Practising with the camera

We went to visit my Aunt today, at the same time as Mum and Dad were there, so we had a family outing to the local National Trust house, The Vyne. I've been inspired by this site to try to take more photos, so I spent my time behind the camera. Annoyingly, most of my photos came out slightly blurred (I need to get the hang of allowing the camera to auto-focus before I press the button), but here are a few which worked:





I also tried to get family shots, but my family don't pose! I did get this one, though which I'm quite proud of:


Caught in the act of fish-spotting!

Spring is coming...

... and we have the flowers to prove it. It's been a lovely sunny day here, though still rather cold. Tim, a man who is always warm, is refusing to let me use him as my hot water bottle. I think this is very selfish of him - after all, he gets a hug out of it, even if he's shrieking from the feel of my icy hands so can't enjoy it!

In other news, we spent a week in Whistler skiiing - very good fun. So much fun in fact that we didn't take any pictures as we were too busy. To give you a tester, this is a photo from the week we were there, on one of the runs we did fairly regularly. Lots and lots of lovely powdery snow - yum.
