I also took some shots of our flower beds, which although I’m never keen on the cultivated flower bed appearance, much preferring the haphazard sight of wild flowers, I thought I’d put my Nokia 800’s camera through its paces to check the colours.</font></font></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDgRfI7JvnpUJUHdSGSNJPWs8M1XMSTklt1AULmNBC5euT7BGuGMVdqsOLY516_hFxogTK_SSalP60dik7kPp91GO6sMyMYlTbuphdRfeqB278PmErWvVErd5z55QV4i1u7BuktmeEkEQu/s1600-h/WP_000270%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Flower beds on display" style="float: none;

The best camera is the one you have with you, and these shots prove that saying true. I am also finding that I am getting better at taking shots with the camera in my Nokia phone. On our way to have an x-ray done yesterday at the hospital, I took the opportunity to try and illustrate various fauna and flowers after the rain. I did have to keep stopping of course to take each shot, but I didn’t take my time.
