For Christmas, I got a small Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS (not on the BP list) to replace the aging Sony Cybershot I keep in my purse or take on walks. I used it to take this close-up of a leftover leaf near our deck. Glad I did - we have 3 or 4 inches of white stuff covering everything this morning! Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone!
Exif: F Number: 3.4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 125, FocalLength: 6.30 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS
