Stupid coyote.... Oh! Did I tell you I saw a fox the other day??? It was GIGANTIC!!! :):) Almost as big as a coyote, I think, but it was pure red, with a white tail and paws. It crossed the road, then stopped and stared at us!!! It was sort of cool!! :):):)

Umm... I don't know what it's called, so I'm just reading it off the camera. Maybe it's an Fuji Film FinePix A400. Maybe? I don't know! :) It's a decent camera; not too good, not too bad. :):) What's your's?? Your pictures are really great, so I'm guessing it's a good camera. :):)

'Tis a reasonably priced camera that is much better than you would excpect from the price. It is a Canon PowerShot S5IS. I ordered it off the Internet for only $350 or so, which is amazing, as it is very good and has some really advanced features, such as: Manual Focus, which is how I did most of the flower pictures, Macro, and Super Macro, which is how I did some of the other flower pictures, White Balance settings, ISO settings, adjustable flash, Movie mode, Night Scene mode, Portrait mode, Landscape mode, Sports mode, Night Snapshot mode, automatic red-eye fixer,  and other useful things. All in all, it is a very good, affordable camera, for beginners and advanced photographers. It's my first camera, and I'm glad I saved up and got it, instead of a cheap small pocket camera. Although, I'm thinking of getting a pocket camera for everyday use. If you are looking for a camera, I would highly recommend the Canon PowerShot S5IS!!! Wow I sound like an advertisement.........but everything I have said about this camera is true. I luvs my camera...............even my dad, who has a super-expensive Nikon, says that it is almost as good as his Nikon D300 or whatever it is. He has one camera body and THREE lenses!!! He is not a professional photographer tho. It's just his hobby, altho everybody says he should become a professional photographer bcuz he's so good. He is even better than I am.........as he is the one that taught me some of the stuff, although most of it I taught myself, taught me the basics..............wow this is a long post...............

Some of my most extremely prized pics. All are copyrighted Jennifer T., so don't steal them, and I'm considering putting some in contests.The first one took three tries to get the lighting behind the leaves right, and the second one took ten tries to get the settings right on my camera. I have a Canon PowerShot, one of the large ones, in case you're wondering. Anyway. Next are some pix I took when we went up to Yellowstone.

 

 

some flowers, that I used depth of field to create the effect.

 

an extremely large mushroom. That is my foot beside it!

 

the lake. It was very windy that day as you can see.

 


 

 

Every single one of these photos were taken by me, honest, in case you don't beleive me, it's true though, you can ask Martia!!!

 

Gah if you don't beleive me and say that "You took it off the Internet, didn't you." thats what my "friend" says. But I did take these pictures! (even if you still don't beleive me)

YELLOWSTONE! OH MY GOSH YELLOWSTONE! I am extremely SCARED of YELLOWSTONE right now because MY SCIENCE teacher said that there is a Volcano there and it's supposed to erupt ever lets say 1600 years (I forgot what he said exactly so this is a guess) and IT'S BEEN 1600 YEARS SENSE IT LAST ERUPTED! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! They even noticed that the magma is rising! DON'T GO TO YELLOWSTONE EVERYONE! (oh dear, that's what my science teacher told us NOT to worry about... well he also said not to worry about comets too so yup!)

Yah, but I also heard that if that happens, it's gonna affect A LOT more then just the park.

It would hit a TON of states with ash.  *shiver*

But, it's also just as unlikely as it is likely, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.  I had been obsessing over it for a week or so, so I  finally asked my dad about it.  Now I just try not to dwell on the thought!!  :)

Could it kill anyone in other states? Do you think it would rain ashes in MN?

No way, but I still don't think it'll hurt many people in Wyoming anyway.  Wyoming!!  TNO!!!!!!!! :O

We walked right over the valcano!!! :):) Unfortunately, it was hailing REALLY big pieces of hail, so it was sort of painful!! :):) Here's some pictures from of one of the volcanic spots! :)

Aren't those clouds scary looking??

You can see that we were at the top of the volcano, because we're soo high up! :)

That was the trail of watery stuff going down the mountain!

Prettyness! :D
