We went to Garden of the Gods and took the nature walk. There were rabbits everywhere, and I was determined to take a picture of each and every one. You should have seen all the blurry pictures with tiny dots way off in the distance. What a disappointment! Later on I had "film" in junior high and again in high school. I guess the pictures I took in those classes were better...but not by much.
