My Santa~~My Man

And what a good Santa My Man was to me!

I can't say that I thought I was really that good throughout the year...but maybe the stars were aligned "just right!"

This is my one and only gift...which was plenty...

and just what I wanted!

Of course, when you shop

for your own gift, it's not hard to get exactly

what you want! ;~)

The man in the brown truck brought it to our door over a week ago, and it's been sitting in the box (unopened) in the living room the whole time. My Man did wrap it for me on Christmas Eve to make it look official! Yes, he just wrapped the shipping box!

Lisa, over at the Laughing Orca Ranch, has a SX10 and I absolutely LOVE her photos! And Ed at Thoughts from the Road (Mr. Camera Man himself), thought it was the best camera for the money.

So far, I'm totally pleased with what I'm getting.

FYI, my Fuji FinePix was a good camera until the Auto Focus started messing up and driving me crazy...probably a lil' too much trail dust!

Rohan's beautiful strawberry roan coloring is exact!

As are the browns and tans of the alfalfa

field in the background.

The zoom...I'm in LOVE with the zoom!!

I'm sure I can take a photo of an owl's eye if I wanted to.

OK...I'll try that tomorrow!

Even with the dank, dark, brown yard the

action shots came out good.

Cowboy 'n Bella Jo enjoy a good game

of Tug 'n Run every day!

The zoom...did I mention that I LOVE the zoom?!?

This is our neighbor's house about a mile

up Anderson Valley...I'm amazed!

Cowboy's white eyelashes...too cute! Even in the

shadows I can see details of the subject.

The blue sky really is that blue in real life!

And, yes, the browns are brown, but the faint

sage green...ah yes...

I'm really liking the details the images pick up.

The lighting and colors are true.

Then there's the macro...not only does it have macro,

but it has a "Super Macro" too!!

What was this ant doing out in the dead of winter...

beats me?

My favorite photo of the day is a macro, and I'll

post it for Macro Monday this coming week!

My Man's a pretty good shopper if I say so myself!

Cindy Sue agrees ;~)

Thanks honey~~
