Remotes = cool

There's definitely a unique challenge and skill in taking self timed photos without a tripod. Usually this involves propping the camera up on something to ensure you have the right angle and taking several test shots. Well in order to help ease the process, I bought a remote from buydig.com for our Nikon. Now I won't have to run across the room and get in position only to run back, see if the photo was good, and then repeat again if it wasn't.

I also bought a UV filter for our zoom lens in order to help protect it from any damage that a 2yr might inflict on it. I picked up a Hoya 72mm UV (Ultra Violet) Multi Coated Glass Filter from Adorama.com.

Chihuly Glass in the Desert

Target sponsored a free weekend at the Desert Botanical Gardens which was featuring a Chihuly exhibit: The Nature of Glass. You had to get reservations even though it was free so that they wouldn't be too crowded. Luckily we got ours before they sold out. We had been to the gardens before but the glass definitely adds a unique twist on the landscape.

Can I borrow the keys?
