the little bird

apparently dan ordered this fancy camera for me at christmas time. since it was suppose to take anywhere from 6-12 weeks for it to come in, he intended to give it to me for grad. i of course, was unaware of all this until last week or so when i told him my mom and oma were planning on giving me a camera for grad. thats when the story came out. then yesterday he calls me. he informs me that the camera came in on wednesday but he only has till tuesday to return it. grad is next friday. so he asked if he could give it to me now so that, if i didnt like it, he could still return it. of course, i said yes!

boy is it a gorgeous camera! was i not just saying the other day how i miss having a camera? well i have one now :) and i am so thrilled! you should see this thing. youll be jealous. it has a zoom of 18x and is 10 mega pixels. haha yes i read that off the side of the camera. and while the zoom is real great, i have no idea what the mega pixels is. im guessing it has something to do with quality of the camera. so anyways, of course i spent the whole entire afternoon yesterday snappying pictures of absolutely everything. and of course i had to post today for the fourth time just so i could show off some more pictures!

the luckiest thing happened yesterday. well, lucky for me. not so lucky for the poor little bird who flew into our front window. he didnt die though, so i suppose thats good. another good thing (once again for me) is that he was completely dazed. therefore i got to take some great pictures, dad got to hold him, and i got to touch him :) let me share two more pictures with you.

this is my dad holding the little bird. i have no clue what type of bird he is, but never the less, he's adorable! and the way he just sat there in dad's hands... a great experience i must say! i dont usually wish a bird to fly into our window but now im hoping an eagle or something will fly into it and get dazed. just enough so i can take a picture :) kidding!

and this is one of the shots i got after dad placed him in our tree. perhaps ill enter this one into a photo contest one day. but isnt he precious!? he is the cutest bird ive ever seen.. thats for sure!!
