Got a new camera today - an Olympus Stylus 770 SW. It has 7.1 mega pixels, waterproof to 33 feet and shockproof up to 5 feet. I leave on a cruise with Bonne in a week and a half then we will be in Maui in November - I thought it would be fun to actually photograph what I was seeing while snorkeling. This camera got good reviews on photo quality - so my good friend Mr. Amazon sent me one.
I decided that since it was raining and Bob was already wet, he wouldn't mind being dunked head first into my tub so I could photograph something. I had asked Ryan to do the exact same thing and he said no. Bob was reluctant at first. Today was the first time I went in the back yard and couldn't find him. Put 'mind reader' on the list of things Bob can do. I finally found him hiding behind the shed. He seems happy enough, don't you think?

Hopefully, when I am in the water, I will be able to work out the half in / half out photo - I think they are cool. I can't seem to get rid of the blurry strip:
It takes pretty good photos out of the water also. This is my test shot. Basically because I can take the photo while sitting at my desk. The camera has a wider angle lens than my SLR - it cannot fit all this in to one photo:
All in all, I have had a pretty good 'wet' day. Bob is still in my tub, I told him he could swim for a while before putting him back outside. It looks like he may not know how:
