I don't currently have that depth of interest in the medium but, if with some nominal work, I can improve the photos I take routinely I'm up for that. The point-and-click camera is still easier to carry about and I intend to bring it and not the other to the Fling. Using only auto settings, the point-and-click works much better for my IaVoM photos but the SLR takes better close-ups in the garden.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-33622791527849394272017-06-08T10:19:03.762-07:002017-06-08T10:19:03.762-07:00I love that Leptospermum.

Mine have been in the front garden since December 2014 and, without actually getting out a tape measure, I'd guess the largest of the 2 is at least 6 feet tall and nearly as wide. I've trimmed them but lightly.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-15788072560509177672017-06-08T10:14:35.227-07:002017-06-08T10:14:35.227-07:00'Sticks on Fire' is another of the plants ...'Sticks on Fire' is another of the plants which I can easily cut and just poke in the ground without ceremony.
