Coronilla valentina subsp. glauca

Yes, it's true. I got a new camera for Christmas.

And you know what that means? You are bound to be inundated with floods of photos before long!

I am really excited about the camera and can't believe how close it gets.

I hope everyone had a Happy Christmas and Santy brought you all what you wanted.

Between assisting in bike riding and popping next door to borrow tin foil on Christmas Day, I noticed that my snowdrops are poking out of the ground. The daffodil 'Rijnveldt's Early Sensation' is also up and there had been one flower but a slug seems to have breakfasted on that!

'Snap' - ha, ha. I get it!

I have a Nikon Coolpix L120, Jacinta. What is your camera?


Jacinta Jacinta 26 December 2011 17:53:29

It's a Samsung WB690, Optical Zoom Lens 16X. Similar to my old one, but better. And this one is 12 megapixels.

A camera seems to have been the perfect gift for gardeners this Christmas. Enjoy and I am looking forward to all the photos recording your gardens and your visits to other gardens over the coming months. Mary
