For the last three years I've ...Thanks so much. For the last three years I've been using a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002LITT56/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow"><b>Canon PowerShot G11</b></a> which I love. This is my third Canon PowerShot camera, and they've all been great.<br /><br />If you're a point and shoot kind of person, I definitely recommend them. I am technically challenged and take all of my photos on the AUTO setting. This also makes it easier to quickly capture cute critter moments.<br /><br />Of course that model is already obsolete, as is the next one. The newest version is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B009B0MY6S/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow"><b>Canon PowerShot G15,</b></a> which came out last year and sounds really nice. Apparently it does much better in low light conditions, which is one of the few areas where my G11 is lacking, but then again I only use it on the auto setting.<br /><br />I'm always amazed by the detail I'm able to get zooming in for close ups! :)<br />Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-54978048653370867162013-08-09T13:18:21.586-05:002013-08-09T13:18:21.586-05:00Hi Everybody,

I watched it, fascinated, until it disappeared, wondering where it had come from and where it was going, and I hope it got there safely.

The NY Times wrote an excellent article about them on April 13, 2013 and there are wonderful videos showing the independent movement of their wings when flying. Definitely worth the read. Such mesmerizing creatures.
