My big announcement!

I am giddy like a school girl.

I spent most of my day with my nose pressed firmly against the window awaiting the tell tale vroom of the UPS truck.

I saw him drive past and my heart just sank!!

I went ahead and ran downstairs anyway, unless he had a change of heart.

I even went so far as to put the Shelbster in the backyard because she was already barking having caught on to the excited energy I was projecting with just hope!!

Dog out, door bell rings!!

You know the UPS guys must love people like me who open their door jumping up and down, thrilled to take a package out of their hands. I tried to keep the squealing to a minimum as I signed the nice brown electronic pad he presented me!!

And just what did he deliver me???

A NEW (to me) Canon 50D!!!!

Here let me show you!

I know, not a great picture...forgive me I am caught up in the excitement of it all.

People who don't really get camera's or understand the jargon are just not going to be able to appreciate the hugeness of this change for me.

I did find this website which does a straight up comparison of the Rebel XS to the 50D.

It basically gives me double the capability!

I tried to take some comparison shots to give you a feeling of the change, but don't think I succeeded very well.
Again...rushing with the arrival of suppertime quickly approaching!
I will try to do better tomorrow.
All of these images are SOOC.
All of the spider webs, well they belong to me as well.

The color is truer, the detail finer, the light sparklier, the love stronger.

I am in enamored!!!

So, that is my big news!
I wish I could have taken time to share in a more precise way but...

(rubbing hands together) looking forward to tomorrow!!!
