Harvesting Carrots

Yesterday the girls headed out with Lonnie after work to harvest our carrots.  Here in Seattle we’ve had an unseasonably cool, cloudy summer which means some of our crops have not fared well — though many have finally come around in the past few weeks, woohoo!  All three of the girls love carrots, and there is something about the surprise of the "reveal" that is kind of fun.  

These photos (and the video at the end) were taken with my brand new point and shoot camera, which Lonnie found on sale (online) this week!  Nothing fancy, but it will do the job for capturing moments when we are out and about.  The video sound quality is pretty bad (the hissing noise is annoying!) and some of the photos were blurry, but most turned out well and I am sure I will learn its quirks as I use it more. I love having a camera that fits in my pocket or backpack easily!
