Turtles, Aurora, and My New Camera
May 24, 2009
For the last three and a half years I have been carrying around my Canon G6, but now in anticipation of my summer travel to Egypt I have updated my camera to the G10. So far I love it. This new camera takes photos at 14.7 megapixels, while my old camera was "only" 7.1 megapixels. That's not a bad update after only a little over three years. I am hoping that this new camera will let me start posting photos of everyday life.. which is something I once did more often (here and here).
Today we took Aurora to the Bubolz Nature Preserve just outside Appleton. I had anticipated walking on the trails and pointing out birds to Aurora, but I did not count on the turtle sighting and her unwillingness to move too far past the pond and its rickety wooden piers. We saw two turtles swimming near the pier.. and others sunning themselves on fallen branches.
OK, OK. I know the main exhibit in a post like this will be Aurora. Here she is standing next to one of two overturned boats near the turtle pond. She needed to climb on them and try to pull them.. and knock on them to find out if anyone is inside.
