My first camera was an old box brownie I used a few times when I was six years old. I opened the back of the camera to see the pictures and was puzzled to find the blank film. I would have felt much better with a digital camera! I had a new camera when I was nine and have two albums of charming black and white photos of people and pets. My cameras became more sophisticated as I grew, exploring the full range, but now I am having lots of fun with a Canon Powershot with a big zoom lens. It is quick and easy to use, light enough for me, and great for bird and animal photography. I love macros too, and so far I have not been disappointed. Heartfelt images is my photo blog, so I can share my creativity and love of the natural world with you!
heartfelt images 
thank you for sharing your world, Christine!

thank you so much catbird, i am really honored and touched by your nomination 😀 …. I am not much good at responding to awards so will just keep it to myself for now with a big smile!
That’s fine Christine. Sometimes these awards require a lot of work!!
Interesting to read about where your love of photography sprang from, Christine. 😉
I feel I have been missing out because I didn’t know you were here! I have some serious catching up to do 🙂
And yet, I have been here before i recognise lots of photos! I’m obviously more confused than I know but I’ll be back to pass some time later.
Thank you for dropping by my blog. I think we share a similar passion in photography I also love my Cannon powershot. I look forward to following your posts
