SX50 - Verdict: Excellent! Have a look

Gorgeous photos!  I particularly love the vivid colors on the flowers and birds because right now in Tennessee everything is going into winter hibernation.  There are very few flowers out in nature although there are a few colorful trees left in some areas (what the wind and rain the other day didn't take away).  I'd love to come to Australia some day and also New Zealand.  (My father was in Auckland, New Zealand during WWII and always said he wanted to go back in peacetime as the people were so kind to the American soldiers.  Alas, he never did get to do that so I guess it's always been on my "to do" list.)  Thanks so much for sharing your work!
