Nice weather for ducks by helenhall

Nice weather for ducks

last night, after a much fretted over presentation to our board at work, I was presented with an unbirthday present, all beautifully wrapped. My husband having heard me conclude that I was going to get a TZ70 to replace my broken TZ40, had ordered one for me. Despite subsequently considering getting a mirrorless camera, I had more or less reached the conclusion that I would always want a compact at hand.

Three days of rain and I missed the only window of promise today, catching up with a neighbour. So as it was nice weather for ducks, I headed over to see them and start to work out how to use my new camera.
Beautiful shot of the feathers!
