I have been getting re-acquainted with my telephoto macro lens.  It's been awhile since I've used it mostly because I just like to have my camera handy with my standard lens.  It's easier than ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/04/07/nose-of-the-dog/ Oh, I cannot even express my joy at the sight of spring!  We have had some lingering winter like weather and it is such a relief to see the growing plants, trees, and flowers.  The grass has started to green up, our trees are starting to bud, the flowers are ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/04/06/spring-has-sprung/ There are three squirrels that live in one of our trees.  There is also a family of cats that frequents our yard.  They are not ours but there's something like eight of them.  The cats like to chase the squirrels.  Which is funny because the squirrels fight back and defend ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/04/04/digging/ A couple weeks ago, my husband's cousin proposed to his girlfriend.  I was wondering whether I'd be asked to do the photos.  Well, I have been officially hired to do their engagement photos-which will be going out with their invitations-as well as the photos of the wedding and reception. It looks ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/03/30/its-official-a-wedding-job/ I love taking photos of my son's hands.  Baby hands are so tiny, delicate, and soft.  As they grow older, they are able to grasp more and more things. Their tiny hands represent just how little they are in this world.  When my husband holds our baby, there is such a ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/03/29/baby-hands/ I just haven't been able to take many photos.  Our entire household has been sick for the last three weeks.  As soon as one gets over it, another one picks it up.  On the business side, I helped my last client order a book from Blurb.com with all the pictures ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/03/28/through-the-window/ This is the final shot in my 'Popcorn Series' from last weekend.  I took this just as my husband put some new kernels into the machine.  They had not heated up yet and were about 20 seconds or so from actually popping. The inside of the air popper is metal and ... http://jenerahealyphotos.today.com/2009/03/27/popcorn-series-6/
