New toys can completely occupy an afternoon.

These are My Brock’s eyes.

This is the Space Needle from the boat…WITHOUT A TRIPOD! Not perfect, but a good bit better than I could have achieved with the old camera.

Brock wanted to play with ghost pictures. Although the Lumix really is just a point-and-shoot (no ability to adjust aperture, exposure, etc.), it has some fun modes that will allow me to accomplish most of what I want to do. Yay!
