I was travelling in Florida recently and took my daughter on one of the "family" (!!) photo excursions. We've been naming birds and other mammals. She is interested but sometimes she needs some height to see things.
Thank you EVERYBODY for all the comments. I have never been a member of a forum where I have met so many nice people in such a short period of time. I was telling my friend at work today about this fact and the friendliness of this forum.
My daughter carries one of the coolpixes we have around and regularly take pictures. It makes me remember my childhood and my first camera which was a Kodak 110 film camera at age 14.
