I'm getting a new camera delivered any day now. I hope it won't take much learning.
The cats knocked my old camera off the desk last week and it suffered a chronic ailment of some kind, refusing to focus. I never realized it was so fragile. This was a fall of less than 3 feet onto a rug. I can only be amazed the cats and I never dropped it in the preceding six years.
Meanwhile, we've had uncharacteristically rainy and cloudy weather and the light has been uncharacteristically perfect for taking pictures.
