lblanchardBut, happily for me, my own flower show is about to begin. The first set of buds on the hippeastrum 'exotica' are very likely to open, and the first 'gervase' isn't far behind. Meanwhile, the first Nopalxochia flower is approaching full size, and I counted fifteen buds this morning.
Now that I've learned two things about my camera -- how to use the "burst" feature to get great focus on the second or third shot, and how to fiddle with the exposure -- I was able to get some photos on the last day that simply hadn't worked earlier in the week.
I lounged around in bed until 5:30 this morning -- wow! -- but mostly because my knees and ankles had gone on strike. I'm sure they'll be better soon. The sun just rose over the rooftops, and a lovely day is forecast, with highs in the 50s. Perfect for a bike ride to the supermarket.
Now to resume my normal life. (I'm glad Roy is in Jacksonville so that he doesn't notice that I'm moping today.) But first, I think I'll edit a few Flower Show pictures and post them on Flickr.
