Abingdon Seafood Festival 2012

Abingdon Seafood Festival 2012
Bena, VA










I attended this festival before Hunt Club's Halloween fest, but I'm just now getting around to editing photos!  This was the maiden voyage for my new DSLR.  RIP my faithful Rebel XTi, you will be missed.  I'm toting a little Nikon D3100 around, now.  It's been challenging having to get used to moving parts in the opposite direction, but I'm loving the speed and quality!  The shutter is very quiet, too.  Although, I almost miss the Rebel's audible whir-and-snap...

Camping Is For The Dogs

Camping in Madison, VA.  Beagles love camping!










Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler

New Orleans - January 2012

This is the first trip I've taken in the last few years without my SLR :( The Rebel quit on me at Oktoberfest in National Harbor last year, so I've been carrying the SX10 while I save up for a new Canon body. While I missed the fine control of the SLR, I do love the optical zoom on this camera!

Anyway. Family vacation to New Orleans in January 2012! Only my family would plan their vacation for the middle of winter. It worked out well, since the city was gearing up for Mardi Gras and it wasn't the least bit crowded. We mostly subsisted on coffee.

Easter is Very Colorful

One day, I'll reach a state of punctuality regarding season-specific uploads.
