I was thinking about buyers in Norfolk recently and this article from our Realtor magazine caught my eye with a great article titled "Overcoming Buyer Reluctance." As we are constantly speaking with home buyers about their wants and needs for a new home, but many times especially now they are rel...

The Kodak company is introducing a new bridge camera with HD for video. The lens will be a 26 mm with an impossibly long zoom of 24x. Don't know much more about it at the moment but I do love a long telephoto lens. This should be great for most inside shots and outside shots as well. Special ...

I caught this lonely little guy all fluffed up and no where to go. He was on my bird feeder in my backyard in Glenwood for quite a while. I don't know why he shared his beauty but he did. It was actually daylight when I took the picture but I guess I didn't have my Panasonic DMC FZ 18 set up ...
