Blooming

The vigil is on. Today may be the day my new D80 will be delivered. I am watching and waiting...

We had a really good rain this week and one benefit is that our yellow hibiscus that had been pouting in its big clay pot all summer suddenly decided to grace us with a bloom.

While I'm waiting for my new D80 to be delivered, I decided this blooming hibiscus has offered me a good way to put my new little Panasonic Lumix point & shoot through its paces.

So I used the macro setting and am generally happy with the first results. What do you think, y'all?
