~BITING THE BULLET..~

I did it.  I bit the bullet and bought a new camera.  Those strawberries were the LAST straw....berry! :)

I turned the air a wee blue while trying to get a clear shot...and what is upsetting, the camera is one that is supposed to be very stable and blur reduction and blah blah blah.  Of course it WAS free.

I got it with my credit card points.  :)  Well, it seemed like a good deal at the time...but..

This is the one I finally bought.  Of course I wanted one for a lot more money, but after some enlightening by Di @ The Blue Ridge Gal, I would have been way over my head.  I DO NOT read directions...but I have promised myself I will this time!  It's light weight, pocket worthy and won't slip out of your hand like a "fresh fish!"  Well, that's what they said! :)
*nodding head vigorously!*

This one I can see in my handbag.  I usually have to feel around to find anything....plus I am always losing my black cell phone too.  Since I have gone gray, I thought, why not!  Might as well have a gray camera along with silver jewelry, etc. etc.

I want to thank Di  for all her help and information.  Not just on this, but other things too.  A true and very dear blogging friend!

Should I have gotten the S95?  Will I one day be informed enough to discuss the differences?  I think not..but...I'll just take my pesky little self and  hop over and ask my friend "Di."  :):)
If you don't know her...good heavens, you certainly should!
Smart lady, Di!

In the meantime:

 The rose bush sweet daughter, Maryalice, gave me is back in all it's glory.  It seemed to be dying so I cut it back and LOOK!!  Maketh me smile!! :) and :)
See...I pushed the my little butter yellow bench back onto the grass under the arbor...and I love it.
Now to grow my  beautiful vines over it...Clemitus?? (how do you spell that?  Probably why I  haven't found it yet,  but I am determined. 
For shade an umbrella will have to do for now.

All planted yesterday....finally!  Yes...this is my garden..or some of it.  Zucchini, and two kinds of squash!! :)

 PH won't let me dig up the lawn...I wonder why??? 

Wha.....a YELLOW leaf?  What, oh what have I done wrong?!

 I can spend all morning out here...and still have things to do...When I get my new camera...blah, blah, blah!!

OK!  This camera hates me!  I just know it!  It must know it's on it's way out, because these photo's are not half as bad as what it's been turning out~!  GRRRRR!
Can you kill a camera?

Love and hugs and a Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful Mother's out there! 
Love,
Mona
