Ahh, to be young again… WW & You Capture

March 23, 2011 by Elaine

The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young. 

There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young.  I don’t think it’s a waste at all…

 

Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all taken with my new 50mm 1.4 Nikkor lens.  I’m still learning how to use it though and ANY tips are appreciated.

    Awww. Love youthful pictures. Kids sure do know how to enjoy the day. No bills or errands, just puddles, flowers, and fun!

    What a cute puddle shot that is! We are getting tons of rain in Chicago and I am wanting to strap on my rainboots and jump in the puddles myself but the neighbors may think I’m crazy!

    I love these pictures. The weather looks so beautiful, it makes me want to spend a day outdoors (or a week!!). The first one is my favorite. =)

    Is the 50mm on a Nikon fixed? I LOVE my 50mm. It takes some getting used to, but you’ll fall in love soon, I’m SURE.

    Fantastic pictures…your kids are just beautiful!
