As I am still drying behind my ears... I want to thank you all for making me welcome. It is really warm in here -- the kind of place where I get my cup of chai tea and chat for hours.

Diane -- whatever questions you have, shoot them my way. All I have ever owned were Canons, although Nikons are extremely nice cameras. I'll help you with whatever I can.

TVC15 -- I didn't find a name but I see you are from North Carolina -- a place I visit from time to time -- near Wilmington. Thanks for stopping by to say welcome.

Laurel/Pam -- I love magnolias. I never knew there was a laurel variety. My first encounter with magnolias were down south. I can vividly remember how the magnolia scent permeated the nighttime air. They're awsome trees. BTW -- I love your name and I don't think I'm biased either <lol> Thanks for your warm welcome.

I look forward to seeing everyone as I peruse through the forums. Again, thanks.

Pam
