We finally got around to getting a new camera. The old Olympus has been misbehaving by only working when it wants to. Rather frustrating when you're trying to capture a shot of your grandchild blowing out birthday candles.


Olympus Camedia D-550

Over nine years ago it was considered to be a good, novice/amateur camera priced at $499.00. I got it free with my Air Miles points.


Our new camera is a Cannon Power Shot SX130 IS

The IS stands for Image Stabalization. This is something I find to be a necessity with the essential tremor. It received two thumbs up in reviews and costs around $250.00. We found ours on sale.

Dust bunnies love the wind. I had all the windows open yesterday and the dust bunnies came out of their hiding places to play with each other. I should actually be calling them dust lambs because they consist of broken semi-spun bits of wool and fibre that escaped from my drum carder. There might even be some dust puppies in there. If you are wondering what dust bunnies have to do with my new camera.....
