Time for my pot plants to wake up from their winter sleep…

…and some porcelain birds as well.

So, I shot these with my new ”dog walking” camera – a Panasonic Lumix TZ70. My old Canon suddenly got a white spot inside the lens, (I could see it clearly, and the photos got a big blur in the upper left corner ) and there was nothing to do about it as it is a compact camera.

I never had a Panasonic before, but this one got high grades in photo magazines and was listed number one of neat compacts this year. My criteria were: ability to use one hand only (dog leash in the other), good in low light, long zoom lens and still pocketable. This Lumix feels good, but is not as good in low light as the Canon was. A plus point is that I love the design …
