Went to Paris and bought a new Camera.

Where are we today ?
Plattsville Ontario

        Another wonderful day in Southern Ontario so first thing this morning headed out for a drive, down thru tobacco country. South thru Harley, Burford, Scotland, Ayr, and then Paris. All within a couple hours. Amazing the places that you can travel to in southern Ontario. And on the way home thru Washington Ontario as well.

Downtown Paris

         Got some shopping done and back home in time for lunch. Then Suzie set to work on Le's two dogs. Molly the mom an easy brush, but then there is Buddy (two years old) with a lot more hair, Suzie and Lea set to work cleaning him up.

        While sitting here we hear a helicopter overhead and sure enough right behind us he is crop dusting with this chopper. Apparently much quicker and more efficient than an airplane.

        Now to my new camera. I like an compact easy point and fits in my pocket and takes beating. Last one we bought in Mazatlan Mexico three and 1/2 years ago. Having mechanical issues with it so time for a new one. New technology now this old one has taken close to 30,000 pictures it has done its job. Below is a few pics I took of it.

yep it is tired

        Now below is my choice for a new one by Panasonic a Lumix DMC-TS20. Small compact under $200.00 and almost indestructible. Shock proof from a 5 foot drop, waterproof to 15 feet and dustproof as well. 4x optical zoom, 16 megapixals, it does movies, action shots and lotsa bells and whistles.  A good rechargeable battery and takes an sd  memory card. Exactly what I need.

        The settings that I have it at are for 5 mega pixals, good enough for the majority of the hundreds of pictures I take every day. Its always in my pocket and ready to go.

        After an grocery tun we sat on Lea's deck and Suzie got more of her dog fix working mostly on Buddy with his long fine hair.

        After a nice happy hour with our hosts we fired up our Weber for som baked potatoes, grilled pork chops and peas for a very tasty supper. Lea headed out to play ball in a tournament in Woodstock and John  took Jamie to play ball in Kitchener.

        We just relaxed a bit, read and compute then call it a night, let the tv watch us.
       The next few days we will be busy with our kids and grandchildren camping out here, so need to rest up a bit.
        Thanks once again for the read.
