Got a chance to go inland a ways last Mother’s Day and to play with the manual focus mode on the Lumix. The Lumix doesn’t have a viewfinder. You can buy one separately. Without it you rely on the screen on the back of the camera body. The Lumix is great, the lenses are great, but I’m not certain how much I like that.

From the archives: Crocus from our front yard, early spring, 2003.

A photo from a very bright, very hot day in August when I went for a walk at Gilsland Farm. These flowers were in the community garden.

I forgot to write down the name of this tree. If you know what kind of tree this is, please leave a comment!
