All the photos you've seen here since mid-September have been taken with the replacement camera, which was an excellent Nikon of some sort. Today, however, I picked up my own camera again (Canon EOS450D). And I was then able to transfer to the computer all the pictures that I thought I'd lost when it died (apparently, that is). My favourite was the last one recorded; the above shot of my niece Thea at a playground in Hyde Park late a September afternoon... She's 6 and started school this year; all very exciting.
So; now I have my own camera, and this weekend my dad is coming down. He and I are going on a little bit of a road trip, just the two of us. Expect more blog updates some time next week, if all goes well :-D
