Photography can be dangerous!

As I promised myself I headed out today to take some more pics. I wasn't happy with the results nor with the killer bee attack. After I convinced the bee that I wasn't a flower or a mate by squeaking and flapping my hands around my head, I headed for home. Nature didn't look so harmless after my close encounter. And before you think "wuss" I have been stung before on my little finger and it puffed up twice its size... so yeah, Im a wuss :D

I still haven't fixed my "why the hell cant I take a picture that is in focus!" issues and have spent the better part of the day trying to figure out if its the user or the equipment. I have found out that my 28mm - 105mm lense has limitations and that maybe an upgrade is in order, one that can take a pic using anything but the f-8 setting. I'm still not ruling out user issues but even in automatic-everything mode the camera doesn't take a photograph that is in focus. Enough excuses do you think?

Here are the two photographs that came even close to be ok.
