It's easy to get caught up in life, work, etc. Stresses build and problems surface and it helps to try something new at times.

Years ago I picked up a Canon Rebel on clearance at Chinamart and shot a lot of pictures with it - all on auto mode. Then a few years later I picked up a more modern version at a pawnshop in CA while visiting our Marine - and kept on shooting on auto mode. Then last year our daughter-in-law gifted me another Rebel. I'd already moved the first one down the road to an aspiring photographer, but I still have two camera bodies to play with.

Recently I got to thinking - it's about time I move on from "auto mode" and learn at least the basics of how these time freezing machines work. So now I've created a page on my blog that refreshes from an album I set up on the book of face to host the pics deemed worth sharing as I look at Coffee Country through the lens. Most of them are different shots around the park across from our house. As time goes on I plan to add different scenes from around here as well.

Here's a link for anyone interested in seeing a bit of our world down between the Canal and the Equator.
