A pic of a bloom on my Crepe Myrtle tree this afternoon.  I used a setting that reads closer than 28cm.  What do you think?  Im going to try and get a better pic in a sunnier day of a purple bloom.

ooooh!!! it looks like it is made from crepe paper!!

beautiful!

I agree! That really is a beautiful flower picture. Do you remember what camera settings you used when you took it?

I need to get my ass up off the couch and take some pictures. I've been feeling lazy these days for some reason. Maybe this week I'll do it.

You're going to London Chris?!!! Oh, I LOVE London! It's my favorite city.

I hope you have a lot of fun there. Hopefully you are going there to play, and not for work! Don't forget your camera, and take some pictures for us, okay?

Hi Folks

Back from London now, had an amazing time and took lots of pictures, so I'll be posting some for everybody to see.

Oh WOW! 35 C is VERY HOT! That's about 95 F, isn't it? That sounds like the temperatures we get over here. It looks like you had a lot of fun Chris, and I'm glad the weather cooled off a bit. We're looking foward to seeing your vacation pictures from London!

I took this picture yesterday. The weird thing about it is I took the picture in the EVENING, just as the sun was setting. The colors in the sky resembled more of a sunRISE than a sunSET. The colors were hues of lavender, pink and antique blue. It was beautiful. I think this was due to an approaching thunderstorm which we didn't know at the time had caused severe damage up in the northern part of the state. I had noticed pinks and purples reflecting off the wall in the hallway, and when I looked through the window I saw the unusual colors, so I ran outside with my camera and took a picture of it!
