And just WHAT was that owl reading when he landed????    Sorry, Michael, I 
couldn't resist!!!!


To Roz:  While I have a very basic Nikon coolpix3200, one thing I found 
about closeups.  If I use the camera at the lens length that occurs when I 
turn it on, I can get super closeups 2-3" away.   I find it suits all my 
needs for butterflies, bugs, etc.  If I hold the camera back from my subject 
and try to zoom in with my lens, I cannot focus.
