Charlie

**Where in the yard is Charlie?**
I love my little garden gnome, who I’ve named Charlie. I thought I’d do a little picture trip a la Amélie (except Charlie explores my yard instead of the world).

The camera I used is the Fujifilm FinePix E550. It has 6.3 megapixels and 4x optical zoom. There are pre-programmed screen positions including: portrait, landscape, action, and night. There aren't many other features on this camera, so I tried to experiment a little with angles.

Here is Charlie in his home among the bushes:

Charlie has decided to go on a little adventure. First he stalks among the grasses:

Then he decided to explore among the pine trees:

He got a little tired from all his exploring and decided to rest under the table:

After a long day of hiking, Charlie returns to his home:

**Thoughts**
This was a fun project. I wish my camera had more settings, but it was fun experimenting with angles. I really liked the picture of Charlie in front of the pine tree.
