Well Gary, you can toss the center left one over to me. I have an
original of this cross.
By the way Gary, I took a second look, second....., & you have to be
commended on the pristine look of all your plants & good photos too.
What camera do you use? Forgive me if I have asked before.


Unfortunately your taste and mine are very close, so that one you're looking
at is one of my keepers.
My camera is an old Epson 3000 3.2MP I got back in 1999. It was top of the
line at the time and had a mess of features, lenses, filters. It has digital
zoom, digital light control and quite a varied menu. It also has its
glitches as do all cameras even now. But my eye has been straying towards a
Nikon D80 10.2MP SLR as maybe a Christmas present to myself. I need to shop
around a bit since the prices vary a good bit but are around $1000+. I don't
think
Epson is into cameras anymore but it was a great investment and certainly
taught
me how to do more than point-and-shoot. I'm no expert on cameras, but IMHO
I think it wise to stick to the high-end Nikon, Canon or Olympus. They're
continually
rated tops and give you everything you want.
Thanks a lot for your compliments and comments.
Gary
