Capturing This and That

So, for my birthday, my sweet sweet husband gifted a cool new Nikon D3100. He'd been planning it for a while and completely caught me by surprise! Now, I know nothing about photography, but am finding all these neat features.... and having loads of fun annoying the kids and snapping shots.  Here's a couple shots from a backyard picnic we shared earlier this week. Clearly, they are less than pleased about daddy's purchase!
