Dear Grandma,

Your parcel could not have arrived at a better moment. I had been dreading a whole week in the woods with nothing but my phone to take pictures on, and then out came the camera you had tucked inside. It is just the sort of thing I would never have bought for myself, and I want you to know it is already earning its keep. Diego and I have only just come home from a week at Prince Albert National Park, where the two of us went chasing wildlife with our lenses. My old point-and-shoot quit on me last winter, so your timing could not have been better.
