@pamalama Thank you, Pam. It's a lot easier to use than the Canon. I don't have to change lenses and I don't have to go into the menu to go from landscape to macro. I can do it by pushing a button and seeing my option through the viewfinder. I get so frustrated with the Canon and the tripod, but I'll keep trying when I have time to fool with it.
@mittens Pine is not a good wood to burn here. Too much sap that pops and has been known to cause fires outside of the fireplace. But maybe for a nice fire pit outside in the yard. =)
@corinnec Thank you, Corinne.
@joysabin Thank you. I've never seen them burn them. They just eventually rot.
@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana. No. They sit until they rot away.
