Day sixty-two

The tree finally goes up! And I finally stepped out of the safe zone on the camera - which works great for most things I like to do. But I keep trying to figure out how to do low-light shots like this, and the camera keeps either popping the flash, or keeping the shutter open forever until everything is blurry. So tonight, I put the dial on M and started pushing buttons, taking pictures, and adjusting again until, finally - I got something closer to what I was seeing with my eyes. Its not perfect but its a start.
