Thank you Bram for looking in at Busy Bee 2 and for your kind comments. I found these flowers in my parents garden last week, and their colour was too good to not photograph. Thanks again!

Thanks for visiting Flower Power, Brahm. We finally got the scope up again under the new computer. The next goal is to get the imaging system up again. Most of this functionality is governed by software, so I can work on it by remote control, now that we have the satellite system up and going.

Thanks for dropping by "Vivacious Vinca", Brahm. Many plants produce toxins, but what I find interesting is that without the rain forest of Madagascar, this cure would not have been discovered. Also, once discovered, this lowly flower brought needed revenue to one of the poorest economies in the world. I hope that South America has been watching.

Many thanks for dropping by "Red Moss Rose", Brahm. I have found that a little color often adds to any meal. I'm a little partial to the red flowers. The wife, loves the yellows.

Hi Bram!...you make me smile..:)..Thanks for your very nice comment on "Full moon"!...(by the way,viva the tripod!...it's hard to shot the moon..lol..:))..!)
Thank you so much for your comment on "Bouquet". I'm happy to hear that you like it. And thanks for all the good advice. My cam does not have a soft flash function. And I made this "snap" shot just to try out my cam and found it rather nice....so yes next time I will put my cam rocksteady.

Many thanks for dropping by "The Visitor", Brahm. It is a diamond-back rattlesnake.
It has been a long time since I have seen one around the house. We have had a couple of rains that raised a nearby creek. It was probably just following its food supply. I gave it a wide berth and it was gone the next day. Either it returned to the creek area or the neighorhood cats had a feast.

Also thank you for your kind words on Rock Dreams. I used sepia and a little grain effect too which seemed to go well together in this capture. Glad you liked it.

Ha, Ha!!!! Now why did I think you were going to mention falling over when taking The Gatehouse!!!!??? Thank you Bram for your kind comments on this one.

Thanks again, I always value your comments and look forward to them. Have a lovely weekend!

Thanks so much for visiting "The News", Brahm. This was the moment when I knew that all that all the digging and stone work really paid off. Since it was already August when I finished, we populated it with a few annuals. I really love the new piece of glass.

Thank you Bram for commenting on Reaching for the Sky. It is much appreciated. I love taking things from an unusual angle as they prove to be more interesting. I havent really read any books on the subject really, but just go by what I think looks nice at the time. Glad you like this one!
