Reflection - Photos added
I have updated Reflection with the photos I took at Canadian Stars On Ice in April. I used a digital camera this time, a Canon S3, and I’m quite happy with how the pictures turned out. No more film camera!

I was able to watch some of the men’s short programs on CBC, which was cool. I don’t remember the last time I saw figure skating on TV (we don’t have cable). I was hoping they would show the ice dancing since the station kept hinting about it, but right after the men it switched to another program. An amazing placement for Tessa & Scott!
