Thanks Bob. Yup, as I enter my "Santa Claus" phase of life, I seem to be relating to small children far more than ever before

. Actually, Serenity is a wonderful little girl and she's a joy to photograph. She just needed to get comfortable with the situation. After that, she was hell on wheels.
BTW, my local lens rental company just got in one of the first 50D's and I'm thinking of taking it for a 10-day, whirlwind trip to Michigan, Ohio and points in between in a week. If I do, I'll share some shots, especially some high-ISO stuff indoors, under stadium lighting at the Quarter Horse Congress in Ohio. Stay tuned.
