The Sweet Life...

Shutterbug

Posted in Hearth and Home

For Christmas my Dear Knight gave  me  my own  digital  camera.  I had been  using his Nikon D70 with a wide angle lense but  it  was really  too much camera for little ol' me.    So he surprised me with a  Nikon Coolpix S51--very cool!!  Now I can click away and  not worry about all the settings and such...I can  even make movies with  it!   I am so much more a snapshot taker than a serious  photographer as is my DK.

This image is one  I took  as I tested out my camera.   It is my favorite tea cup and  my favorite scented winter-time candle  (peppermint/vanilla)  along  with  a figurine my dear momma gave  me for my   40th  birthday. All sitting on the slim  windowsill  of my kitchen  window.  Not too bad for a novice photographer  :-)

Yes, why worry about aperture settings, depth of field or ISO settings when all you need to do is press the little doohickey and have a wonderful picture!

I love taking a picture without worrying over "wasted film"; being able to check your pic and ooooh delete and retake if needed.

The romantic side of me still favors my SLR, though!

About Me

Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...

Words to Ponder

The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau

The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard

About our homeschool

First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus. And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling. We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible! We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation, Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years. We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
