We’ve been together for a long time, not really sure when it began to go sour. So many good times – picnics at the park, family gatherings, The Vineyard, St. John, long walks with the dogs, romantic sunsets on the beach. I thought it would never end, the pure joy when we were together.
But …relationships change, needs change… and I began to want more. I grew, but the rebel didn’t. What we had was a comfortable existence, but it wasn’t enough. And so… when tall, dark, handsome and extremely well equipped showed up on my doorstep, I let go of the past and grabbed hold of the future with reckless abandon.
While the attraction was instant, the relationship is still very new. I’m treading lightly here. There are fits and starts as we get to know each other, not sure if I’m pushing all the right buttons – but already there is music and I am in love. I can no longer deny my feelings… and … we’ve been photographed together so the Jig is Up.
I guess this is it… good bye, my rebel friend.
And HELLO CANON EOS 7D.
(God help me. Or atleast give me a dummys encyclopedia on HOW TO…. in english)

Happy New Year~

Hi Karen, I do not think I have been over here in a long time. What a cute and funny post…with gorgeous pictures. I just had an affair myself, and I am falling quickly for the new flame in my life. I still have a lot to learn. Have fun and Happy new Year!
Oh my you lucky girl. I want one!! I still don't know how to use my point and shoot. I would need a class to use that thing. Great shots already though!
No kidding on the instructions! I'll be interested to know how it goes with your camera. I'm still on my Canon Powershot. But one of these days…
Brenda
You go, girl.
Too funny!! Good luck with it and I'm a tad jealous.
You have beautiful pictures now and in the future! Awesome!
You lucky Duck!
Congratulations! Sounds like a winner of a camera. Instructions? BAH! You will do fine with it.

Oh yay – you bought my camera! I love it SO much, and I'm sure you will too!
Congratulations, Karen!!! I'm thrilled for you. Your sweet dog portrait is wonderful!
Jealousy, a feeling I am not crazy about…
I love the picture of the twisted vine.
Happy new year, Karen!
Oh I am so jealous of your new flame!!! I love my Rebel, but secretly long to move on to another like yours! 🙂
I like the new guy in your life! Did you name him yet? How about HotShot? Your photos are gorgeous! xxoo Diana

Karen, This marks a beginning for you. You are stepping up to a new level of photography. You have eye, for very artistic work. This new camera will let you expand your horizon. This is one of the tools to help you with one of your major loves, photography.
Read the manual, but just remember,go out and shoot as much, as time permits. The more you shoot, the more you learn. Then go back and read more in the manual.
Good luck with you new camera, and I look forward to seeing all the results.
Happy New Year!!!…Tim
You funny girl!! Love the pics, and your new beau is awesome; I think the two of you were made for each other. 🙂
I'll just say it. I'm jealous. Have fun!

Claudia
Wowza!! Have a wonderful time with your new love.
Aaaaaa! I wish we could study together! Only you're light years ahead and I live way over here and I would be annoying cuz you'd have to teach me. Ha!
Awesome girl!
Those shots are stunning!
ohhhhhh what a new beau !
let me know how you like it…..2011 is bringing a new camera to me too and i'm so torn as to what to get.
I cringed when I started reading this, then laughed out loud when I got to the punch line. I see from today's post and this one that you and the cam are really getting used to each other. Just what a girl needs!
So exciting! A new baby! Congratulations:)
