Ahem!

Following on from Prieni's poppy post......

We had a huge poppy appear in the garden this year, at 12inches high I was going to weed it out until my wife informed me it was a poppy (it just looked green and weedish to me ) so we decided to leave it, at 4feet high it started to flower, unfortunately the rain prevented me getting to it, then we had a real downpour and this is what happened to it:




Fortunately the roots appeared intact so with the help of a bamboo cane and some cable ties its now back on its feet and I am awaiting the next flowering, just after I took this shot I took a tape measure to it, its just short of 5 feet

Damm! my memory card was full and the batery died on me, I only got 73

I like them all but theyre far from perfect

I cant fault the first
The second I love, good use of fish-eye but I find those bugs very distracting
The third is nice but those grasses are obscuring the bottom right of the poppy and another of those annoying bugs.....
Fourth.....Hmmm, would liked to have seen either more green or none at all.
Fifth, that dead head in the middle spoils it for me, plus those annoying bugs again

Overall, very good. Take some insecticide along next time

And please tell me who was the saD "£&$)"*$)"_!" who found that? its cost me a fortune in internet bills mailing it to my friends

I was also fooled by the beamer wish mine was that shiny

Poor little Boris

I'm laughing

Wife Swapping might be the best option for you
I would love my wife to take more interest in photography and make use of my now little used istD, but she prefers her Minolta Dimage, why dont we trade photo's and consider a pre-swap agreement..........Oh, hang on though, my wife hates shopping and doesn't know how to use a credit card, she's also a qualified Massuese, a good cook and great at ironing......I think I'll keep her

Deal off, sorry, you'll have to buy another K10D

Oh Dear indeed!, this one got me going, I've not been online for a few days, I log onto the forum and the first post I read links me to a dream camera, I was taken in for a few minutes, I really must try and get out more often

Er guys....I think this image has a message, something on the lines of "know your onions"

Anyway, thats it, next time I prepare a stir fry your going to get the lot, as long as I dont touch my K10D with smelly onion fingers or get black bean sauce on the lens everything should be jus fine
