walk to practice
taking pictures
of flowers with my new camera. I decided to be
very careful not to invade anyone's privacy by taking pictures of the front of their house or even of plants in their front yard. I would look for
pretty flowers hanging over fences or near the swale. It didn't take long to realize that people very seldom plant really beautiful flowers close to the street. However, I did get a few good shots and managed to take about fifty pictures. I can imagine how quickly I will be able to use up the 1000 photos the salesman promised me I could get onto my memory chip while walking around places like Oxford or Hampton Court. I think I had better buy a couple more before I leave.
This charming little fellow is a curly tailed lizard (yes, that's the name as well as the description). He and his relatives have moved into the
neighborhood within the last few years and made themselves right at home. They seem to be flourishing. They get to be about six or eight inches long and very thick around the middle. They aren't afraid of people either. This one just sat and watched me aim and shoot and didn't even bat an eye.
