A Picture Perfect Day

Well, almost. Penny isn’t feeling well since mid-day. Besides that, however, it has been a nice day.

It was a clear cool day with bright sunlight— A good day to be irresponsible and run off with my new camera to try it out. I went to one of my favorite places for pictures, the beach, and spent about 45 minutes wandering around taking pictures not for their artistic effect but more to check out the camera’s functions and ability.

I’m very pleased with the way it works. Here are some sample shots:

The 20X zoom is incredible. The following are pictures taken with no zoom and then with 20X.



I sat next to Brie and took a close-up of her.


I tested the macro on our magnolia tree.


I took some indoor pictures of chairs and fans and things to get an idea of the flash capability and it looks very good. No picture worth putting here.

After lunch Penny and I sat down and made out Vermont picture book on Winkflash. We did it surprisingly fast for us. The order is in and we will see if it arrives in time for the birthday party.

KITTY UPDATE—Meredith showed up tonight!!! She was skinny and very hungry and seemed to be happy to be back.

Marmalade is still hanging around all day sleeping outside our back door. Here is a typical pose.


Tomorrow it is back to being more responsible but today was OK.
