Taking the new camera for a walk

This evening the kids and I took a walk down the driveway and in the yard to test out the new camera. Getting good photos around here proved to be a challenge because it's hard to miss the piles of construction materials still in the yard. It's also hard to photograph Nature Girl in her natural habitat without getting arrested! Here is the result of our first time out with the camera:

Eliza is holding her "Baby Condor", which is really a Kiwi but she insists it's a condor.

















Here is my perennial herb garden near the end of its first year.






















Here is Scotty's favorite chicken, an Ameracauna named Big Eyes.





















One of our late-planted pumpkins with chickens nearby.





















Setting off down the driveway from the house. Scotty rode his pedal tractor and Eliza pushed Baby Condor in the stroller in a nest she had made for it. Eliza was complying with my request to adjust her position a bit for the photo.






















We have hundreds of plum trees lining the driveway.





























Lots of snails too.



























Some of the green ash trees are already starting to turn.

























At the bottom of the driveway looking back at the house.




































The cows.
