Last month I received an early birthday present… a new digital camera. My old camera was bonked, unusable, and had been for months… possible a year or more. The battery latch was broken and duct tape apparently is not the universal fix. Long discontinued, camera replacement parts weren’t available.
Fortunately, my new camera and my old lenses, are compatible. I am in photography heaven.
Today, for my birthday, I treated myself to a long, overdue photo hike. I didn’t go far, but took my time traipsing around familiar trails snapping pix of whatever caught my eye.

Great pix and happy birthday. I too am considering rejoining tone blogging world.

What kind of camera did you get?

I upgraded from a Nikon D60 to a Nikon D5600. A few more bells and whistles but similar enough that I can use it right out of the box.

I’ve not been as prolific as I once was, but I’m slowly getting back up to speed. The new camera will help with that. I’m also looking forward to new posts from you!
