Welcome to the ‘New Kid’

We’ve had a new addition to our family of cameras here, my new Canon Rebel 40D. It just came in the mail this week, and I am looking forward to putting in some significant effort into learning how to use it. I am really excited. It just dwarfs the other cameras we own.

This won’t be the end of the other cameras, no sir. I’ll still have my handheld Canon Powershot with me almost all the time. But man, the 3″ LCD on the SLR is almost as big as the whole pocket sized powershot. Jeesh, this is gonna be fun!

Took this photo of a titmouse outside the house today. Two of them were hopping over to the feeder and back to the tree grabbing one seed at a time. No it wasn’t taken with the new camera, it was taken with my trusty Canon G6. Its a canon family…

Hey, its not the best photo in the world, but its a nice bird, that’s for sure.

What have I been Up To?

Well, no updates for 2 months. What have I been up to? Well I will tell you. I have been working to create two websites to store the content from the Adena Springs Racing Venture 2 and 3 that we belong to. I decided to create two separate dedicated sites for the information. That way I can keep this site more dedicated to our own goings on and happenings, and the new sites exclusive to horse racing. The new sites are up and running and available via links in the menu bar at right, as well as using the banners below.

What else have we been up to? Well Tracy and I decided to do our part for the economy by buying a new car. My first car, that I owned for almost 12 years, finally wasn’t worth the expense to keep it running. A 1995 2 Door Camry with 183,600 miles on it. It was my first car and I will always love it. But we have now moved on, and purchased a new camry. Picture to come soon.
