Camera!

My new camera has arrived. It's a Canon PowerShot SD750 with 7.1 megapixels, which my daughter tells me is fine for what I want. Now, I can start showing more photos with my posts, as soon as I figure out how to use the thing. Here are a few beginners' shots.





Here's the fairy statue peeking out from among the oregano, verbena and evening primrose.







Sweet alyssum is growing around the rosemary at the foot of the steps.






English Thyme growing along the walkway, with it's little tag. The tags are ceramic and were made by one of the Fine Arts majors at the University. She sells them at the ceramics booth that they sponser several times a semester as a fund-raiser.







And finally, a potted Diascia sitting on the porch.









Those are all the photos I have for now. I'm going to have to wait until it's a little cooler this evening to take a few more.


On another note, my Suzy Q is back! My pretty calico kitty disappeared just before the last freeze and I was very worried about her. I'd given up hope of seeing her again and was only hoping that someone had taken her in. That's apparently what happened, because she showed up this morning, looking a bit thin and hungry, but with a pink collar that was a couple of sizes too small around her neck! I popped the collar off and she seems much happier now. She's cuddled up with one of the other cats right now.
