A little retail therapy always helps too...picked up a new point and shoot. Canon SD1400 IS. It's very much like my old one, only slightly smaller, more pixels, better low light performance, and HD video. Here's me seeing if it will recognize a smile. Apparently, this is a smile.
Remember ... 10 cameras isn't enough!

We didn't carve our pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns this year for Halloween. Our squirrels took this as an unprecedented opportunity and gnawed their own hole in order to nab the seeds inside. The pumpkin is on our stonewall, opposite the kitchen window. November 11, 2020

I bought this Nikon Coolpix 5600 way back in 2005 specifically for carrying in my back pocket. I haven't used it in years.
It still works well and just for fun might use it for some of my 365 photos after blowing off the dust.

It's difficult for me to pick my favorite smallest thing, since I've always loved small things I could carry with me in my pocket...especially dime-store toys.
I figure if I can carry it in my pocket, I can have it with me when I want it.

When coming from the north, the last exit before crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is the Marin Headlands, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. So close to the San Fransisco metropolis and yet so wild! May 6, 2016
