Paparazzi

In the midst of a lot of ick this week, my darling Ar bought me a new camera to take on our trip! We looked at them a few months ago, but I insisted no because our camera is fine as is. It's maybe six years or so old now, but still works great. However, he knew I really wanted the wider and longer capabilities of this camera. So anyhow, he surprised me by buying it for me!  Yay!!!

And by buying it for me, I mean he told me that he put money in my account and insisted I go get the one I wanted. He couldn't remember which one it was or what else I'd need... Eh, he probably would have done it that way even if he could remember - like the time he told me to order myself a Donald Driver bobble head for Christmas!  He is wonderful - and he cracks me up.

Anyhow, while I picked the camera up, he went to take a jog at the park. The plan was to meet back up at home, but since I knew exactly the camera I would get, it didn't take long so I went to the park instead. It didn't take long to get the camera up and going since it's an upgrade to what I have now - similar, but more.   Then I positioned myself behind a tree to stalk Ar - and started snapping the minute I saw him... It was fun how fast I could snap photos of him continuously. I like flipping through these on my computer super fast - it looks like he's actually moving. Anyhow, I just think these are fun and cute! Like Ar!

Unsuspecting...

Noticing something strange - I think he'd spotted my car first

Definitely knows something is going on. He told me later that he'd seen me out of corner
of his eye by now, but thought I was photographing people at the picnic table

Amused to see me

I'm starting to lose control of my zoom here.

Completely out of control now
