Good luck with quitting smoking - we're all here for you. As to the camera addiction, I understand. I'm getting ready to buy another camera, this time a point and shoot (hoping that the smaller size will make it easier for me to take to more places). Sometimes when I'm having a stressful day, just the THOUGHT of going out with my camera helps to calm me down. Bring on spring, bring on the pictures!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770651210715066081.post-83146922293992698022009-03-05T18:09:00.000-05:002009-03-05T18:09:00.000-05:00I hear you on that one..I always have a camera wit...I hear you on that one..I always have a camera with me now..you are getting some great photos too...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770651210715066081.post-73960101419791679822009-03-05T13:48:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:48:00.000-05:00What a great idea, get a healthy addiction!

It made the dreaded chore of shopping more bearable. ;o)<BR/><BR/>Leedra, I hope you get some of that sunshine today for your photos. It is amazing how much better pictures come out in the sun.<BR/><BR/>Madco, I am guessing I will get that sunshine back in the morning in a month or so. I am going to stalk the falcons today in between projects at work. I want full bodied closeups this week so bad! HA<BR/><BR/>Chris, I never thought of that. Perhaps those were robins headed up north and used the parking lot as a place to roost for the night. It was crazy because more and more of them would just keep coming.

Especially if there are crab apple trees. HA!<BR/><BR/>Yup Betsy, that's the way I look at it to. The camera gadgets help keep my hands busy too and when you quit smoking you need to do someting with your hands. Was thinking of taking up knitting too but not as patient as Ruthie. ;o)<BR/><BR/>Kelly, right the minute I posted my post I went to comment on your blog and was so happy to see a robin post. I do thing these are the spring migrating robins, seriously I do.<BR/><BR/>Cam, the biggest reason why I am quitting is the cost. I want to have more of my money, not throw it away for my own early death. It is a FujiFilm Finepix S2000HD. Kind of kicking myself now for not buying a Cannon as they have lenses that are easier to find than for Fuji. It takes pretty good photos so it will do for now.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539583838978744802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770651210715066081.post-77913562691546232562009-03-04T22:04:00.000-05:002009-03-04T22:04:00.000-05:00With cigarettes being so expensive, as I've heard ...With cigarettes being so expensive, as I've heard (non-smoker), you can buy more bird food and make even more birds happy :) What kind of camera do you have?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770651210715066081.post-32599631372566039872009-03-04T21:39:00.000-05:002009-03-04T21:39:00.000-05:00...cute titmouse and finch...morning sun is always......cute titmouse and finch...morning sun is always so nice! 200 robins must have been a sight to see.
