Nature 'Hike'

Well, I've finally done something on my 101 in 1001 list... it's been a couple of months... sadly. But I'm still on track, with 46 items left and more than 460 days to do them! Not bad for having forgotten all about it in the last two months. Anyway, this one marks off #5... go for a nature walk.

Oh, and notice the photos? I got a new camera on Saturday... finally! It's the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS. I'm thrilled with it! It has a 10x zoom (a step up from my 3x zoom of earlier) and is 10mega pixels (up from 4). It also only uses 2 AA's instead of 4, has a screen 3x the size of our old one, and a flip flash (so I don't have to always click a button to turn it off). It takes pics way faster too. So, I've also decided to do something else with my pics before I upload them onto blogger... mainly make them about 1/6th of their original size, and add a watermark. What do you think?

When we arrived at the park we found my aunt and cousin there. She took these two pics for me! Yippee for family shots!











There you have it. Pics from our little walk... and I do mean little. We were at the park for a total of 1hour and 20minutes... and I'd say about 45 minutes of that was our walk (when you meet others you know, you have to chat a little bit, right? Not to mention that Baby M made a surprise in her diaper for us after our walk, and then we noticed more people we knew after cleaning that up).
Oh, and walking on sandy paths in a bush with hills, waterlogged areas that require walking over using logs, and other such things? Not as easy when pregnant. Granted, a lot easier at 15 weeks than 35, but still not as easy. I can't believe how quick I run out of breath!

Those pictures turned out great! I love your new camera. The pictures are so clean and clear. How in the world do you do the stamp at the bottom with your name (is that what is called a water mark??) I would love to know how to do this..

I'm so glad to see pictures of the 3 of you! That's rare:)

Gosh, Sabrina, these pictures turned out AMAZING! They could be made into post cards! My favorite is the red berries, or the second one from the last that just screams beautiful, or the ones of your whole family together, or the one of the trees... Okay, okay, so it's clear I can't decide. They're ALL just so fantastic!

I love how enjoyable activities can also become great social occasions. Isn't it wonderful bumping into people you know in surprising places?
