Yes, all of you who were wondering, or maybe don't even care, I don't know. :) I am still alive.
It's a little less than 2 weeks until our Greece trip, and I'm super excited. I bought a new camera for the occasion. Well, technically I used some of the points I've earned writing travel journals, but it's a new camera just the same. It's a Canon S5, it's got 12x zoom and 8mp, with a 3-inch (I think) display screen. I never thought I'd be anything but a Nikon girl, but so far, I'm really impressed with this camera. The zoom is fantastic (Nikon didn't have a point-and-shoot with that kind of zoom) and the shots are really clear. The camera has anti-shake, so it doesn't need a tripod as often.
Here are some pics taken this weekend with the new camera. "The guy" and I went downtown to the Richmond Capitol grounds to practice taking pics for the trip. I have to train him up. Ha.

Welcome to the world of Canon :-)
I C said Hootin' Anni! Gotcha on "the guy". Message loud and clear, and lordy, no ---not even thinking about "Him".
Some great pictures taken over the weekend.
Maybe your move to Richmond is a good thing for all considered.

Your pictures look great! I'm sure that you are really going to enjoy your new camera on your fabulous Greece trip.
I want a Canon, that's what my old film camera was and I loved that thing!!
great photos!!
Of course I care. Don't you know, cats suffer in silence...
My human also has a canon. It was tough choice between the canon and the nikon though but the canon won.
Cool photos! I definitely need to get a new camera. I bet you're really looking forward to this trip with "the guy"!
I will have to come back to look at your pics, my connection is ve-ry-slow-today :(
thanks for giving information about your new camera, I need a new one but can't decide which one I should get!!
Greece sounds wonderful :)
So where's "the guy"??? I thought you were trainin' him up?! Doesn't that mean practicing self portraits of the two of you? At arms length? LOL! I looooooove Canon! I've always wanted a Canon! Dang! You get the camera, the GREECE... AND the guy!
I'm loving your pictures! and Yay on your new camera...i need to figure out how (to have the time)to earn all those points! LOL
But what I'm looking for is a nice pocket sized digital camera.
Glad to hear that all is well. Darly's flower girl dress still fits her ;) just kidding.
Awesome pics :) Looks like you're going to have some great pics coming from your upcoming trip!
I'm a Canon girl too (formerly an Olympus girl)!
Looks like we'll be in the Med around the same time, you guys in Greece, we in Sicily. Maybe we can still do that MIRL... somewhere inbetween, perhaps... Corfu? Just kidding!
Have a great time in Greece! Swim, swim, swim all you can, it's got the best, cleanest water I have ever found anywhere in the world!
I'm glad you're still alive, and blogging occasionally :)
Especially liked the squirrel pic.
I'm with Bone, glad to your alive! lol I have been out of the blogging scene for a long time. Nice to see you again! Greece is going to be a wonderful experience! I'm jealous!!
For a while there I thought The Guy was holding you hostage! :)
Great pics! Mine never come out that well...sigh.
Glad to know you are alive and well and living in the state of blissfulness. Hope your trip is wonderful!
Be sure to take lots of photos in Greece!! Be safe, and have fun!!
Travel journals? Where do I sign up? ;-)
The photos are gorgeous: a fabulous camera is one of my goals... along with everything else.
my favorite digital camera was a Canon, but now it's so out of date, I use something I don't like nearly as much just because it's got higher resolution.
wow, 8mp. that's a lot of p! :)
I have been thinking of you every time they mention the fires in Greece in the news...stay safe!
And I love your pics, I can see them now :)
I'm sure you and The Guy are off having a fabulous time in Greece, but just wanted to say hi! :)
Well! Greece is GORGEOUS -- just as I suspected! Still no "guy shots" huh? Sheeeesh... I was hopin' after doin' GREECE together you might be comfortable enough to share! LOL!
Oh well! Guess what??? I'm gonna be a GRANDMA!!!! SOON! Whoooooo hoooo!
