Greetings all,
Playing along with Maxabella's I'm Grateful For late this weekend, due to the enormous Handmade Market in Canberra yesterday. That deserves it's own post of love, appreciation & dedication . . . after i recover from happy exhaustion.
The final piece of our insurance claim for the burglary late last year has arrived - the little digital camera. Oh how convenient the new-for-old Nikon Coolpix S5100 replacement is.

Bit of history, it's our 4th Nikon Coolpix. I lost the first one at Floriade Flower Festival 2008 (so sure i put it in the pram) so bought a replacement. Second one met its fate when our middle girl sat on it, so bought a replacement. My husband found the first camera in the pram in 2010, 2 little cameras for a family of 6, how convenient . . . until camera 3 was stolen. While waiting pending replacement camera 1 hung in there, you had to turn it on & off between each photo but it worked until last week when it was finally dropped by our middle girl & broken open/ lens fully extended. Days later the 4th camera arrived, perfect timing!!
Moral of the story, i can't be trusted with small cameras (nor can burglars, or our middle daughter) & the new one is simply fantastic!! You can charge the battery & download images via a magical cord to your laptop, gorgeous clear images & my fancy Nikon SLR can rest easy in its massive protective bag hidden away from burglars.

. . . pretty paper butterfly garlands . . .
. . . threading cupcake wrappers . . .
. . . keeping the children busy with helpful craft . . .
. . . my husband is home & made brunch . . .
. . . our pumpkin patch is coming along . . .
. . . puppy chasing bees . . .
So i'm playing around with the camera, settings, actions, lighting, zoom & safety . . . my husband has tied the protective case to it & given me a good talking to about camera responsibilities. In the mean time, i hope to bring better shots to my blog & chase that dream snap of all my children together, smiling at the same time while looking very candid, spontaneous, happy & natural, outdoors in perfect light, the kind of photo you blow up to wall size (i said dream!!) . . . enjoy, love Posie
