Katie and Rich have given me a great new toy for my upcoming birthday.  The new camera will enable me to play with any pictures I take and learn how to take better photos.  Here’s the camera:

Here I am trying it out in the back yard.

Here are some of the pictures.

These pictures are the result of dinking around, trying some of the features.  There is a ‘smile shutter’ that detects smiles, which is why we have a picture of Katie showing her pearly whites.

Expect lots of pictures from me in the coming months.  My goal is to improve my photograhic skills.

Thanks Katie & Rich for a terrific birthday gift.  (It’ll keep me out of trouble too!)
