New Addition to the Family

After much hemming and hawing, I finally bit the bullet and made a commitment. I had been shopping around for a digital camera for months. I had originally decided on a Canon A-90: a very pricy little number that offers all kinds of whistles and bells, including manual controls, video functions and six mega pixels.

I decided a few days ago that I didn't need that much camera. If I want to take extra large, special photos, I can use the professional equipment I use at work. For life and for this blog, I can use this beautiful Canon A-75

You can probably guess that this blog will feature more pictures from here on out.

To get us started, here's a picture of me and my new camera:




Now that we've gotten the picture of myself out of the way, here's something more exciting. The following is a picture of my very humble kitchen window ledge. Pay special attention to the plant:




What's so special about this plant? Well, I planted this little guy from a seed this May. It has been growing and getting larger and growing flowers. The other day, I noticed it was doing something quite remarkable:




It is growing a pepper! How cool is that? I've got a pepper farm in my own kitchen.

Life doesn't always have to suck, you see?
