A new camera

Before I left on my trip to Calgary and Cranbrook this summer Jim decided he needed a new camera. Jim always enjoyed taking pictures and slides with his Nikon camera when film was still used. Once the change to digital occurred we bought a little point and shoot digital camera and just took touristy pictures when we traveled. Recently I was told that most of the old Nikon lenses that he had in his camera bag would still fit on the new digital Nikon cameras. So after much research - in true "Jim Style" he decided to buy a new Nikon D90. And I got to take it on holiday and play around with it.



It has a ton of cool features that I discovered while playing around with it taking pictures of the babies in Calgary.  I took lots of pictures and deleted lots of pictures!

Once I got to Cranbrook I did not take as many pictures but I did manage to take a few around the old family property.



Cranbrook has quite the deer problem and these are a couple of pictures of the deer right in my parents back yard.  There is a You tube video floating around out there of a deer in Cranbrook that had just given birth  and then attacked a dog that the doe thought was getting a little too close for comfort.  There are just hundreds of deer wandering the streets of Cranbrook -- every year I go there it seems there are more and more deer around.




This is a picture of the old barn out the back.  It was lovely and green this year and not too hot - which was nice.  Some summers I go there it is well in the 30's and just too darn  hot for me. 





Not super technical pictures but I am certainly enjoying the new camera.  Maybe now I will blog a bit more!!!
