all shot with my "new" S2 IS, an easy grab on the way to the barn......i just bought it to supplement my rebel XT, on those times when you just want to grab a small camera and run. i had one before and sold it, but liked it so much i got another one......one can never have too many cameras, right?

Wonderful series.. those baby ducks are so precious!

I'm with you on having a camera on the way to the barn.. I'm always finding photo ops out there when I DON'T have the camera with me!!
