Mama Got a Brand New Toy!

Get your minds out of the gutter, people! It's a camera...what else? My everyday camera is on it's last breath. It was old and on it's third owner and now I've pretty much killed it. Can you hear Taps playing faintly in the background? I definitely gave it a work out and it gave me it's all. So, I must now lay it to rest. Poor little thing, it served me well.

But I already have a good camera. Why do I need another one, you ask? Good question! I can't take my good camera to work or on my walks with me and that is where most of my pics come from for my blog. I have to save that baby for my serious pics. So it was a necessity. I mean, I can't live if I can't take pictures 24/7, right?

Well, it's cute and it's blue and it's twice, no, three times the camera my old one was. It has a bigger screen so my poor old eyes don't have to strain. It has more than three times the mega pixels, oooooooh!! Which means more clarity and sharpness, I think. And it zooms in like nobody's business. So now I can get the hairs on the legs of the fleas on the dog at ten paces!!!! Oh, Baby!

So, what does all this have to do with today's subject? Not a thing! Just wanted to share the excitement.  Maybe I will zoom in on things and see what happens. I got it...all pictures, but two, today have been taken by the new camera which will, henceforth, be known as....Louie. I don't usually name inanimate things, but the mood just struck me.

Here we go. Let's see where this leads.

Did I mention it zooms? This caught my eye in the rear view mirror, so I pulled over. I stood in the middle of the street and zoomed in on it.

Pretty Path

 This is what it looked like before I zoomed in. I'm standing in the same spot.

Can you see it dead center between the trees? C'mon, Squint!

Here's my new blue toy!

Playing around in Zach's room. There was a tiny heart-shaped potato chip.

Then in the midst of taking chip pix, Zach appeared in his phone.

What Fun!

I wanted to take a picture of a present in honor of today's subject, but I was too lazy to wrap a box just for kicks, so, here's some bright wrapping paper instead.

Mmmmm, Cupcakes!

With all the bells and whistles on this new camera, there is definitely a learning curve. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!
