the water fall by our garden

This is some thoughts about a creek and about what camera to buy…

We have a small creek running right by our house. During wintertime it has been a really small one, but now when spring is finally here the creek is grown bigger and the water runs powerfully .

With the snow leaving and all, MT has finally discovered the creek for real.

During the wintertime (and it has been wintertime almost all the time we have lived in this house; we came here in the middle of October and winter came in the middle of November) - he’s been told to stay away from the creek, he has more or less done that and he hasn’t been to keen on getting to know the creek any better. But now, when the snow’s almost gone (and with it all the fun things to do in and with it) he has discovered that he has a fantastic water fall just a few meters from our garden (it’s not that big, but he’s easily amused when it comes to water) - and now he wants to be outside and a “Mummy, please, can you follow me up there to the water fall?” is not a strange thing to hear. And off course I’ll go with him, at least when I can (the outside air is good to me as well…), I don’t want him to get any ideas and run up there all by him self either! And off course, it gives me several good photo opportunities as well

Speaking of photos; these above are all cell phone ones. Why? Because my digital camera decided to have a zoom error that I can’t fix. It’s been driving me crazy the last few days; I miss bringing the camera with me and I miss taking photos that turn out a bit better than (most) of the ones taken with my phone. Today I’ve been searching for replacement, my current camera is a Fuji FinePix so that’s what I’m thinking for the next as well. So far I’ve decided against the black FinePix S5700 because it doesn’t come with a rechargeable battery and the green FinePix Z10fd because I can’t afford to pay for design cameras (even though I would love a green one!). Right now the silver Finepix F40d is my favorite.
