Day 29: Butterfly II

This butterfly reminded me of a hummingbird the way he never stopped flapping his wings on this flower. That's why there's a little motion blur on his left wing, which I thought was kind of cool.

Day 28: Tim

My first portrait on my new T2i. I have a feeling I will be taking a lot of photos of this guy.

Day 27: Keyboard

Interesting that as I was uploading this photo, the MacBook freaked out and had to be rebooted. Maybe it's camera shy?

Day 26: Butterfly

Today I got to spend some quality time with my new T2i. A LOT of quality time. I accidentally got locked out of the BOQ for about 6 hours today with nothing but my new camera. No ID, no money, no cell phone...nothing. The good news is I got about 600 photos and learned a lot about my new Rebel (and dealing with frustration...). I am super impressed with it so far. Not sure how impressed it is with me yet - I have a lot to learn. I can't wait to keep experimenting!

Day 25: Rebel

Holy. Crap. I have the best husband in the world. As an early birthday present, he took me to the PX tonight and bought me a new CAMERA. A Canon Rebel T2i. I am so giddy right now. So, I know I said I would be staying faithful to my G10 for this project, but...Rebel.

Day 24: Steps

Spent another great afternoon with some friends at Churaumi Aquarium. These are the steps leading to what I call "Spider Alley."

Day 23: Lost

Another excellent beach day today, this time at Moon Beach Hotel. This little part of the beach looked like something out of Lost. Jeez I miss that show.

Day 22: Tortoise

Look at that face! Tim and I spent an amazing day at the beach at the Renaissance Hotel. As he was doing some recon looking for bathrooms, Tim found this seemingly random sandbox full of tortoises you could pick up and hold. Beautiful beach + adorable animals = GREAT day.

Day 21: Lamppost

Spent the afternoon at Torii Beach for a family day event through Tim's work. We weren't actually allowed on the beach, which was a bummer. Oh, and there was a clown there. Not my best day on the island.

Day 20: Kitty

This is Garbage, our resident dumpster kitty. She/he let me get surprisingly close for this shot. I'm pretty sure she/he really wants to be friends with me, but feels she/he has to act cagey at first. We'll be BFFs soon.
