Default Hi, I'm new
Hi all,

I'm new and thought I would take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Heather and I am a photography hobbyist. I really just do it for fun. I currently shoot with a Sony DSC-H50 but will be getting a Canon DSLR in the next few months... anyway here are a few of my recent shots:

one last holiday(ish) photo

gilded green

from the bottom

Christmas wonder

the last one, while not the best photo technically, is one of my faves becuase its my youngest checking out all the decorations.

Thanks,

Welcome to DPS...I just joined this summer and really love the site!

The first picture is excellent...it does look like it could be on the front of a Christmas card.
