Julia: honey shot?
Alpha: i swear, I was testing the 6x zoom! 😛

We were too busy enjoying the Restaurant Express lunch at Bistro Vue to bother with the BBQ, but we did manage to catch some sun, and photos, just before the astro turf was rolled up and packed up. It’s nice having a camera with a 6x optical zoom, even if it is borrowed.
