I got a new 50 mm lens for my D-SLR camera for my birthday and have been having fun playing around with it. I decided to capture the summer flowers in my garden to test it out. The aperture opens up all the way to 1.4 and produces a Bokah effect (blurring of the background) by using a shallow depth of field.

I'm having so much Fun!

Alex was playing on the couch - jumping up and down and laughing so hard his tummy probably hurt. His Dad was encouraging him and they were playing off eachother so well.

Then, he jumped off the couch and on landed on a corner of something really sharp. He bled quite a bit and was pretty upset. But, after everything settled down, he was OK, but now he has a big scrape.
