    Kenneth,
    That was just the tip of it. It would have been nicer if I could get it hitting the ground. Next time…

    lucia,
    Thanks.

    icemessenger,
    Thank you.

    CLF,
    I used the manual mode with auto exposure. The Nikon CP3100 is pretty much an automatic point and shoot camera with very limited function. I simply clicked away and hoped I caught one which I did.

    Willwolf,
    Those photos were taken with an obsolete digicam. Yeah, I would like to shoot with a dSLR too.

    Marita,
    Thanks.

    Andy,
    The rain is a welcome relief to the current hot spell.
