to bloom.

Hi there,

Just looked at your pictures. Your lawn is beautiful. I am a newbie to gardening. My partner has
just got a new digital camera as well, and I have a rather nice Rhododendron which I am hoping he
will take a picture of tomorrow.

\Look for ward to seeing more of your wonderful garden.

Thanks, the lawn takes some work to get like that as it's inundated
with moss and clover over winter. The key is to get the moss out
early, so i treated it to a feed and weed at the begining of april and
then used an electric lawn rake to remove the moss.

The only down side is that its growing like crazy now.

looking forward to your pics.

Hi Chris

Thanks, you have some fine pictures and a great looking garden, I see
you have taken the time to name your pictures, i must get round to
that myself one day.

I'm using a Canon IXUS v3, i've only had it a couple of weeks so im
still getting to grips with it. My main problem is getting it to
autofocus on the part of the plant i'm interested in, some of the
rejected shots had the stem in focus but not the flower head.

cheers

Nice photographs. The one of the butterfly labeled "Red Admiral I
think" is actually a Small Tortoiseshell. It is a fairly close
relative that also uses nettle as a caterpillar foodplant.

Put your hand at the distance of the area of interest, let it auto focus
there, then swing it back to the target and continue pressure to make
the exposure. This won't work if your area of interest is less than the
minimum focal distance.
