When I got my point-and-click digital camera, it was top of the line for its class. It’s funny how now, when I go into a store that sells cameras, mine looks like a minibrick in comparison to the latest models! Oh well…obsolescence…

In any case, it takes fine pictures. One of my best pictures is the one I took of my spirea bush in full bloom back in 2002:

The problem with this camera, is that it cannot do proper macro shots. My dream camera is one that can get close enough to see the pollen grains in a tiny flower–and take a clear picture of the intricate beauty! I’ve always wanted to be able to make pictures like that. Of course, such a lens is a lot more expensive than my current camera, but someday I’m sure I’ll break down and buy macro camera of my dreams.

One of the great things about any digital camera is the ease of photomanipulation. Notice how few weeds there are in that picture? Shhhh…

On this page of scrapbook page ideas, they mention making a calendar. No more looking in vain for a calendar with proper flower pictures if I make my own!
