Forgotten Photos


I love that feeling of discovering something you'd forgotten about - money hidden in a coat pocket, a chocolate bar stashed at the back of the pantry or as was the case for me on the weekend, photos I'd forgotten I'd snapped. Since getting our new DSLR, our poor point and shoot hasn't had as much use. However, yesterday when I went to bring it to a Christmas party, I discovered some snaps I hadn't yet downloaded. Here are my two favourite ones...



Yesterday's function was an extended family lunch with cousins and aunts and uncles. We had a great time catching up and enjoying all the delicious food. This coming weekend we have Paul's work party on Saturday night and a family get together with Paul's side on Sunday afternoon. Such a busy time of year but so lovely spending time with family and friends.

  10. Lovely photos!! Grace is adorable. It does feel so lucky to find something you've completely forgotten about! Which DSLR did you get by the way? I'm trying to get a new one as well and I'm leaning more towards Canon, but Nikon sounds good, too.

  12. Paul actually took the second photo - I love the colours in that shot too.

    Kaho - we bought the Canon 1000D with image stabilizer and so far have been really happy with it
