My trusty but rather old digital camera died on me the other day, and there's too much of the adventure left to rely only on the camera phone. Besides, I'm not fully au fait with it (see earlier post). So, it was time to purchase a new camera. And today it was time to take it out for a test run. I needed to be out of the hobbit house for an hour or so while Robert, the Scout, came and emptied the bins and did his stuff, so, accompanied by Granny Rose, I took a walk along the canal.
The weather today was exceptional for England - I was able to wear a sleeveless top even. It was high summer. I tested the macro setting on some English hedgerow flowers: harebells, borage, deadly nightshade, burdock, stinging nettles, forgetmenots, vetch, blackberry, buttercups and wild roses. Kenneth Grahame of "Wind in the Willows " fame went to school and is buried in Oxford and there is that kind of feel to the canal side vegetation.
