Thank you all very much. I love taking pictures. I have been whining on another forum that yesterday I broke my brand new Canon SD550 that just came onto the market last month. Somehow I cracked the view window from the inside it looks like. I had it in my pocket, took it out to take a picture of some rose bunches and the window was splotched.

It is one of those 2 1/2 inch windows. I wonder if that is just too big and is weak. $500 gone. So I ordered the S80, 8 megapixels that just came on the market this week. I was so upset but now I am eagerly looking forward to this new one. It is not in their point and click category so I am a bit nervous over it. I may actually have to read a manual. LOL

This is my next must have, a vireya rhododendron. This one was several feet long, growing from a wire basket and twined along a roof line. The owner said they need a little pot for they are epiphytic like in nature. Just too cool. They bloom several times also unlike regular rhododendrons. Sue and I are going to fo nuts on these come spring. If I can wait that long. LOL
