Why?

I've always loved taking pictures.  This goes back to the old days when we had film and boy was that an expensive hobby.  The camera of choice back then was a Canon AE-1. 

With the digital age and various free photo editing website such as Picassa, the desire to take and show "professional" quality pictures resurfaced last summer while I was recovering from my heart attack.  Those pictures were taken with a Canon Powershot A540.  I thought the pictures were pretty decent for such a point and shoot camera!  Boy was I wrong!

A fellow CIer who loves to take pictures of God's creations inspired me with some of the most beautifully taken pictures.  From this, came the idea to do the same thing.....
