Happy birthday to me!

Yesterday, I turned 40. Scott helped me celebrate by not telling our friends (who were over for our usual gaming night), keeping it low key, and getting me the DSLR I've been coveting for over a year.

I took it to the Japanese Garden yesterday (he gave it to me a bit in advance) and shot some photos with both the standard and telephoto lenses. Mother Nature gave me the only sun-break forecast for this weekend in the afternoon, meaning the telephoto lens was *useful* (for more than pictures of cloud and fog).

I was totally lazy and uploaded the JPG images exactly as they came out of the camera instead of processing the raw files and all that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *throws confetti in a low key way*

And that first photo is AMAZING. All of them are good, but this one is especially good!

Thank you! I really liked that one. I took quite a few of that feature - the ripples on that one were just perfectly timed, I thought.
