I have been a bit lethargic lately, not even bothering to dig out the camera and take a few shots. So the other day I took myself in hand and started to really study the camera's settings. Hitherto I went for the auto shots, this time I experimented. Some examples are shown below, but there are also some on-the-spot pics taken with the iPhone.

I made a note of the name of this butterfly and promptly lost it. Never mind losing the pic, I think I'm losing my memory!! |

Cones on our Christmas Tree (for want of a better name!) |
 |
A feather, the property of either a Magpie or Wooodpigeon |
 |
Pampas in full show at the front of the house |
 |
Apples in the garden |

Young lady collecting for charity, namely ponies for the handicapped. She stood in the rain hoping people would give money, which most did. I came out of the store and saw someone else taking a photograph so I pulled out the iPhone and jumped on the bandwagon. |

It goes without saying that this is a shot of the sky! |
 |
Our new bird feeding station |
 |
See how the squirrel sits neatly on a wrought iron ring?
This is the only place he can get to on the new station.
Why? Because I covered the poles with Vaseline. |

This iPhone pic shows a vegetable cart that was at a restaurant we went to, obviously advertising a show.
Well, that's all folks. I will try and play with the camera again. Who knows, I might even get the hang of it. |
