I have a new toy ;-)

My SIL is going overseas for a year and I get to look after her pride and joy while she is away ;-)

I don't normally drink a lot of coffee - maybe one in the morning ................ but today I have had three ;-)

here are a few of my attempts to photograph the moon - not bad considering it is a 'point & shoot' Canon

I discovered when looking at these pics that I have 'hot pixels' so it is definitely time to replace the camera.
