More Than Mulch Involved
Posted: 05/04/07


I have never enjoyed photography, either the taking of pictures or the posing for them. But Earl received a fancy-dancy digital camera as a birthday gift, and I have been trying to learn how to use it. In doing this, I've learned that photography is lightyears away from the clunky Kodak(R) camera I received as my own birthday gift maybe fifty years ago.

The improvements are fodder for another blog, but a sampling of my photo skill and my gardening ability is displayed above. It represents yesterday afternoon's hard work in spreading mulch around our flowerbeds. The task still isn't done -- we'll need the next couple days to accomplish that; and I'll probably need more than that to master the fancy camera. Suffice to say I've begun.
