Smile!

In a small, personal effort to stimulate the sluggish US economy I decided to buy, as a birthday pressie to myself, a new camera.  I didn't really need a new camera, but a new camera I now have.
The Nikon D3100 is a bit of a step up from the D3000 I have been using for the past 18 months, but it's still just an entry level DSLR. I have a Nikon D50 which is a more serious camera, but more importantly perhaps is the fact that the lenses I use with the D50 are much more serious lenses than the kit lens that the D3100 comes with.  Not being too expensive a DSLR, this is the camera that I am most likely to throw into my handbag and take everywhere with me.  And yes, I am more often than not to be found out in the vineyard with this camera slung about my neck, on the off chance I spy something that may be of interest for me to blog about.  Besides, this camera is very pretty and comes in a snazzy Vinogirl Red.  
Love it!

The red is so stylish! Love it. Can't wait to see what photos you'll snap with it. :) All the better for your readership!

Looks even better in person, so shiny. I've got to finish pruning before I get to really play around with it.

I do have a bit of a healthy glow going on, but it comes from inside :)
