Slept in....just before work, tried to digi with the kodak....without a zoom feature, of course, it portholes...kinda hoped it wouldn't, but I'll take some porthole clips with it, and see if I can crop in....real reason I got it, it has a remote shutter, or will, when they're in stock, and with that, I can set it up and move back..or even put it under water--maybe Trout will come by!...anyway, a new toy in the box....sunnyhazy, at lunch, clouded over and cool...at Lunch: paddled out to Ozone Beach, and friend was there on bicycle. and a talkabout for the time, and no pics, save for a few of a Little Bird hard to identify--pics too dim and backlit....pics of Tanagers up are from yesterday...
