I went back and forth and back and forth on upgrading from my Canon PowerShot S410 with 3X optical zoom. The main thing I wanted was lots more zoom for taking bird and other nauture photos. The Canon PowerShot S410 also has a 10X digital zoom but at this magnification my pictures looked fuzzy. Should I get another point and shoot but with lots more zoom or should I upgrade to a DSLR with a telephoto lens?

Here is the latest visitor to our bird-feeder. A small, noisy squirrel who is not afraid at all! He reminds me of Beatrix Potter’s Squirrel Nutkin with his bright red tail. I suppose the birds can share seeds with this cute little fella, don’t you think?!
If you love looking sharp and admire fine detailing you’ll love these! Available in chartreuse, their perfect for spring and coordinate with most neutrals.
This poor Blue jay looks so soggy wet after 2 whole days of rain.

It was a little hard getting up to a rainy Monday, first day back to school after a vacation week. We really needed the rain though. It had been 3 weeks and the grass was getting crunchy! Rain is good, remember?!
How do you face a rainy Monday morning?
