Short intro and two shots from 2007

[CatAlii]

Hi everyone!

My name is Cathy and I live in southern California with my husband, son and a menagerie of two dogs, two cats, one parrot, one tortoise and a goldfish/frog pond.

I found this forum a few days ago and have been having so much fun searching through the old posts. I just received a 30D for Christmas and am having a great time experimenting with it. I'm using my very ancient EOS lenses (first generation!). I am very excited about getting back into photography - I've been eyeing the digital SLRs ever since they came out and can't believe I finally have one. :D This looks like a great group of very talented folks and I am excited to join.

We went to Fort MacArthur today and I finally was able to try out the camera outside. Here are a couple of my favorite shots - sorry about the scaled down resolution.

Happy New Year everyone!

Wow and welcome to POTN. Keep posting Cathy, I like your first pic. Something about it.

Glad you found us and hope you learn a bit.
I was in your shoes 18mths back and POTN has been a great help for me. And fun too.
