No Partridges In My Pear Tree

I was looking at my pear tree and it is full of pears. Right now, they are bigger than a golf ball and will be ready for picking in late August. For the past 2 years, I've lost every pear to a late, hard frost, so this will be the first pickings in several years. Good little pears coming from a good little tree.

"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." Matthew 7:17

My New Toy

My mouth has been watering for a new digital camera. After some researching and talking to other people that have digital cameras, I decided to take the plunge. So, last night, Jordan and I made a fast trip to Best Buys and upon checking out, decided I cannot go back to that store until at least the year 2009!! I got a Canon Rebel XSi and an EF 75-300 Zoom Lens. I also ordered the Rebel bag which will be shipped to me in about a week. I was so tired when I got home, I went to bed, didn't even look at my new toy, so I'll be checking it out today.

On the way to get my new camera, I was thinking how blessed I am. I have a good job, pretty decent pay for this area and thankful that I can purchase something new if I want to. I love taking pictures and take a lot of the GRC Youth Group and my dogs. I prayed and thanked God for my blessings and asked him to bless this camera and prayed that I will be able to use it for the upbuilding of His kingdom. Funny that I can take something as simple as a new camera to my God, but I'm sure he was glad I did.

So....to all you photographers out there, I may be seeking your expertise!!!
