New Camera

I came out to my desk yesterday morning and saw the sunlight was just beginning to reach the birdfeeders.  Our usual group of perching birds was busy getting their breakfast.  I reached for my new camera that I left on the desk the night before and snapped these shots in about ten minutes, sitting in my office chair through the plate glass.  There is a new album added to my Picasa Web Albums.  I have been evaluating and testing the Nikon Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras for the last 12 months.  I concluded that the one I wanted is the D90 with a lens that costs as much as the camera body.  This is the 18 to 200 lens that lets you do wide angle as well as telephoto shots without ever having to change lenses.  I decided to sell the Miata to pay for the camera so I posted the car on Craigs list.  I didn't have a call on the car for three weeks, but I went ahead and bought the camera last Friday afternoon.  Friday night at about 10:00 I got my first email response the ad.  The young couple came to test drive the car yesterday, but left without a commitment.  They did email again last night and we agreed to a price so I guess all will work out.  I love my new Nikon.  Here's to better shots.

I am so glad that you got your new camera. You had talked with me about it. Pictures look great! You do have a marvelous view from your desk. Keep posting.

My dogwoods are still loaded. They are wonderful.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

You've had me thinking about a camera but I can't go there yet. I've really think about it at night. You can do so much more with a real camera. Sounds good that you go rid of a car (I've got one too many). It looks like mother's day was full of folks (with kids)!

Weather was great today (still plagued by allergies) May have to move to the desert.
