My New Best Friend

I got myself a new DSLR! A Canon 350D to be precise. It's exhilarating learning a new skill, especially one where you can make mistakes over and over again with no real impact on anyone (I'm in the "business" of healthcare - mistakes can be deadly, literally). It's a wonderful diversion from work. I see my environment in "frames" now; how it should be composed, what is the best angle. However, the flowers in my garden have wilted! Will post some photos here when I manage to get some decent shots with my new "best friend".
