My New Camera

I recently purchased a camera exactly like my wife, Marian's, at a pawn shop for $80 bucks.  It is a FUJIFILM, Fine pix S1000, 10.0 Mega Pixels with 12x optical zoom.  She purchased hers at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago.  I have been wanting a camera like hers and just could not pass up this opportunity when I saw it.  I can now take pictures while sitting on my deer stand or whatever I want.  It has opened a whole new world for me and I am enjoying it.  Here are a few shots that I took recently. 

Our cat, Allie!

Marian, took a picture of me...

...and I took a picture of her.

Bloom Fountain with the historical Old Court House Museum in background that stood during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863.

In tonight's paper was a picture of this showing the ice slowly melting from the Greek goddess Hebe's feet as temperature began a slow march from the weekend low of the 20s.  Bloom Fountain on Monroe Street was built in 1927 after Vicksburg resident Louis Bloom willed money to the City of Vicksburg.

My Allie Cat

Our next door neighbor,Tricia, moved away and gave us one of her cats because she could not take the cat with her to her new apartment.  So my wife, Marian and I took her in.  Allie is three years old and has settled in with us and our peek-a-poo dog, Katie, in the past eight months.  Yesterday, was a really balmy day and we decided to sit outside and enjoy the day.  Allie was on the patio table joining us and checking things out.  Here are a few pictures that Marian took of me with Allie.  She also sleeps with me and gets in my lap when I'm watching TV.  She is my lap cat and I love it!

My Friend Rooster

After we left our friends in Water Valley, we went to visit and stayed overnight with some more friends in Van Vleet near Okolona, MS.  Marian took this picture of us in front of their home Monday morning.  (Read all about our visit on Marian's site)

 

Rooster made Marian and I a turkey caller and he's adjusting it.

Turkey caller Rooster made for us.  He just sprayed lacquer on it to finish it out and letting it dry.  It sounds great!
