If you ever see them again, there are ways to quickly get rid of them. When I first saw the cake my immediate thought was that it looks like a crown! Congrats on your new baby! I have the d5000 which is probably about the same as your new 3200. I love it and normally shoot in Aperture Priority Mode. Try it out, I think you'll like that mode and you won't have to worry about the flash popping up! Just make sure to open up your aperture all the way (to get the most light into your photo, unless you're shooting into sunlight), which means it will be your smallest f-stop, probably somewhere around f3, depending on how wide your camera lens can open. This might sound Greek to you, but once you play with it you'll soon understand! Have fun!! You are going to LOVE it!!

I took it outside, sprayed it, left it outside for he sun to cook it warm and the bugs died. Still careful of it, but I think it is ok now.<br />thank you for the kind comment on my blog, as we encourage others we remain encouraged.<br />Looking forward to your beautiful pictures from your new 'camera'.
