Fun with Pets!

We have gotten much better at being able to use our fancy shamncy Nikon that I just had to have.  I blame it on my genes really....I just wanted to fit in with Papa, Corey and Mickey.  Since I have figured out how to use it...I think the only problem is the size...it is a big ass camera to carry around...and in fact I think what I need to get is a smaller lense for it.  The pictures I really like to take are close and fill most of the frame...not really what the two lenses we have are meant for.  None-the-less...I am getting much better at using it and getting the pictures I want.  And, it has super awesome capabilities we am learning about.  Stay tuned for some of my more ambitious projects soon!  And of course...the pets are my favorite subject!  On a side note...I have been day-dreaming (also part of my genes) about entering my pet pictures into pet photo competitions and winning bunches of prizes...like back in the 40's and 50's when women would enter advertising jingle contests to make a living while their alcoholic husbands spent all the money meant for food and shelter on booze and loose women.  Only...I would enter to make a living because I lost my job when science funding was cut and my husband never found work after completing a desgree because no one is designing anything anymore.  Science and innovation...just say no!  Sadly, part-time jobs at Target doesn't pay the mortgage.  Anyhow...here are some of the pictures I have been taking!
