Poor Bella, has taken quite a backseat in the photo department.  She is still a HUGE part of our family and I need to make more of an effort to photograph her.  She is getting pretty old and creaky these days.  I actually said to her the other night, “Come on Bella, let’s go for a run…” as I opened the door.   She looked at me for a second, sighed, and laid back down on her bed.  For those of you who have known this dog, I am not lying, that story really did happen.

And, for those of you who are interested, my new lens is a Nikkor 50 mm/f/1.8.  It was a great buy and I highly recommend it if you have a Nikon and want to shoot in low light situations.  I had to use a flash in the Space Center yesterday (yuk), but it is great in my house.  It is even better outside… like the pics with Olivia below.  I have only begun to play with it, but I think it will be money well spent.
