I'm very new to digital photography - got my first digital camera only about 3 years ago, and it was a far cry from the very nice one I have now. We do have some digital shots of our current garden though, back two years ago compliments of my dear husband who's a much better photographer than I am. I love having the pictures and being able to compare progress from year to year.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-76099109039553513552008-05-26T09:14:00.000-04:002008-05-26T09:14:00.000-04:00Melanie, That bloom with the forget me nots looks ...Melanie, That bloom with the forget me nots looks more like candytuft than cerastum tomentosum.

We bought it to take pictures of our trip down the <A HREF="http://www.gouldhome.com/grand/" REL="nofollow">Grand Canyon</A>. That was back in '99. I've done so many travel journals since then, but until this year never took photos of the garden.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-45370695351094977342008-05-24T03:45:00.000-04:002008-05-24T03:45:00.000-04:00Your garden was as lovely in 2001 as it is now.

I got my first digital camera and immediately took pictures of the garden, which according to the pictures was planted with nothing but ornamental peppers! Hundreds of pictures of only the peppers, I guess they were the mail colorful thing in the garden then, and some marigolds and zinnias. Why didn't I take photos of the entire garden? Who knows! Thanks for reminding me to go look at the old photos.<BR/>FrancesFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11489642.post-129692941720479112008-05-23T16:05:00.000-04:002008-05-23T16:05:00.000-04:00This is only my first year photographing the garde...This is only my first year photographing the garden, so my images only go back a couple of months.
