Hobbies
One of the reasons I've stuck with smaller cameras instead of going DSLR is that I've felt that the really interesting pictures are more a result of opportunity than hardware - and having a camera always on hand has more value than the extremes of shooting range.
This shot demonstrates that :-) This juvenile hawk was under an evergreen bush on my front sidewalk; I was eating breakfast and saw a pair of cardinals come screaming out of a bush, saw some movement below, and realized suddenly "that's not a squirrel..."
(I am looking forward to the actual return of spring, but the birds in my yard seem convinced that it's already here :-)

Picture taking again!
So the Nikon Coolpix S4 is a little big, but I found an OK belt pouch for it and it serves my shooting needs, as well as adding some features that I like and will probably start using soon. The 10x zoom is a win, the outdoor shots have been crisp and colorful, the larger screen makes review and framing somewhat easier.
But that's just hobby details - aren't these really cool lilacs? Advertised as "striped", but note that some of the blossoms are full-white. (They smell nice too, but they're lilacs - that's their job :-)

Yay spring!
It's *really* spring when I don't need a jacket to drive comfortably with the top down. Of course, the crocuses are only just coming out so we're probably due for one more snow storm (they just missed the last one.)
Still working on the details of planning a cross-country road trip while trying to get a release out the door and still having a trip to Stockholm over the summer.
Most interesting recent license plate: TIME4T, seen on RT 2 in Concord.
Current Music: REM - "Sleep Delays My Life"
