZzmJwI1fWWjWt47ymHhteTl8Oxm7tffiy9qpIPhyIVG__Q61RYrMamXZzw42U/s1600-h/DSC_0300.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbxPYeUD9P3b5CbjFLh4vg0-uLDz40cT2Wzh0oy4Nf19XX35c6RjPi_puvV3g0WR-rqFrrSBeNShsRgvZzmJwI1fWWjWt47ymHhteTl8Oxm7tffiy9qpIPhyIVG__Q61RYrMamXZzw42U/s320/DSC_0300.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276135800220739666" border="0" /></a><br />One of my very best friends is diligent about blogging on "Thankful Thursday". Considering that today IS Thursday, I thought I'd follow her wonderful tradition. Here goes! I'm thankful for the love that surrounds me...especially the love from my devoted husband, spirited children, caring family and life-long friends. I'm thankful for the time to listen (like now, when--due to surgery on my larynx--I'm forced into a week-long silence). I'm thankful for laughter. I'm thankful for photography and the memories attached to the pictures. I'm thankful for ice-cream (because it's the only thing I can swallow). I'm thankful for the little things--because you're right, Kim--the little things really ARE the big things...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471387671587080102.post-72221023774437642162008-12-02T17:31:00.000-08:002008-12-04T19:10:05.035-08:00Thank you, Jen!<span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Thank you, Jen!
