• My birthday pressie

  So, I got my birthday pressie yesterday--at Rob's insistence.  Several months ago Rainee dropped my good camera just right and managed to put a dent on the lens.  As a result I've lost a lot of pictures.  Rob kept asking me what I wanted for my birthday, and I gave him a list of stuff, and he kept saying what about a camera.  I felt guilty about asking for a camera as I haven't had this one "long enough."  Finally last Friday or so when I was looking at all the pictures I lost because of the camera smudge (I'm a picky photographer LOL) I said I should just get a new camera.  It was what he was waiting for.

  So I got basically the same camera I had before except this is a 7 pixel instead of 6.  Its a Kodak Ezshare with a 10x optical zoom.  Its marvelous.  I took bunches of pictures in poor light, and was quite happy with them.

  This one in particular.

  

  This is Seal rock.  It is quite a ways out in the ocean, but with my zoom, and point and shoot I managed to catch seagulls flying in the air.  If you click on large you see it in better detail.  Too cool.

  Miniature roses at the restaurant we ate--taken through the glass window, and they still turned out quite nice. 

  

  One of my top 5 favorite flowers---the fireweed.

  

  The last of the summer daisys.  These were all taken at 7:30 at night, so the light was really crappy, but I was still thrilled with the detail, etc. 

  

  

  The forest service road I was taking the pictures on.   This is left of where we shoot at.

  And the beginning of the sunset just before Rob and I headed home.
