Very Purdy Jane...:) Hey...I have the first one...but if you will toss a fan of each of the other's....place them in a box (Ziplock bag lined) place it in the Susquehanna and I'll grab it out....down here...:) Rick

Blue Poppy~ Great combo! My poor Bleeding Hearts have been savaged by voles the past two years. I get fewer flowers now, even tho' the plants are mature. Do you have a shot of the entire Dicentra in bloom? Cowboy~ I love the gentle combination of your pastel Columbines with Liberty. Very pleasing to the eye. McT~ Your GE is everything that mine isn't (just flat-out gorgeous!) Sugarman~ Do you clean your leaves before you take pics? They are so pristine, even the late season leaves. This is a picture of 3 Gold Standards and astilbes after a break in a nasty rain storm. It's kind of dark, but therefore different from most of my other hosta pics. Hostas and astilbe don't get beat down by rain like lots of other plants. ~Bunnycat

Over cast here with light rain. Where are the slug holes and bug bites!?! LOL All your hostas are perfect. I'm envious. Connie

Caudex1, Sure can, we went to a retail store and looked at both Nikon D80 and Canon 40D, seriously considering either one. We have 2 other Canon cameras so my DH was leaning more towards that one. I was leaning more towards the Nikon as my sister has one and I knew she gets great photos from it. Like I said the Canon was heavier and a little bigger, it had more menu options on the dial, not sure what they all were. We took photos from both and through the lcd screen, the Nikon looked like it captured the truer colors. My hair was a little yellower with the Canon, my hair is not that yellow. They let us print out a sample from each camera. The Nikon, the colors were more true and the sharpeness was better, more of the photo seemed in focus. The Canon, I liked my face colorings a little better(not so red) but my hair was yellower and the surroundings were not as sharp as with the Nikon. The Canon had an image stablizer but the Nikon did not. Also the Nikon was $ 300.00 cheaper.
