The new flash I mentioned arrived yesterday, and I've been experimenting with it. As I mentioned, the camera's shoe isn't "hot", and the data connection with the camera is via a cable-- said cable is around 8 or 10 inches, giving me some play to hold the flash in one hand and move it around to different positions with the other.

Technically this shot is a screw-up in the positioning of the flash in front of the camera, but I like it, darn it!


Lovely little photo!! I always hoped that these Venus cuties would bob, weave, and bend around the way they do in some cheap Sci-fi movies. As a child I used to sit and watch them, just hoping for some movement other than when I'd tickle a trap to see it close. At least Sundews have the decency to coil themselves up around their pray.

I too was disappointed by my first encounter with one of these little cuties. I kept waiting for it to "snap" shut. I've since learned to appreciate their graceful but slow moves.

This has been coming up each summer for the last 3 years - still only the one plant - it doesn't seem to produce seed, which is a shame ....

Just got some nice tomatoes and some more peppers out of the garden. The fruit is starting to appear on the eggplant. The potatoes are the size of jaw-breakers. Hmmm....

Here's what's been in my garden every morning for a few weeks now: blackbirds. They've eaten the heck out of that corn! Think I need a scarecrow. Or maybe I should shoot one and hang it on a makeshift cross in the middle of the corn patch as a warning to the others.

Nah, I haven't the heart for that.

Gee, Tom, what's all that nasty plant matter? It would appear that you have some tall, pesky weed growing in your bird sanctuary.

These birds know what's good for them: I'm sure your corn tastes much better that those engineered monstrosities shot full of chemicals that are in the agricultural fields

I've been preparing my plants for the holidays. My wonderful and irreplaceable concierge has agreed to come and water them when I'm gone. I set up lots of plastic bottles screwed on ceramic cones that are supposed to let water seep through as needed. I'm pretty sure I have too much irrigation now that the weather is milder, but I don't dare reduce it, what if there is another heat wave?

I'm busy eating all of the rocket before I leave, and I have torn down the two oldest plants that had flowers already, to sow some more in their place. I don't know if that's going to work, maybe all the nutrients in the soil are used up already? To attempt to compensate I put a couple of fertilizer sticks in the soil.

One of the tomato plants is growing lusciously, the others are less exuberant but they all have fruit now, and flowers still. I love watching the bees browse them. (Is that really the correct term? It sounds weird )

I'd be careful if I were you, kk. You might find Recluse hiding in there hoping to learn about your occasional "commando" ways.
