Yes, I am excited about the new camera, and can't wait to take some nature and bird photos with it! Having the manual only was a challenge and I wasted several rolls of film, but I did manage to overcome some of my problems with it as well. In the meantime, there were other things that cropped up--the computer crashing, for one! So, I have quite a bit of catching up to do. Wanted to tell you how much I LOVE the lorikeet painting...M. Summers had a wonderful inspiration from your photos, and created something really sensational! I am glad you were taking a small break from birding and traveling as you wrote this post. We all need that sometimes. Christmas is almost upon us, and we will all be distracted a lot with everything that the season brings. But, I will endeavor to continue visiting you as often as I can. Have a very blessed Christmas! And maybe the new year will finally bring us a chance to meet at last. :-)A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-47689167641544862602013-11-08T16:53:08.843-07:002013-11-08T16:53:08.843-07:00P.S.
