I've looked around a little and not yet seen a gardening forum here. If there is one, could someone please direct me to it? If there isn't one, can we make this it? I know that at least a few of you must be gardeners.

Weather seems so weird this year and everything is happening LATE! I'm just now getting blooms on my winter squash and enjoying the morning activity of hand pollinating them, hoping the fruit will have time to mature. My tomatoes took so long to set fruit that I doubt they will have time to mature either. Bad gardening year, I guess.
Just saw the first black tail fawn yesterday! Normally we see them by mid-July.

Quiet morning in the back yard. Wanted to upload pictures but my files are too big. Oh well. Inauspicious start to the day.

The best way to get good a cameras is look up a photo forum. I will tell you this, take oodles of pictures, digital makes it easy.

I couldn't believe how much fun it was when I got my first digital camera! I'm currently working on writing a costuming master class and the ability to take and edit photos is an incredible boon!

The camera sees everything.

I especially like shooting macro. I do a lot with dollhouse miniatures and taking really good pictures of tiny stuff is fun!

We have a member, Jun225, who is an awesome Macro artist. Sometimes I get lucky.

First picking. Brits call them French Beans. The French call them Haricots Vert. We call 'em green beans. Attachments:
