That one was turning yellow for some reason. Maybe a deer peed on it. There was a whole bunch of them growing down there. I sometimes see kids heading down to those woods, and after I saw these plants, I started wondering if that was the reason why they were going down there. :-\

Most of my pictures are taken with my Canon Powershot G9. I was happy to hear you also own a G9. Don't you LOVE that camera? Talk about a camera LOADED with features. Our G9s have just about everything, don't they? I only wished it had the infra-red night vision like my Sony F717. I've actually used my Sony to find my way around in the dark when the power goes out! lol
I also have a Canon A70, I bought several years ago. I was looking for a small camera I could carry around in my pocket. It is only a 3.2 mp camera, a far cry from the G9 which has 12.1 mp. I have four film cameras - a Kodak APS, a Canon Rebel SLR, and two medium format cameras which I used when I was a freelance photographer a few years back. I'm thinking about selling my Hasselblad because I don't use it too much anymore.
Anyway, I use my Canon G9 most of the time now. I love it. It's a fun camera to use and it's easy to carry around. I hate the neck strap though. I took it off, and I'm currently looking for a wrist strap that will fit it. The camera is much too small for a neck strap and it gets in the way when I'm shooting pictures, so I removed it and I don't use it anymore.

I'm glad we both have Canon G9s cause now I can ask you lots of questions. One thing I want to ask you about which would concern most all cameras. Is there a certain brand of memory card you would recommend?

Well, it depends on what format you are using. The G9 accepts several different types of cards. I have a Sandisk 2 gb SD card in mine. It can hold lots of pictures - 377 12 mp, 567 8 mp, 773 5 mp, 1876 2 mp, and 6880 0.3 mp. It can even store 115 pictures in the Raw setting. I've found the camera's battery will run out before the card does! :D

Sandisk is typically the card I look for although I haven't quite figured out the difference between Sandisk and Sandisk Ultra. I think that is what they call it.
I have found that the battery runs out on all my cameras before the card does. I remember that I took my first Canon Digital Elph S110 on my first trip to NYC. This was a driving trip too and the main part of it was a conference at Princeton. Incidentally Princeton has beautiful buildings......everything is like a castle. Anyway, I was taking picture after picture there and in NYC. Luckily I had two batteries so I would end up going through both of them and had to recharge them every night. In NYC I was literally going through the streets snapping pictures of the buildings while moving and was unsure what I would get. I was with a group so they would not stop each time I wanted to take a picture (another thing I hate about travelling with a group). Many of those pictures came out GREAT!!! NYC has such great architecture it is hard to go wrong with various shots.
