Picking strawberries...

I went to a local strawberry farm (Way Fruit Farm) with some friends yesterday. More than the strawberries, I was looking for some fun time and a chance to take nice pictures :-) Here are a few I have... All taken under considerable cloud cover... After looking at each, I can see how they could have been better... Especially the one with the hat & strawberry baskets. I took a lot of pictures from different angles and this is the only one that came out okay. I keep thinking about getting a book from the library to learn about composition... hm... I should put that on my to-do list - otherwise it'll never get done!

Lets have some ice cream! Yum!

Oh boy! Ice cream - I'm not one of those typical ice cream junkies! BUT I'm down for some Penn State creamery ice cream any time - day or night - especially some Peachy Paterno! Yum! Here's some awesome "peach in a bowl". If you are around these parts of central Pennsylvania - don't miss a trip to the creamery. Here's some history of the creamery...

Books and a cafe...

Will you believe it if I say that I was not in the mood of taking pictures for the past few weeks because my computer was on the brink of crashing due to not having enough memory! I couldn't download the pictures on my camera and so no way to take new pictures! Now that out of the way (I have about 4gb on my drive now which should give me a few more days!), I'm back to taking tons of pictures!

This afternoon I was sitting in Webster's Bookstore and Cafe working and took a few pictures. An awesome cafe and a great used bookstore makes Webster's a beloved local hangout place. Here's what I have...
I didn't want to use flash, so both pictures are a bit shaky... I should get into the habit of carrying the tripod... Oh, well, some other time :-) I really need to work on my composition - I should borrow a few books from the library and see how the pros do it!
