My thanks to Colin Evans of the TRU 2 LIFE Camera Club for his help and encouragement
I usually carry a compact camera with me when I am out "just in case"
Usually a Panasonic Lumix TZ20
I also use a Panasonic Lumix DMC FX38
My New Nikon D90 camera obtained 1st November 2021 photographs taken with it will appear here soon.
