flowers in my parents' backyard......

Anonymous said...: The hanging basket flower is still here but the hollyhocks bloomed all the way to the top and we cut them yesterday and put them in bags and took them out to the city garage where they are disposed of. I save some seed and Patty put some sections of the stalks down so the seed will come out and reseed themselves. We also spent some time taking down and out the spider wort plants. They look nice but grow everywhere and take over and I don't want that. So it was a work day yesterday.

I got to be careful now too as this MTX messes with my immune system and Dr. Wharton told me my bladder infection is just the first thing that will probably happen and I will have to be careful around crows and so on. So, I don't know what working out will do but Patty reminded me that I am not supposed to be in the sun either. She promised to get me a big hat.

Patty said...: Yes, like your Dad said, most all of the hollyhocks have bllomed and are down, still a few here and there.

I also save some seeds for Mom, she wanted some to plant. I just put a mixture into a container for her, they have to dry out a little more yet before I give them to her.

Love you. Give Noah a hug and tell him it's from Grandma Lincoln; July 24, 2008 at 11:01 AM

WHY the name PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DUMMIES?

Because I don't know much about the digital cameras I have used over the years....and yet I am able to take photographs. I have never made it through my entire instruction manual for any of my cameras. I started out with a little cheap 1MP camera.....and progressed from there. I still only have a 5MP Lumix.

Can I explain much about the settings I use or how I captured the shots I have? No, not really. Does that negate the value of the photo? No, not really. They are what they are and can more than stand alone based on their own value.

I want this blog to inspire and encourage even those who think they are clueless or a "dummy" when it comes to taking pictures to just get out there and DO IT! After all if I can get these shots....I am pretty sure you could too!
