No-No

When I got my camera I read the book through - really I did!  Then today the light was so beautiful I took two pictures, this one and another.  Then, on a hunch, I read through my book again and sure enough  -- don't aim your camera at a light source, you might hurt the inside workings of it!

Dang!   Well, I decided to share the picture and the advice and I'll just hope that two pictures didn't ruin my great new camera.     


Happy 20th birthday to my sweet granddaughter, Hannah!!

I didn't know that - but I don't have a really good camera, so it probably can't be harmed. Happy Birthday to your beautiful granddaughter.

Hey Diane. Yikes! How did I get a week behind in reading your blog? I tell you. Just not enough hours in the day at times. Hope all is well. I see you are enjoying playing with your camera. Don't point it at a light source. Hmmm, never heard that warning on a camera before. I know how you feel about the city cutting down trees and such. They are always doing that here, usually no rhyme or reason and it really irks me. At least you have lots of nature surrounding you. We have very little and when they start cutting at it, I just want to whack someone upside the head. Ha! Did you take that picture of the buffalo? Just beautiful. have video on my camera but never use it. In fact, wish I would have researched before I got my new camera last year as the one I bought doesn't have good zoom at all. Hope you have a great week. Best wishes always, Tammy
