I have been fortunate enough to save up enough funds to splurge on a new digital camera.  It’s been so exciting to take photos, especially with the zoom capibility of the camera.  Friday evening, I captured the photo of our hummingbird that periodically visits our back yard.  She is so tiny and it’s so much [...]

Re-connecting
