May 18, 2006: New Camera!

I have wanted a digital camera for a long time, and, for various reasons, never got one. I finally chose one by the simple expedient of going squeeeeeeee! at the shiny little Canon PowerShot SD550 that Kira is using now. 7.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom . . . spiffy. You can expect a lot more illustrated Illuminators from now on!

Here's one of the things that sold me: a dragonfly picture I took with her camera at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center here in Austin. This is about half the original image area. It was a quick shot and I had never used the camera before. Wow.
