Orchid update

These images were taken with my new camera and an older 17-85mm lens, playing around with exposure settings and the macro manual focus.

Breakfast at Chowder Bay


My imaginary friend Kenny and I went to Chowder Bay this morning for breakfast with my sister Mez, my brother-in-law Phil and their dogs Hettie and Tiffany. I've been sick with a head cold or some weird virus for about a week now so I had to rug up well, but it was good to get out of the house and to see the dogs. They always make me happy.
