    These bird pics are outstanding! I especially love that hungry, open beak in the last photo. That black & white shot from the underside of the daisies is spectacular, too! We are going to have so much camera fun together!

    The bird shots are amazing. The b/w daisy photo was very intriguing. it almost looks like an X-ray, very cool shot.

    Oh boy! Dusting and cleaning can wait til tomorrow, for cameras get lonely we've learned to our sorrow...

    Those bird shots ARE amazing! Being able to catch them up close and personal in their OWN surrounding is just too fabulous!

    The daisies are a great shot too!

    You should throw your camera in a ditch more often. Your previous camera was already a great one, but 20x zoom sounds fab. Of course, there is the cost involved.

    Love the monochrome flowers. And the birds close up are wonderful, too. Enjoy.

    A great camera is one thing... but it takes a great photographer to get shots like these!
    I'm so happy for you - and I have to admit, a little envious!

    * Happy for you, hugs*

    I can understand why you were impatiently waiting for your new camera. You two make a great team!
    Amazing shots as always, my favorite one this time is the bird with the ivy!

    I love the black and white photos. Excellent but they all are. I don't know how you do it. That one of the birds (the last one) should be sent to National Geographic :)
