Happy World Photography Day
This post is a bit camera nerdy. But there are pictures for those of you who don’t like to read. Ooooo…zing! Ahem…it’s after midnight and I’m getting a little slap-happy. Moving along!

A friend of mine invited me and the Hubby to spend this past weekend in Wisconsin with her and her family. They have a GORGEOUS house on a quiet lake in the Northeast corner of the state. We went tubing, jet skiing, boat cruising around the lake and flying through the woods on an ATV. We …
