I have a few other pictures. The first two are pictures that Dan took with the new camera that the library purchased. The first is a very small flower that's on my butterfly bush. He used a magnfying lens.
The next one is a wild flower called camphor plant. The flower is actually about half an inch across.
The next one is the purple grass I was cutting. He changed it to black and white.
The next one is a catclaw bush. I wanted to cut a branch with the little brown pods. It has too many stickers though and Dan said I don't want catclaw to grow in my yard. He's right.

Yeah, it takes over everything. Not as much at this altitude but it does down in the lower desert. It's prickly and full of stickers and you can't get rid of it. If you cut it off, it comes back thicker so you have to dig it out and get all the roots. Susie the goat loved it. Dooley

Goats love all that kind of stuff.I wish I had the back patch behind my house fenced .I would get some goats to clear it out.It has gone wild back there.Just to much to keep up with myself.

I've never seen or heard of Catclaw either Dooley. It looks really unusual but I think I'll pass on trying to get one for my garden. The piccies of your butterfly bush and camphor plant are lovely but I think my favourite is the purple grass.

Looks like that new camera does a good job. Your husband must have found it fun to mess with a new toy.

The clarity of those images is astounding. Amazing. IMO black and white really adds to an image as well, ironically enough. Any idea of the camera specs Dooley?

The camera is a Canon Powershot S3 IS. It's a 6 Megapaixel, with x12 image-stabilized optical zoom, and built in macro mode.

I always laugh when people think the camera makes the photographer. I wonder if the hammer makes the carpenter or the brush makes the painter. Dooley, your boy is a marvelous photog.
