It turned into body painting.ﾠ I'd anticipated that, so Kate was in her bathing suit.ﾠ After that she played on the slip'n slide, just to wash the paint out.

I'm debuting a watermark on my photos.ﾠ I don't want to be pretentious but really wouldn't like it if someone appropriated my photos for some other kind of use.ﾠ It's happened.

Four bottles of finger paint may not have been enough.

Rolling around, jumping up and sliding on paint ...

My (belated ... should write a post about that) birthday present came on Monday.ﾠ My sweet husband surprised me with a Nikon D300, the camera I've been drooling over for so long.ﾠ I have dearly loved my D50 and the creativity it allowed me.ﾠ Before that I loved my point and shoot Olympus, which was also awesome in its class.ﾠ But there comes a time when you outgrow your toys and need to move on to the next level.
Hopefully my personal level matches the level of this next wonderful toy.

It's indeed an upgrade, and takes getting used to, but I'm in love.
Here are some images (Picasa messed them up a bit, IRL they're much crisper and sharper):

I'm hoping to be able to spend a lot more time with my new toy next week. For now work calls ....
