Claret Cup Cactus

Haven't been posting for awhile---as my Mom would say, "When it rains, it pours".

 

I'm waiting for a new camera (Canon EOS 7D Mark II) to arrive this week and while I'm excited about it, I do miss my old Canon, my old buddy, my old friend.

 

Additionally, my 8-year-old Mac is at the end of its life and is not cooperating much anymore.

 

And I fell again.

 

All overshadowed by the fact that I have a new granddaughter!!!

Life goes on.
