Great photos! I had an idea (it happens occasionally). It's hard to tell how much room there is between the tree in that last photo and the bed up against the house, but I think a little private cove there with a bench, or seating area, would be really cool. Maybe extend the bed that's along the sidewalk, and place some stepping stones in the strip of grass that would be between the two beds, as a path to the little bench area. Your garden is lovely the way it is though. Bonnie

Thanks crunchpa, I thought so, too. I know it's not going to do the job as one of the more expensive cameras twice the price. My bird feeder is only about 15 yards from my kitchen window and my little Kodak 3X zoom lens doesn't take a clear picture. If I could get within, say 5 feet of the feeder, it would take a great picture. But there's no way to get that close to birds without scaring them off. I'm wondering if this Canon camera is worth buying.

Wow, it looks like I have some thinking to do. I don't have a smartphone and not sure that I want one, but I do really like Ann's pics. Yesterday, I was looking in the direction of maybe a Canon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS, but was talking to a friend last night and she said that her iPad takes pretty good pics and I have been thinking about getting an iPad. Maybe I'll explore that first...I don't know, gotta think about it. Thanks for pointing out the Gallery...I don't think about that and Conversations much because many years ago there wasn't a lot of activity there, but I see that has changed. And, you are absolutely correct about Sharon's tips...I looked at a few of them and know they will help me. Again, thanks to everyone for your help and I promise some day you will see a food pic from me...it may only be a mouth watering ear of sweet corn or BLT (my current diet), but you'll see something someday.

If it's the Canon Powershot A610, it's been tested through 2 GB. (see below). JoanMN/FL Here is a link that might be useful: Steves review
