is this weird?

so i was going through my africa pictures ... and i stumbled across these. i am so intrigued ... i can't remember, did i show you these?

I have a dream...

...to one day be rich enough to afford photography equipment!! Yikes! Who knew this was such an expensive hobby?! On the advice of my dad, I purchased the newly introduced Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor. What does that description mean to someone unfamiliar with photography?? All you need to know is....it kicks ace! It's a high-powered telephoto lens with vibration reduction and superb optical performance. I just got it the other day and am eager to put it to use. Neighbors beware! You will be my first victims! :-)

Here's my attempt at this blog thing you were raving about at the bar last Friday. Seems like it could be kinda neat and a fun way to keep in touch with everyone, but you and I would probably be the only people who keep up with it. Anyway, that's all for now. Here's a cute pic of my niece Ava that I took the week before Christmas. Too cute!
