New Project/Equipment Change

I have made some recent equipment changes.  I really like the Sigma lenses, so I have traded out one lens for a new one.  I now have a Sigma 18-250 f3.5-6.3 lens.  It should be good for our trip to Alaska this summer.  I can't wait to try it out.  I have also purchased a new camera.  I just bought the Nikon Coolpix P7000.  It is a great compact camera.  In fact, I carry the P7000 with me almost everywhere.  I am starting a new summer project called: Farm Barns, Silos, and Water Towers.  Most, if not all, of these pictures will be taken with my new Coolpix P7000.  Here are a couple of the images to start my collection.
