Finally... new camera

Still trying to get used to my new camera and learning what it can do. 
Today I played around with its 12x zoom. Below is a stunning look at the sun behind a big ol' lump of cloud.

Here's a zoomed-in and even more splendid look at the sun up-close and almost personal.

Only drawback was standing at the edge of the surf wearing my good walking shoes. I was so engrossed in the camera's operations that I got a wet surprise as an incoming wave covered me to my ankles. Chilly too! Woo hoo!
