Photo of the Quarter

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we learned one thing about our Grandson Alex; He sure does love cameras. Once, he got fussy in the car so we gave him a camera to play with and he was instantly happy. When he visits Grandma and Grandpa, we still have a stash of old Canon film cameras we will cut him loose with.

Camera – Canon XSi with 18-55mm lens and pop-up flash.
