Hello from the Ozarks

Hello everyone:
My name is Phil, I am retired and live on my small farm in the Ozarks. I raise bottle calves from the milk from my Jersey milk cow for a little extra money.
Years ago I did some amateur photography and enjoyed it, so I thought I would start again for taking pictures of my grandkids, dogs, and various critters that inhabit my place.
I just purchased a Canon PowerShot S5 IS, and am I lost! This is a far cry from my Minolta SRT 102. I am hoping that I will live long enough to learn to use this new camera.
I ran across your site, and besides being totally humbled by what I saw and read, I am captivated by your knowledge, art, and craftsmanship. I fear that I wont have much to contribute, but will treasure the wisdom and knowledge I find on this site.
Thank you to all of you for your comments, humor, and sense of community.

I have found that you don't have to go far from home to get great photos. Just open you eyes. Kids will do the rest for you.

Very true. When the grand-kids come out after some of grandma's cookies, cake, pie or whatever I have many opportunities to get my "wildlife" photos.
I don't have to go more than 100 feet to see my cattle, the dogs, wild deer, wild turkeys, racoons and many other "visitors" that pass by on occasion.
I have had my "new to me" Canon S5 for three days now and am learning that it is just a camara and by experimenting and trying new things it won't break.
