It's almost December, but the Central Valley is showing some fall color. The streets of our town are lined with trees wearing red and gold leaves. Considering Christmas is less than a month away, we are finally getting some autumn color. If you remember, I took pictures of the fall colors in the Rocky Mountains...there fall comes early. Not so in the valley.
The colors were a good excuse to take pictures using my new camera. Since my Canon G9 was stolen, I've been looking for a possible replacement. I considered a DSLR camera, but when I looked at their size, I decided once again, they are just too big for me. Next I looked at the compact point and shoot cameras. The Canon S90 was tempting but it lacked a viewfinder. I also looked at the updated version of the camera I had, which is a G11. I read reviews at Amazon.com, Best Buy and Canon trying to figure out what would be best for me. After a whole week of thought (that is a long time for me) I decided on the Canon G11. It's a point and shoot camera, but it has the same exact settings as the Canon EOS DSLR. In fact, Canon calls the G-line of cameras their "first professional" cameras. I'm not a professional, but I do like to take pretty pictures.
So today I took pictures with my new camera. I played with different settings and came up with some pretty shots. Take a look and tell me what you think?

Wonderful pictures. You have always had a good eye when taking pictures, but that new Canon appears to make them even more impressive.
