I have ordered a new camera -
Olympus VR-340 Smart 3D Camera Red 16MP 10xZoom 3.0LCD: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

It's the same as the one Frank has just got though goes by a different model number for some reason.

It's red... yes I know but I'm a girl (well was once) and it matches my laptop - no not my eyes!

Frightening how easy it is - just one click and I've got camera, case, spare battery and memory card on the way. Whoopee!

I got mine at Comet roughly the same price

Wasn't quick enough to catch neighbours 16 yr old son out bare-foot, just wearing shorts, arms raised to the skies in the rain!!!!!

Tried to capture some droplets "alla Dave" -begin to think my camera isn't good enough... either that or the one who's using it!

Its just practice, and getting lucky with the droplets, and the light in the right direction. We get plenty of time to practice.

I'll have to find some flowers and wickthings on the prom - might not be easy.

Had a look at the Comet website earlier - not a singe Olympus camera to be seen, and I can't get to their store.

If I go through a special link on their website, by buying it at Amazon I am benefiting the funds of a choral society I used to belong to before I moved up here so I like to use them if the price is right.

Should be good in a few weeks if they all keep growing and the gardener doesn't pull them up instead of the weeds...

These are out at the moment ... one of my favourites.

Love some of the 'myths' behind the naming of this flower. I must have a sick sense of humour .... found myself having to cross my legs when I read this one .....

'In 15th-century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers. Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but because of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not." It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love.'

I know out of focus.
