Guys I have splashed out - I am not ashamed - I am pleased that ive been a consumer. The guy in the shop even said "I wish everyone was as easy as you". Yes I have been a true consumer - and I am proud of it in a funny kind of way.

I have purchased a Canon EOS 400D.

And the results?
Here they are.

Big Pics and they are reduced aswell. I have succomed to pics and consumerism. (Well for today anyway).

Your son is looking great. Real happy. I guess that comes from a good family. Dad, you and Momma are doing a great job. Proud to know you folks. Great site also. Ditto.

It takes a very good digital camera to capture the droplets of water in the air with clarity like that. Your son looks like he's having a great time. Haha

Your photos are GREAT! National Geogrphic-level! It seems like I could just reah out and touch the feathers and feel the cool spray of water.

The little fellow is so cute. The way you set up the pix, it almost looks like the waterfall is about to splatter all over him. Gosh, he's cute!

Thanks for sharing such delightful photos.

And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

Well, Mark, It's been a pleasure to have you as a moderator, but looking at your nature pics you'll probably soon become a professional Discovery photographer.

The picture with your son in bath is also beautiful, it seems you really are able to catch the moment with that camera.

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

They are so real, almost like you could touch them. You have a great looking son. Terry
