Charlotte's off for a hike with her friends and had to try out the new camera. The Minolta Dimage we've been using finally reached the end of its productive life. Our new Nikon 5900 looks like it will make a great little camera for everyday use. I'm still itching for a nice Nikon D50 when the photos really count. A point and shoot camera sure is convenient, but they're always a compromise.

Can't resist one artsy photo.
