I love my new camera! So far, it loves me. I got a new camera bag and made sure it would be something my long suffering husband won't mind carrying. (Bless him!)
So... what to do with my old one...
Well, if you were me you would think of the young man who asked you very informed questions about photography the last time you photographed an event. The one who told you he just joined the photo club at his school but only had a compact point-and-shoot camera. The one you asked to take your camera out to the crowd... "take some pictures... fear nothing and have fun."

It is his to beat up and break... but it really is mine. Oh yes, there are strings attached, young man. If your grades slip... that camera comes back to me!!! Keep up the good work!
Hello Exhibit Opening...This is your best shot.

I will be posting all photos tomorrow to our
facebook fan page. I am pretty sure you can view them even if you don't have a facebook page... if you do have a facebook page! Become a fan!
The CameraIt continues to amaze me. I have taken some bird pics that are average... I will keep them for now but there was one I really liked:

A beautiful Western Mockingbird. Oh the songs they sing and the joy they bring me. That is why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. They rule our backyard but do manage to share it with some rather lovely fellow species... more pics as I get the hang of it.
With sincere apologies to anyone who may read this blog, the ones who may take offense to LOLanything. I give you... my first... maybe my last... LOL Bird:
