It's a Sunny Day

So, it's finally sunny (after a torrential downpour yesterday) and I had the opportunity to test out my new camera in the sunshine today (and not gray blahness)! I'm still learning all the ins and outs of the camera (only halfway through the manual), but so far its been so much fun! I can't wait for a really good sunset at the beach now...here are some shots I've taken so far...I'm still learning, and my test subjects at hand are the cat and dog so please forgive the repetitive animal shots.
