Well, since we lost our Fuji camera at the HYATT House Miami Airport where it more than likely was placed on top of the safe deposit when we were packing up and checking out; we got a new one.
When we did call the hotel about it, nothing had been found; sad but true. The housekeeping people were already knocking on our door twice, before we rolled out at noon. With our Platinum card we are allowed to check out as late as 2:00 PM.
In that dark closet without any light, for ironing board and safe deposit, which is on the floor, one can easily forget an item. Pieter had to get on his knees for unloading the safe; laptop, iPad, camera etc... We cannot blame him or myself. Just bad fate!

Costco did have a Nikon D3300 DSLR Camera 2 Lens Bundle on sale so that's what we got!
Husband Pieter captured our beautiful exotic Sesbania punica - Scarlet Wisteria
Very full blossoms with all the rain we got
Looks like our new Nikon is capable of doing the job!
Costco still has it on sale through July 26...

Wonderful my friend, I too love my camera I bought last year. I know you're loving it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful comment on my new antique Frenchy table. We are very happy with both results...with ours and DD's! You made me smile when you told me the story about your dear Sil and how it reminded you of her, I will always remember this.
Hugs sweet lady.

Dear Sid,

Have a great day.

Liebe Elisabeth,

O dat is jammer zeg, had je er nog foto's op zitten? Ik heb ook weer mijn oude camera terug, iemand in Almere bood dezelfde zo goed als nieuw aan tegen een heel schappelijke prijs. We konden hem zo ophalen.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJa ook dat nog... foto's van onze lieve vrienden in Miami waar we net geweest waren.
Jij bofte dus dat je een zelfde camera terugkreeg! Maar niet iedereen is eerlijk op deze wereld, al zat er ook een adressticker op.
Liefs,
Mariette
It's really nice you can check out later with your platinum card. But sounds like housekeeping people didn't realize that. Your photos taken by the new camera look beautiful! It's doing great job :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteYes it looks like some of the housekeeping people don't seem to keep that in mind.
But let's focus on the future and enjoy the new camera with new opportunities. We will visit our dear friends again.
Hugs,
Mariette
lieve Mariette ...
ReplyDeleteik hoop dat je veel plezier met je nieuwe camara beleefd ...
en dat je ons veel mooie plaatjes laat zien ...
veel liefs
Lieve Nieneke,
DeleteJa, daar hopen we zeker op; afgewisseld met wat oudere reisverhalen en dat we nog vaak op pad kunnen gaan sámen!
Liefs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,such beautiful photos taken by your new Nikon camera!!
ReplyDeleteI have a Nikon and i sure l loveit!!You will enjoy taken fantastic picture with those lens!!
Have a lovely evening!Hugs!!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteSo far we appreciate the quality of this camera, it takes some time for learning all the different settings but that will come with time.
Hugs and happy weekend.
Mariette
Your new camera takes lovely photos, Dear Mariette! Your wisteria are beautiful - such an unusual color! I am sorry that you lost your old camera, but it looks like your new camera will do the job beautifully. I have a Nikon and I love it (a different model). Wishing you a lovely weekend. Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteDearest Beatrice,
DeleteSo far we are quite happy with the results and we will manage learning how to adjust to the different settings again. This is quite an exotic wisteria indeed!
It was sad to have such a camera loss but life goes on; it could be worse!
Hugs and happy weekend to you.
Mariette
Che colori Mariette! Bellissimo questo fiore, un inno all'allegria. Ho visto il post precedente....amo le foto in bianco e nero, quelle di tempi lontani poi mi emozionano. Tuo marito era un gran bel ragazzino sai?. Purtroppo quando si riguardano foto di tanti anni si rivedono volti di persone che oramai non ci sono più, e questo mette tristezza, tanta tristezza :( Un abbraccio grande grande. Paola
ReplyDeleteCara Paola,
DeleteQuesto glicine rende molto allegro con i suoi colori esotici. Sì, vecchie foto sempre porta emozioni di malinconia... Bella e anche a volte dolce-amaro. Bel weekend e cercare di rimanere fresco.
Baci,
Mariette
Reallly really beautiful flower!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Leti
Sin pereza
Dearest Leticia,
DeleteOh, this is so pure for summer's most exotic colors!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful your photos are taken with the new camera - love how clear the picture is and the wisteria so very pretty.
Shame that you lost your other camera.
Many thanks for your kind visit - and no I do not export my blog and just have to put it down that I have lost my lovely comments. I do not know why people could not leave a message and maybe it was just a problem with blogger at that time.
Hope you have a great weekend
hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteThank you and this is a very exotic wisteria which we enjoy each summer.
So sorry you lost your comments permanently... Sad but a learning curve!
Don't know what causes such temporarily blocked commenting at times but over the years I have learned NOT to change anything as the problem lies with Blogger most of the times. It will solve itself in days... Not worth trying to risk such a fate as you lived through. Maybe best to start exporting your blog from now on, to save it on you PC for who knows when you might ever need it. If you do it monthly or whatever schedule, your loss can never be that great.
Happy weekend to you.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh, your Scarlet Wisteria looks really beautifully with your new camera, wonderful color it has♡♡♡ Mine is also Nikon and the operator is very kind, too :-)
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of love and hugs to my dear friend Mariette, xoxo Miyako
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteThank you and we just happened to have this most exotic flower blooming, ready to try out the Nikon. Yes it is consumer friendly for using and we will both learn how to adjust the different settings in the near future. It always is a learning curve before you manage to operate it well!
Sending you hugs for the weekend from your friend in Georgia/USA.
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteCastco you did have NEW Nikon camera think both more of others then semtementatily of the your season. Have a wonderful time weekend.
Hugs and love to you!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteThanks to Costco we do have a great new camera indeed. The loss of our photos is sentimental indeed, aside from the loss of our Fuji camera.
Wishing you a lovely and cozy weekend - stay well and warm inside.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful photo! I'm sorry to learn that your camera was not returned. Looks like you have found a wonderful new one. hugs and blessings, Celia M. (HHL)
ReplyDeleteDearest Celia,

But we will get back together again and use this great new addition!
Sending you lovely weekend hugs and blessings,
Mariette
Very pretty
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteSuch a vibrant orange for a summer flower makes happy and perfect color during the WK Soccer!
Hugs,

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewir haben auch eine Spiegelreflexkamera von Nikon. Damit gibt es wunderbare Bilder. Meistens...manchmal stimmen die Lichtverhältnisse nicht dann sind sie auch nicht grade super. ;-)
Viel Freude mit eurer neuen Kamera. Die Blume ist schon mal toll geworden.
Herzlichst
Julia
Liebe Julia,
DeleteDanke und wir sind sehr zufrieden mit diese Spiegelreflexkamera da man oft nichts sehen konnte mit voll Sonnenschein auf schwarz... Ist schon besser so. Diese Blüte hat perfekt auf dem richtigen Moment geblüht.
Wir werden viel Freude damit haben im Zukunft.
Ganz liebe Wochenendgrüsse,
Mariette
Lieb Mariette,
ReplyDeleteso traurig ein solcher Verlust ist, aber die neue Kamera ist
wirklich ein tolles Stück.
Die Bilder sind wirklich gut geworden.
Einen guten Start ins Wochenende wünscht dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa wir haben im Leben ab und zu ein trauriger Verlust aber man kann damit weiterleben... Wir haben ein super Ersatz gefunden.
Ganz liebe Wochenendgrüsse,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette, the pictures of the wisteria are gorgeous! I love all kinds of wisteria, the purple variety is more common in Italy and it's blooming time is the spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the loss of your camera... how annoying...
Thank you for being such a faithful reader of my poor, neglected blog <3 I'm now enjoying my last week in Rhodes and making the best of it! Thank you for all your sweet words and wishes, my dear friend!!!
Lots of hugs from sunny Rhodes!
Dearest Anna,
DeleteThis is a late blooming wisteria variety indeed and perfect under the summer sun. We enjoy the camera, however annoying indeed for not having the camera being turned in to the hotel's lost and found items so they could notify their customer...
Oh, enjoy your time as it is so precious and it is like tanking energy for the remainder of the year!
Hugs and best wishes for a great final week at paradise for you dear!
Mariette
Such bad luck on losing your camera Mariette. But buying a new one is always fun! It's like new inspiration to try it out and take lots of photos. And your flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy sunny weekend!
xo Catherine
Dearest Catherine,
DeleteYes it is, we can always go back to Florida again and here around the house is lots to see and photograph.
Happy and sunny weekend to you as well!
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh dear, what a shame about your camera Mariette.
ReplyDeleteYour new one looks marvellous.
I had a beautiful hand spun and hand weaved soft mohair pashmina that I was very fond of and I left it on a train from France to Rome.... maddening as I've never found a replacement.
Stunning scarlet wisteria!
Love
Shane xox
Dearest Shane,
DeleteOh, we know the feeling of losing some fond pieces that you cannot ever replace... It happens and life goes on!
We do love our new camera.
The wisteria is very exotic and bright.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette, so sorry to hear about the loss of your camera, but it looks like the new one is a good one. The photos of the wisteria are lovely. Warm regards from Warsaw.
ReplyDeleteDearest Zosia,
DeleteSuch things do happen in life and so far with all our travels, we cannot complain!
Warm and regards back to you from Georgia/USA.
Mariette
