Well, I got the gifter right this time, at least of the canna (Pretoria), she is so beautiful.
That would be kind of circular, the student teaching the teacher. If I can figure out how, I'm always happy to share. Okay, you know who you are! Thanks for the info on how to turn off the noise, and my apologies for forgetting your name. Still have that brain glitch. Repetition helps.
Ima, had no idea how much I'd come to love the cannas you gave me. The red ones are rocketing to the sky, they really love that leaky faucet! LOL!
The others aren't sending up flowers, but they are spreading. They seem happy so I'm waiting to see what they do.
I don't know what I'm doing most of the time, but I have figured out the best settings for a couple of places where I sit often to take photos, now I have to learn how to have them preset! AAACCCK!
So for now what you see is what you get. I am amazed at how on some settings it really makes all the difference in the world to hold the camera button halfway down until it autofocus' then depress the shutter the rest of the way. This guy was a hundred feet away from me up high in the tree. Same bird as the other day, but this one is cropped and you can see more detail.
Wait till you see some of the ones I've been getting today.
Got to go for now, but I'll be back with more photos soon.
WIB!
