Tiny flowers

The weather reports and sites we look at said we might get some rain overnight. We didn't. Twenty-four hours ago they were predicting 14 mm — more than half an inch. Then they scaled it back to 5 mm during the day. As it turns out, they could have scaled it back to zero. And it's still hot, outside and inside.

One of the great things about today's digital cameras is the way they let you see and examine very small things, like flowers, that you could never really see so clearly before. Look at the flower above. How big do you think it is in reality?

Well, here it is

to show you

how small

the flower

actually is.

 Here is another example. When I stop to take photos like these, Callie gets a chance to do some serious sniffing around during our walks around the vineyard.

I took these photos with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 pocket-size camera. (It's called the ZS40 in North America.)
