a month in pictures

About a month ago I got a new camera. I researched cameras for quite some time and finally went with the Canon Powershot SD850 IS. I got it because I have taken an interest in photography and would like to become better at taking pictures, but I wasn't quite ready to take the plunge into getting a DSLR quite yet. This one suits me just fine so far. Its got a lot of fun bells and whistles I've been trying out. I'm not very good yet, but it takes some decent pictures. Check it...

Have you ever heard about how when an orb appears in a picture, it is actually a ghost/spirit? I wonder if that's true. If so...creepy. (this is Gina & Todd's tree)
