Willow's Snow Pics

We still haven't dug ourselves out from the blizzard of  '11, and received even more snow yesterday.  As always, Willow was ready with the camera, to document the whole thing.

I love it when Willow grabs my camera and captures her world.

Woodland Hike

There is one thing we love about where we live currently: the woods at our back.

Fun with Friends

We spent some time this week with our best friends.

We played

 

A lot!

 

And explored 

 

  

And learned

 

Willow, of course, documented the whole thing.  I may have to just trade her the better camera--her pictures are lovely and artistic.  It's pretty amazing to see the world through her eyes, in the most literal way possible.  How lucky for her, to grow up at a time when the technology is available to capture images in the moment and at only negligible costs.  What i would have given for a digital camera at her age!  I hope i soon have the nerve to trust her with a piece of equipment better suited for a more serious pursuit of this hobby, because i do think she's ready for it.  But am i?  Here are some images that she captured herself with a very basic, cheap, old camera:

For her birthday, Willow really wanted her own camera.  A good one is out of her birthday money price range, but i suddenly remembered that a family friend had given us a cheap camera while back--i put it away because i lacked the patience required for its slow shutter speed and lack of quality, but have since realized it's a perfect starter camera.  Here are a few of the results:

As you can see, the quality is rather dismal, but i think she's got some talent with composition!
