Welcome Joanne

First read up on how to use your camera then go and try it out. When you have a question, there are many here to help out. I'm mostly a Nikon user so I cannot give camera use advice for your model but general use, we all can guide you along. Remember there is lots of learning videos on YouTube to help you along too. Finding a local buddy photographer may also help you along. Look for your community blog online and under photography you'll probably find many who share your interests. They can also steer you to local events or parks that may be new things to photograph. Welcome to the world of photography, your journey has begun.
