OK, here's a more conventional flower picture, of yucca blossoms. Mockingbird included at no extra charge. I'll quit for now.  |

Don't get me started! I'm begging you.... We live in south Texas, between Corpus Christi and San Antonio. Yuccas have been blooming here for several weeks. Here's our driveway this morning during that thunderstorm. Below that, from before the 2007-2009 drought, are some huisache daisies. Don't miss the skunk. Enough. Bed time! Nighty night, all!   |

Monday/Mexican hat, a Texas wildflower (from a previous spring--they're late bloomers; none so far this spring)  |

Brassman,
Are you a professional photographer/ I want to take pictures of flowers like you do. What kind of camera and lens do you use?

You're embarrassing me, amongst these real professionals and devoted amateurs with SLRs. Heck, I'm not even a professional author! I've only had pocket-size cameras, the kind you can find at Walmart, with one fist-sized exception that was a little fancier (four batteries). Canon Powershots have been my choice lately. I do use the close-up setting sometimes, but mainly I take a LOT of photos. With digital, you can delete all you want at no cost. Another advantage of small cameras: I generally have it with me! |

Okay, did you read my mind and know that I was feeling a little left out? The best way to start taking pictures with your new camera is to just start snapping. That's why I love digital even though I resisted it for years. I can take 40 shots of one thing and then only keep the really nice one. And for the record, I use a tiny little Nikon coolpix camera. |

What a coincidence, I have the Nikon coolpix S7c. With no viewfinder to steady it I have it on auto and hold down the button until I get 3 or 4 picts hoping at least one will turn out.  |

Further coincidence: I dropped my Powershot and it no longer works. (Good thing it wasn't a digital SLR.) I'm shopping for a new pocket camera. One of my decision points is that it must have a viewfinder, no matter how tiny. Tuesday:  |

It looks like a sugar frosted rose. GORGEOUS! That's morning dew, before sunrise, actually. Biggest surprise: the flash didn't overpower, even on closeup setting. |

Does a Jacaranda Tree violate any "Flower a Day" thread rule? This one grows by a small church enroute to Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii.   |
