Mele Kalikimaka Monday

Yesterday was my daughter's annual grand holiday hula extravaganza. What a spectacle! Although I have to admit, as I am making these costumes I am often swearing I'll never do it again (yes, all moms must make the costumes for their kids and it's been almost 3 years for me now) when I see the girls all dolled up in their Hawaiian best I change my tune and am reminded that it's worth every stitch.

Not a bad shot for a point and shoot camera huh? My Digital Canon Rebel is on the blink (not good) and I must say, I actually felt a tad bit liberated to only have a tiny camera to deal with. It just reminds me that although it's super fun to have a fancy camera, it can be just a nice sometimes to use a trusty point and shoot. And, for the record (and as a testament to my fine little HP number) this is posted straight from the camera. No edit at all. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Did your Best Shot Monday get you in the holiday spirit?

I like the angle of the shot and the reds and greens. I have a BSM but I also have a chance for your readers (& mine) to win one of those little HP cameras, so be sure to check both my links!!!!

Cheap and easy. And by that I mean my best shots with my brand-new ten-buck camera.

That is a beautiful composition, if only I could control my point and shoot like that! Even with a superhero for the subject matter - I couldn't get the NOISE out.
