Two nights ago, we had a hard frost and I lost about three dozen Impatience. I had them covered with sheets but the frost went right through and knocked them off. I was so disheartened. There is ice in the bay again so no chance of much warmth until that moves off. Seems like it's never going to happen.
I went out with the camera a couple of days ago to try to figure out the Macro and yes, I did have the manual in hand. I tried various settings, running back in the house each time to take the pictures off but all I got were blurry flowers. The best were the two below and I'm not happy with those. I will be going into the city soon and will go to the store where I bought it and get them to show me how it works.
I saw this crow outside with another one yesterday. The other crow was on the feeder picking up seeds and this one was fluttering it's wings like the young ones do when mom is getting food for them. So, I'm thinking this was the others young.
I don't know where I found this or who wrote it but think it's pretty neat:
Life may not be the party we hoped for.....but while we are here, we might as well dance.

Aww poor OC, hope you feel better soon, I guess this miserable weather we are both getting needs to improve and fast, will make us feel a lot more cheerful. Keep warm.
Poor you Oc, I hope you feel better soon.
big hugs
Pull your self together woman, what a small cold, that's a man thing.
Sorry to hear about the frosts, are they particularly late?
The best thing to do with the camera is fiddle, i took loads of rubbish with mine at first. All manor of things about the house inside and out. Come to think of it still do!
I like both pics. OH by the way the small bird in the last post is very pretty
st, I will pull myself together, lol, thanks, I needed that. We usually have the last frost around the middle of June but we don't usually have it as often as we have this May. Yeah, I'll probably fiddle a bit more with the camera.
I like the macro pics, just a little more tweaking with the camera settings and you'll be just right. I have a new camera and will be out experimenting as soon as the memory card arrives and the rain stops! I like that quote, very much.
Meant to say, hope you feel better soon. It may be just a cold but they can still make you feel low.
Hope you feel better very soon OC!
