Bountiful Lake

I got my fancy new camera 10 months ago now, and I'm sad to say the manual functions have not been used very often.  I know!  I'm one of those people who got a nice camera and then doesn't even know how to use it.  I'm determined though, so I now force myself to get out of auto and actually try.  This generally just results in photos that look far worse than those taken in auto, but it's a necessary transition if I'm ever going to figure it out.  I went over to Bountiful Lake this weekend and I am happy with how my shots turned out!  We can mainly attribute the decent pictures to nice clouds, but still.  Progress.

Alpine Loop

It's a little early in the year, but we did our traditional alpine loop drive this weekend.  Nature is just awesome right now in case you were too busy watching football to notice.  I was looking back on the last time I blogged our fall drive, and wow, who are those kids?  Thank goodness I upgraded my camera and downgraded my BMI since then.  :)

Autumn and I were not ready to come to terms with each other (mainly because I have separation anxiety with my barbecue and...DAYLIGHT), but after this weekend I'm feeling ok.  Bring on the hikes.
