Thankful For...My Camera

I am so thankful for this camera! I literally waited for it for years; saving up money only to need it for home expenses or other needs that couldn't be ignored. It became rather frustrating to get so close to have enough to upgrade my Canon and then not have the money to do so! But, I guess I can say "Good things come to those who wait" because when a series of unexpected financial benefits came my way, I finally got the camera I was hoping for. I love its macro features and I love its zoom. And I really must learn more about what it can do because I've only touched the tip of the iceberg of its capabilities. But for now, I'm so happy when I upload a shot like this and see how much detail I've captured!

Beautiful shot! FAV!

[Bev]

Great shot, Ann. Fav. I wish I could upgrade mine, but unfortunately I am unable to. But you also take far better photos and have a much better eye than I do, so it's also the photographer behind the camera that makes it work.
