Camera Casualty

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Some essential piece of gear would break or be lost or otherwise cease to function. In this case it was the camera... our trusty 4 year old Canon Powershot was claimed by the raging waters of the South Branch of the Carabasset River. Also harmed in the incident were M's MP3 player (this may still work, it's drying out now) and tragically, B. Hippo, who will now be appearing only in 'portrait' mode, as the 'landscape' photo has become quite inky.

Fortunately, neither M nor K were harmed, nor any other gear. Only the camera bag and it's contents fell in. Also fortunate is the fact that we were able to procure a NEW camera, lighter and smaller than it's predecessor, from the good folks at Amazon.com. The photos on the old card were rescued and posted today. There may not be any further photo posts 'til we're done, as I'm not sure how to upload from the new camera yet. Stay tuned!
