I bought it!!

If you have been reading along, you will know that I have been back and fourth about "pulling the trigger" about buying my very first DSLR so I can pursue my dream of photography.  That is exactly what I did last night, I bought my Canon Rebel T5i and I am in love!  This purchase also marks another completed item on my 30before30 list.  

Canon Rebel T5i 18-135mm STM lens

I have spent all day playing around with it, I have ALWAYS been an auto focus gal, until I switched that dial to manual focus...Oh my goodness, I will never go back.  I have so much to learn, but I am having a great time so far. The weather was not very nice today, so I was limited to shooting from my front porch.  Here are a few unedited, straight out of the camera images I took today. 

Thankvember blog hop

What is your favorite season or time of the month?  I know you are hearing this a lot these past few weeks, but mine definitely has to be fall/autumn.  I love the way the leaves change colors, I love the crunch of the leaves under my feet when the they fall from the trees, I love the colors and mums and I LOVE the pumpkin patch.  October flew by us so quickly and here we are in our 2nd day of November, it will be Thanksgiving before we know it!   I have decided that I will take part in the Thankvember linkup and blog hop. It's a month-long link-up for posts that we've made about the things we're thankful for.  This November I am thankful for.... 1st-1,000 days of being with my husband (yes I have a day counter on my phone).  2nd-Red cups and the gingerbread latte at Starbucks

 

Check it off the list

One of my things to do for my 30before30 list is to mail out a letter or card to two random friends a month.  I did this for October on the 31st, nothing like waiting till the last minute to get something done.  

At the post office getting ready to go out.
