From a Child's Eyes

As you probably know by now I've had a little bit of technical difficulties when it comes to my camera.  The camera I use a a P&S that I received for Christmas way back in 2003. It is a good camera and I've thoroughly enjoyed it these past 7 plus years. I am just at the place that I would like a better camera. True I know nothing about photography, but I can learn.

In the meantime...

Just this morning I discovered that my son had been taking pictures with my camera! I thought I'd share some shots that he took. These are through the eyes of a five year old. They truly look at the world differently.

The Photographer Himself 

Isn't he cute. I love that bubble gum smile!

Some of his favorite food--Cupcakes!

A closer look at the photographer.

The floor looks the same.

A new perspective of the china cabinet. 

 

 

 

 

                                             I don't think I've ever saw the underside   
                                                           of the shelves, until now.

                                                 The floor again...still looks the same  

                                       Not sure what this is, but I like the earth tones.

While the Cat's Away the Mice Will Play

Well, it won't exactly be play but the mice (mom) will be busy cleaning out the cat's (son's) room while he is away.  

Our son is gone to town visiting cousins for the next few days. While he is off having spring break fun his dad and I are going to take advantage of the time and spring clean his room!!! Something that is badly needed!  This kid never wants to get rid of one single thing. I mean when we are cleaning out his  room, if there is a wadded up piece of  paper  that he's thrown on the floor (and he seems to think that the floor is a  trash  can even though he is constantly being reminded where the trash can  is.) that wadded up piece of paper suddenly becomes a treasure when you start to pitch it.  

My older kids were the  same way, they never wanted to  get rid of a toy, even though it might be broken and had not been played with  in 3 years. The difference were they left home to go to school.  While they were gone to school- the  room would be cleaned out! They never missed the  old stuff. Enjoyed the newer stuff better and especially the cleaner, uncluttered room. 

My goal for the next few days---Unclutter and reorganize! 

NEW CAMERA

I need a new camera.  I want a new camera.

How about...

 

This one? 

Or

This one?

Or maybe just maybe

This one???

Shoot, I'm getting desperate here!

I'll even take...

This one

or

On second thought

Maybe I won't!

I still need a new camera. ...sigh

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I won't be here tomorrow to wish you a happy St. Patty day, so thought I'd do that today!

I will have to admit I am not Irish. I am not Catholic and to be honest with you, I'm not totally sure what the day is all about. The main thing I can tell you is that when I was a kid; you'd better wear green or you would get pinched! Ouch, I didn't want that so I always tried to remember to wear green to school!!!!

I know that I said I would post on the blog more, and compared to the way I was posting...I am. Actually I've had camera issues so I haven't been able to load my pictures into the computer lately.  I'm still not sure if anyone is reading this blog so I don't know that it really matters anyway...

I just wanted to say in my best Irish brogue,  Top 'o the day to ya,  Mister and Mrs. Shannon and to all yer wee ones too!  Off to  Tara we go, Scarlet!  Don't ask me what that means.  I just felt like saying it.

Maureen O'Hara I'm not. 

While I'm trying to think up something to blog about why don't  y'all just mosey on over and see what's  "In the Kitchen"  The tab is right up there. See it?
