**Lisa is Jumping Up and Down**

I GOT A NEW CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, poor little Canon Elph - I've taken you everywhere for the past 2 1/2 years, and I hated to replace you (sort of) - you've taken thousands and thousands of pictures for me, you've been my faithful companion.  You've been laughed at, banged up, dented, and dropped in the snow.  And I have loved you (for the most part) every minute of the way.  I promise I'll still take you on vacation this year, don't fret.

And HELLO Kodak Z1012is!!  I'm still trying to get used to the new camera - my Canon would focus up to 1 inch away from a subject, taking super close macro shots, while the Kodak only likes to get about 4" away, but I still think it takes a pretty great picture.  I won't bore you with my first batch of pictures; you can see them on Flickr if you'd like. Check it out-here's a picture of the compost bowl:
