Out and about

Today was my first real day of being out and about.  It was also the first sunny day we've had for a few days.  I was happy for both since I was getting a bit antsy being stuck at home. 

Our main outing today was a walk around the Yates Mill Park in Raleigh.  It was the perfect way to spend some time out in the sunshine as well as have a leisurely stroll around the lake.  We took our cameras along and got some decent pictures.

Apparently you can tour the mill during the warmer months which I think would be fun.  This is also probably an amazing spot in the middle of the autumn colors.  It didn't matter to us because we just had a nice time being outside for about an hour.

It is probably hard to see but Alan and I are both in the reflection of this window.

I took a bunch of pictures but the sun was in a tricky spot so I didn't get too many good ones.  I have lots to learn about aperture and other camera tricks to get around those sorts of issues.  For now, you can check out my Flickr stream to see the shots I thought were worthy enough to post.
