The sights of summer

NS July 7th, 2009

My visit in the US is drawing to a close and I will be arriving back in London on Friday morning. My sister is flying back with me and staying for another week and I’m sure the jetlag and laundry will keep me busy for a few days as well so posting will continue to be sparse for just a little while longer. In the interim, a few pictures taken with my new camera and my new love, the Canon Rebel XSi.

    I love that last photo. Seems like you are having a great trip. Can you believe though that here in the UK my thermometer was the same as yours all last week! Mind you it did depend on where you were in the country and the sunshine and showers have returned this week!

    ARE YOU TRYING TO TORTURE ME???? Why weren’t we bouncing around our alma together? These pictures are amazing; I am so glad you have a new camera. And the pics of TNC are beautiful – and TNB too. I miss all of you dearly.

  4. LOve the pickle pic!

  6. Sangria is the drink of the summer… makes me want to whip up a batch right now. Enjoy the rest of your visit :)

    That last photo is fantastic. I’ve got the same camera and I am so in love with it! Much better than a digital P&S. Have a safe trip back.
