I really like my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30. It is an older model, but the newer ones are even better. Lieca lens and very good image stabilization so you almost never need a flash.  The Centerfold

  A nice shot of a Newt in the Marin Headlands.

Hai!  I can haz lembic bass?

My bass turned me into a newt!
 
(...i got better)
 
 

There's a $50 toll for crossing this bridge.  Cash please.

just back from checking the garden

But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.

That newt should be adapted into a fingerboard inlay - he's so cute!

And now for something completely different:  A man with a stoat through his head.

Wow, and I thought I was going off thread. Things can move pretty fast round here for us country folk. I love mica's idea. Maybe... if I can come up with an extra 10 or 12k. I think I might have an addiction. Mario, I think we should start our own thread.

Wow, Mathew, great photos.  
Loved the newt, seems capable of fingering some big intervals with those little hands.
 
*(just to not say again I consider this mahogany dark bass one of the finest!).

Come a little closer My Precious...
 
What a great Salamander, his colors matches my 76 to a T!

Those are Optima strings, I think it's from the same company (?)
 
Sorry I forgot to answer in the showcase section, so here it is: I normally use R.Cocco strings, I think the Optima strings have about the same lifespan. Sound is ok, but hey... even shoelaces will sound awesome on an Alembic :-)
