A few weeks ago, I got tangled up with the Pacific Ocean and got my camera wet. We sent the camera and lens to Canon, with a faint bit of hope that it could be repaired. Not. It was sent back to us with a note that it was beyond repair, and we (Jim) tossed it into the dumpster. Yikes! I was determined to live without it, but after much consternation, I gave in and ordered a new one.
This time I got a Canon Rebel Xsi with 12mp. It’s very similar to the one I had (Rebel Xti). I also ordered (gulp) the 18 – 200mm image stabilized lens, just like the one I had. I have a feeling I will be much more careful about where I step from now on!
I went out at sunrise this morning, which is pretty easy to do as far as the time, since it doesn’t even think about coming up until after 7 these days. The trick is having a sunrise here in Oregon! But today was perfect, so I’m sharing a shot of the sunrise over Devils Lake, just across the street from our rv park:
Today we are going to drive down the coast, visit some lighthouses and see what there is to photograph. Stay tuned, more pictures to come!

I like your new look. Sorry to learn your camera was not fixable. Sounds like this new one is going to be a good one. Looking forward to more photos.
Love the new look. Bummer about the camera.
Nice photos! How do you like your Phaeton? We have a Allegro Bus and and enjoying it. Have you been to the factory. We have a Dec 3 appointment and not sure what all to expect.
So sorry to hear about your mishap with the camera and the ocean... BUT you captures a great picture with your new camera... LOVED it!
Have a great day looking for lighthouses...

Great Picture...wish I had been there to take one just like it.
Miss you guys.
I wondered how long it would be till you broke down and got a new camera. You lasted much longer than I did, mine got soaked last summer, when Blue bucked me off me in river.

Beautiful sunrise pictures. Too bad about the camera. I hate when that happens.
Wonderful pictures. Enjoy looking at your travels.
