again, it's been a while since i blogged. my old camera died on me so i haven't had any pictures lately. but i got a new camera today which is really cool and has tons of features. al and i took our first bike ride from our new place today too so what better time to try out my some of the features on my new camera? we went discovering on some of the little roads we had never been down. it was fun! we saw some wildlife: bunnies, birds and wild turkey's (pictured below) the turkey's were actually really quite far from us so this is showing how far my new camera zooms. (it's not that clear of a shot, but it zooms way farther than my old camera!)
i also have a "foliage" setting so i took some pictures of some beautiful flowers we saw. nice detail and clarity compared to my other camera!!
then on the way back, just outside our place, we saw a baby bird who must have just learned to walk cuz he was tiny! and didn't yet have functional wings. well the baby bird had gotten down the curb and couldn't get back up it. he we take a running start but just run into the curb and fall flat on his back. so al stopped and helped him up the curb (without touching him too much due to the whole you shouldn't touch a baby bird cuz then their parents won't accept them back theory) and he made it safetly back to his very noisy parents. way to go al! he saved his life! i tried to get a picture of the baby bird cuz he was so cute but my memory card was full cuz i was on the highest mega pixel setting and by the time i deleted some pics, he had run off too far. plus his mom and dad were very worried, so we left them alone.
it looks as if no one's gonna come visit me anytime soon to see the new place, so here are a few pics of it.here is the wonderfully huge kitchen and shoe closet to the right. and then perpendicular and right next to the shoe closet is the entrance door.
here's our living room complete with fireplace and large shelf full of entertainment (we have a nintendo, super nintendo, ps2, atari, and wii!) to the right is another wonderfully large closet! the living room, dining room and kitchen are all pretty much one big room but the kitchen has tile flooring and the other two have carpet.
here is the dining room area which is more used for my sewing and scrapbooking area. (two things to note: the table runner, i sewed!! and in the corner is my very own shelf for just my scrapbooking stuff! so glad to have it out and easily accessible.)
here is part of the large master bedroom. the view is from the closet. the deck is off the bedroom which is a little weird, but makes for a much better view than if it were off the side (trees vs. buildings).
and here is the view from our deck, which is actually pretty decent sized. we have 5 plastic chairs and a mini table out there and they fit with room to spare. i have used the deck for working out and for tanning :) i love it! in the background of the view is a county highway so we do have highway noise but i don't mind it at all.
the blog would only let me put up 5 pictures (don't know if that's the limit-gina, some help please) but i do have a few more of different angles of the rooms. our bathroom is pretty big and the spare bedroom is decent sized for our computer room. there is a linen closet next to the bathroom, a closet in the spare bedroom and a huge utlity closet next to the entrance door which houses our laundry along with our bikes, golf clubs, and other mismatch things. so our place has tons of closet space!!! after looking at these pictures it makes me realize how white and empty our walls look.... i'll have to see if i can't change that a bit....
