Surprise!
Thank you all so very much for your sweet and thoughtful birthday wishes! As I said, I have not ever really feared my 30's so those feelings were very new to me. After all of your kind encouragement however, I think those feelings are long gone. Now, I can not wait to be a part of the club! It has an awfully impressive list of members *smile*
So, wanna hear about my birthday presents? Oh goodie!
Let me start with the most incredible and perfect surprise ever! I awoke Tuesday morning to find an e-mail from Flickr in my inbox. It ever so sweetly stated that this beautiful girl gave me a Flickr Pro Account to lavish in for the whole year! I wept with delight! It was so absolutely incredibly thoughtful! Miss Kuky is amazing, sweet, kind, generous and possibly psychic. She was not even aware of the following things:
1. I have bugged my husband for a Flickr Pro Account for weeks now.
2. Monday night I decided to use some birthday clout to properly beg for a Pro Account, but fell asleep before I could take advantage of the opportunity thus nullifying said "Birthday Clout."
3. I am an absolute camera junkie and was seriously considering a Polaroid Spectra from Lomographic Society International as a possible use for my "Birthday Bucks".
4. My sweet bird-loving husband who is also a camera junkie, was considering a new Sony H5 or Nikon 8800 to improve his high flying photography.
5. Even though we got the new Sony DSC N-1 for Christmas, Mister and I would combine our "Birthday Bucks" to buy a shared Nikon D50.
6. Lastly, that we would return said Birthday Nikon D50 and buy a Nikon D70 for our birthday and part Christmas present!
So can you believe it? A happy, happy Pro Flickr Account and a new Nikon D70 outfit? Yay! Joy of Joys! Thank you a million times Miss Korallin! I am absolutely thrilled and delighted!
The photos above were taken with the D50. The D70 is taking me a little bit longer to get used to. I am halfway through a book on Digital Photography and I look forward to learning as much as I can. If you have any Photography or the D70 tips I would absolutely love to hear them!
I am working to catch up now (although cuddly kittens [who turned 1 year old yesterday] are trying to lull me into a nap) and I look forward to spending some quality time with you all! xox=vv.
