That is in the lens and if I want extra lenses they will be more expensive because I need them to have a built in motor. None of this bothers me. I've borrowed a big lens on occasions because I would love to be able to take great reference photos of birds. However, I also know I get sick of carrying around a big lens so I probably shouldn't waste the money.<br /><br />Both the D5000 and D90 look great - if I were buying now I'd probably be tempted by new technology. I usually am ;)Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082946.post-27380970476913347212009-08-14T20:14:28.427+02:002009-08-14T20:14:28.427+02:00this is a great idea...lookes like Mr Livingston&#...this is a great idea...lookes like Mr Livingston's adeventures...next thing will be to start writing some books on all the adventures come across on these routes, of which there are many - I remmeber some tree clinbing...<br />ronellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082946.post-89176917216547200872009-08-14T09:30:21.804+02:002009-08-14T09:30:21.804+02:00Brilliant....I am so jealous at least you can make...Brilliant....I am so jealous at least you can make your won google map...I can't figure it out...but I am good with reading maps when we are taking a trip...:-) JilMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082946.post-41308364374028707952009-08-14T09:22:16.144+02:002009-08-14T09:22:16.144+02:00moreidlethoughts - be that as it may, while the su...moreidlethoughts - be that as it may, while the subjunctive is virtually extinct in English, it's very much alive in Italian. <i>Se avessi avuto i mezzi per insegnare alla Robyn il congiuntivo, sarei stato un cane contento</i>.<br /><br />Dana - my simple aim is to lift the tone of her posts.

On top of that you are a great plein air artist/sketcher and walker. What talent.! I only manage down to the river (5 mins), the local mill pool (15 mins) and the village centre 5 mins and oh yes, the allotment at the end of my lane. I don't seem to have time for more and do most of my artwork in my little study/studio.Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082946.post-28590278868828559462009-08-13T04:37:22.134+02:002009-08-13T04:37:22.134+02:00Robyn, this is a very clever idea.

Your long walk looks...um...long! :D My exercise takes a big enough part of my day without stopping to sketch while I'm out.
