A Visit To Brackenridge Park

Today is my Birthday (thank you for the well wishes, I appreciate your kindness, really) and I wanted to take my nifty new Nikon to the park and take photos - I was not disappointed. I took 357 photos in less than 90 minutes. I've attached a few here for you to enjoy.

You can open these up to see the larger file and really get an eye full.

Happy Birthday Mamaflo! I must say that the shots you took with the new camera are wonderful! I love photography! I learned back in the day when you measured light with a meter and develped photos in a lab! (I am showing my age here!) Digital is the best! I will post some pics of my trip soon! Right now I only have like two hours and then my laptop battery will die! I need to go get another one today! I am leaving for another business trip on Monday.
Peace,
Diva

They say it's your birthday, well happy birthday to you, MamaFlo...

Nice shots! I still haven't figured out to use a fraction of the features on my Canon digital SLRs (the old ones OR the new one), but I love the "green button" for point and shoot and the magic happens. Looks like the magic is happening for you, too...enjoy your new toy.

Great birthday post! Hope that you had a great time with your husband at Brackenridge Park. You amazed me once again with those great shots. I like the first one especially; especially how you captured the flower and the bee. Hope that you have a wonderful birthday!
