Canon RebelT8i might be sufficient…It does most if not all of your requirements. Checkout the specs

Envious and amazed!

Are you sure? Nowadays the dollar won’t buy you a cup of coffee! I think the marble or button are more valuable ! lol…

I have a 23 CX5 PP with most of the goodies except no Turbo. We love it but I was shocked to find my Nav did not include the SD card! It never dawned on me that it was all pre wired and ready to go but no card! $400 that I was unwilling to pay! I felt just like you did!

lol…my sales girl whispered Amazon …which I did for $35 works fine but future updates every couple years will need another card…no problem with that! I also got the new cargo mat for half price that the dealer wanted to sell me. Don’t know why these things are not included when you buy it.

Note: my favorite thing on this new Mazda is the heads-up display in the drivers window. I find it extremely useful on trips and everyday use. Or is it the auto braking cruise control to match speeds , or the lane drift for this old man, backup camera? Heated steering wheel, Nash it’s the heated cooled seats! The 2 memory driver adjustment button! I know it’s the 10 speaker Bose sound system with Sirius radio playing classical Mozart ….I HATE classical concerts! But I love them in this car…it is so quiet inside. I can easily take a nap til the steering wheel vibrates me awake! Well I could if my wife would quit poking and talking to me all the time.

I am totally impressed with the tech and quality of my two Mazdas I have owned in the last 10 years. No issues! Sp pretty as you can see in the pic.

No I do not work for Mazda…I am a Ford man all my life! lol…still driving my 2002 F150. 4x4. And my 94 Mustang

Or using your thumbnail…great fun you had to be fast or it hurt. Always had black powder stains on our thumbs. lol kids.

I want to laugh because you just described me! I do prefer paper by far…I keep my bills for a year in my file cabinet and can refer to them instantly with no password! I then store them for another year then discard them. Seems to work best for me. I love Apple Card Pay on my phone and iPad, it is so easy to do anytime and the records are there instantly…always available a a glance so I am using that more now. No others are as easy or clear to follow as Apple.

Impeccable! Such beauty enriches the soul. Thank you.

Wonderful work! Sure makes me want to go there! Thanks, Walt

That would be so much fun😃💕 I’d love to have those beauties at my house all the day! Congrats on super fine pics!

So bears on the other side huh? Are you talking Grizzlies included? Or just Black bears? Not sure I’d like to attract the Grizzlies to any side of my home! 😳👀😅!! But that is just me…lol. Do you have any bear pics at all to share? I’d like to see some if possible,

Great post, Walt.

Recently I experienced exactly what you described. I went to my window as I often do overlooking a set of feeders to check on what might be visiting and there was a beautiful Bullocks Oriole, male, in full brilliant colors! He had just landed above my grape jelly feeder and the lighting was of an incredible level just before full dark, it really enhanced the fire in his orange and yellow colors changing as he moved about. I thought about using my camera but knew I would miss so much of the show setting it up so I just relaxed and let myself be transfixed by the beauty of it all!

I soaked it in and tried hard to fix all the details in my memory to enjoy in the future and thoroughly enjoyed every second of the encounter. It was very relaxing and profitable to bringing peace and joy to my thoughts. It felt good to slow down and just let it be what it was and become a part of it so to speak.

Here is a pic but not of that encounter…just for reference.

??? Weird wording indeed.

You got that right! Thank you God for answered prayers!

. Good advice here!

I can highly recommend the Canon EF 70-300 zoom lens…that was mentioned above . Super fast focusing and sharp pics in good light. Love it on my Canon T8i…
