Treasures in Grandma's Backyard

When my dad, Alysia and I came back from the Oregon Coast (which i will blog about eventually), my mom surprised me with a Nikon Coolpix camera! She said that the camera was hers, but that I can use it as long as I'm careful {squeal of joy}.

This is definitely a prayer answered. I would have never thought that I would ever be able to touch a camera like this. After reading the manual, playing around with the settings, and finding out what all the buttons did, I hit my grandma's backyard to practice.
