Yeah... that type feels really good. My brother gives me that a lot. lol... at least until I got my camera. PM me your flicker and I will pm you mine when I set it up today.

Suzie... the last picture in the first set... the one of the squirrel? It is from about 70 ft away. He was all the way on the other side of the yard and I was in my neighbors front yard. I think 12X zoom and a good pixel rating is a pretty darn good photo.

OH and Bec with the bird feeder... YES it does. But it is millet and it is so easy to pull up that I have found it worth it. These birds were not at my house, they were at my aunts. But they were pretty awesome!

send me yours when you set it up. know, however, that most of mine that are currently up are for family from our recent trip. They aren't about trying to take really good pictures. At this point, I'm holding off on much until I get my new camera sometime around Thanksgiving (Canon Rebel XT plus a macro lens)

Yes I totally understand! I use photobucket for such things, and I will have to adjust my flickr account when I get the chance becuase I have already used up my monthly limit of picture uploads (ggrrrrrrrrrr...) but here is my link too.
Edit to say that honestly I will only upload photos that I love here. Being pg and looking at your comments I was surprised at how emotional it all felt for me. I don't mind other people not liking my pictures, but after what some people said about some of the beautiful pictures you took (and I really do think that they are stunning!) I just don't think that I would handle it well. I have been doing this for less than 4 mos now... and I'm pregnant. lol... really that says a lot. I am not out to take professional photographs... at least not yet. I am out to get some awesome prints on my wall and have a well documented life. The more I learn, the less I tend to like just the doing. I don't want that to happen here. YK?

Rebecca can I have your old camera!
Wow its really good, what is it?
We just had to replace ours (I trod on the old one ). We couldnt go all out on a new one, It has instructions the size of a house, so I havent figured it out yet
A great camera is one of the things I would spend money, on if we had it. Im hoping one day we can invest in a good one.
Val, I always love your pics, Youll have so much fun taking them of your new baby
