LOL I need to find some winter motivation. to keep me awake. Your Panasonic Lumix takes great pictures, I have a Nikon Cool Pix. 5mp and could not stand the delay. I always missed the best shots. My slr's are a Minolta and cannon.When comparing photo quality I prefer Minolta. So When the $600 tax rebate came I bought this Sony a200 12mp. It is point and shoot or advanced. I love putting it on action and taking my road trip pictures at 50-70 mph. I am not the driver. The auto focus can get a bit picky on the slr. I had to focus on a car bumper to get the mountain shot in Arizona. All my lenses from the Minolta fit on the new camera. Because Sony bought Minolta. <blockquote>Grammy, I hear you about shutter delay. Using the old Sony the subject could travel out of state before it 'clicked'. The Panasonic is lightning fast compared to it. I've gotten a mini tripod to help when using the zoom lens - The auto stabilizer isn't enough in an 'old' mans hands. Getting 'camera happy' is keeping me motivated. I can't wait to get out and see what I can find hiking around. The only problem is that I'm now obsessed with the blog. I need to redesign and update my web site (original winter hobby) but I can't sit long enough to get back into it now.</blockquote> Hay thank for letting me know ,I will be asleep for the month of Dec..

Grammy,
I hear you about shutter delay. Using the old Sony the subject could travel out of state before it ‘clicked’. The Panasonic is lightning fast compared to it. I’ve gotten a mini tripod to help when using the zoom lens – The auto stabilizer isn’t enough in an ‘old’ mans hands.

Getting ‘camera happy’ is keeping me motivated. I can’t wait to get out and see what I can find hiking around. The only problem is that I’m now obsessed with the blog. I need to redesign and update my web site (original winter hobby) but I can’t sit long enough to get back into it now.

I tried to get golden rod to grow no luck. We had some in a gully and I tried to transplant it. Actual I would like to make flower bed of different state flowers from my family past. My mom from Nebraska and the golden rod if there state flower. Coffee is on. <blockquote>peppylady, I've found it easy to transplant. You just need to dig down deep and far enough around the clump to get a good root ball so the plants don't even realize they've been moved. Get some muscle bound helper to pop the clump out and move it for you. Too bad Goldenrod has such a undeserved bad reputation. I can't recall any nursery selling any but someone must.</blockquote> Get out the fly swatter!!!

The wasp is so clear. I am still learning how to use my camera to it's fulllest capacity. So far, I still haven't read the directions that came with it, and I've had it for 9 months!! I like your 1-liners, too! Jan <blockquote>Jan, I recommend to all they stop by and check out your photos. And poetry lovers will appreciate the blog too. Expect to find me lurking about often.

Jan,
I recommend to all they stop by and check out your photos. And poetry lovers will appreciate the blog too. Expect to find me lurking about often. I’m not a poetry kind of guy but I am a photo phreak.
