LOL, schoolhouse, that was the first thing I thought too - how healthy everything looks! My plants have lots of ratty foliage and bug-eaten blooms, lol. I've got to get myself a nice little point-and-shoot. My DH bought me a beautiful digital SLR camera with complete manual over-ride, which I am still trying to learn. For serious photography it's great, but to run out to take a quick pic for ID or something like that, it's a pain. Have fun with your new toy! Of course we now expect lots of pics! :) Dee

Denise, The camera is a Panasonic lumix FX35. Im A bit dumb when it comes to this stuff so I got one that has built in AI. It just knows what Im trying to take a picture of and changes everything to make it look good. Thanks for the I.D I was thinking that's what it was. Just a lot more showy than my other two.I really like this one. Kelly, Yes I love the look of new leaves. So shiny and this hoya has hugh leaves. Thanks for looking, Cindy

Looks like it will be super! Now you have to do the boring chore of reading the manual. I hope yours is written clearer than mine is. I do not understand why Canon can't get writers who can explain it to the ordinary user!

One work-around I've found for that, Marlorena, is to back up and take the shot from a further distance. The camera will likely get all items in focus, doing that. Then you can take advantage of the great resolution the camera has by cropping and enlarging that portion of the photo, so it is like a close-up. Another trick is to experiment with the plane of the shot. By slightly depressing the shutter button, the camera will show you which areas are in focus in the field of view by surrounding those with green rectangles. If you tilt the camera slightly or shift it to a slightly different view, you will often find you can bring more of a view into focus by doing that kind of adjustment.

Thanks everyone. No, iris_gal I didn't get the hot pink model, even though the thought did cross my mind. Not much blooming right now and the heat diminishes the size of the blooms, but I did want to try my camera out to see if I could get a decent picture posted. I do have quite a few with lots of buds.

This has nothing to do with my new camera. I wanted to show the difference from June 24 to August 8th in this Drop Dead Red container rose. My roses are doing good. I don't think it is any thing I've done, we've had a decent summer and I think the milder weather has helped. I'm also wondering if the Mills Rose Magic and Mills Easy Feed have helped? I know where I live this is a rare thing and I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
