  1. I don't currently own a digital camera so . . . many thanks for the info on your camera. Your "flickr" photos are lovely so I would be very happy with your Olympus FE 230 7.1 megapixl. I guess it's time to retire my Brownie Camera! Thanks again.

  2. Today's entry is both beautiful and informative. "Flower of the day" will make such a nice regular feature. Although there isn't a flower that I don't like, peonies are one of my favorites!
