a post mainly of pictures: meet nikon!

my first shot this morning. icy window. yep:)
i didn't even head down for a shower before i put this thing together. {and let me tell you: people who know me know i love showers. and nearly nothing goes first before it.}
:)
so i screwed on the lens, popped in the battery, and made sure i had an sd card in it...

yeah. so excited you get a morning shot of me. oh boy.
