It's so tiny

Our future lacrosse stars!


I am talking about my new camera. It just came in the mail this weekend. I wanted a smaller one that could fit into my pocket and would be easy to take places. Well, it is perfect. It is a Canon SD1000. They advertise it being smaller than a deck of cards. It is about 1/5 the size of our other camera. And just look what I have already learned to do. It has many fun settings I need to learn how to use. Our last camera might have those too but I got it when A was 6 months old, read the manual once and forgot most of the directions. Now, who knows were those directions have gone. I really just wanted a simple point and shot but seems like I have gotten so much more. Be on the lookout for my exciting new styles.

These are black and white with just one color showing. Cool! But I can't figure out how to make it any color besides green. Will be wonderful once all the trees start to turn green but hoping to be able to do other colors before long. If our Christmas cards end up being black and white with green you'll know I did not have success.

If anyone has this camera please feel free to give me advice on how to use it better. Plan on getting more practice since it is starting to warm up here. Not much going on here to report. We spent a lot of time outside the last few days since the weather has been improving. So nice not to be trapped in this house!

Great photos! I love the special effects. I may end up getting one of those too. Let me know when you figure it out.
