Looks Are Decieving

Yesterday we were going a little a lot stir crazy. It has been a very long, cold winter, and we are sick of being stuck inside. So when I looked outside and saw the sun shining I thought we would head outside. Lesson learned - just because the sun is shining and it looks like a beautiful day, doesn't mean it's not freezing and windy. We went for a little walk around the arboretum, and got right back in the van because it was so cold it hurt. *sigh* We will try again another day.

We were only out there for about ten minutes, but I managed to snap a couple photos. I'm making an effort to shoot on completley manual mode which is a bit of a challenge to get the hang of, but I think it will really improve the quality of my pictures. I also got photoshop and have been trying it out for editing. These are my first photos from my attempt.
