In search of.....

So now that my child is at the age where she can go off down the street and spend the afternoon with her friends, I have a great deal of time on my hands, especially in the summer. So I have decided to try and find a hobby or something that I have passion for aside from work and my family. Something that says, "That's Me". So my first attempt actually started a few years ago was quilting. I took a class and made a quilt which I thought was ok.... take a look:Then I tried one on my own..... and while I felt a great sense of accomplishment, I wasn't super excited to try another one right away.

Well, my next thought was glass mosaic. As I do with most things I jump on the internet and 1. looked for a class nearby, and 2. start buying all the things I need. So I was just about to push the "Purchase" button when I changed my mind. I thought, "You know, look around you and what is it that you like to do, but could learn more about and it wouldn't cost a whole lot? The first thing that popped in my head was photography, Digital Photography. So I went back online and found a place to learn more, Digital Photography School , and began to read and then experiment. Here are some of my attempts.... feel free to post tips. Please note that I do not have a fancy digital camera (YET) just a Canon PowerShot.

So, the last two I took before I wanted to delve further.. thought they were great shots!
