Cool Flower

We went to my in-laws this Memorial Day weekend and my youngest daughter picked a flower for my wife. I hadn't really ever seen anything like it and thought it would make a good picture. So here is a flower from that plant. Not sure what it is, but it has some very vibrant colors.

Toad

I got my camera back finally on Monday, but have been too busy to really go out an use it until today. So out I headed today to find something to take a picture of, but there was pretty much nothing. No flowers, no interesting sunsets or scenery. The best I could come up with was this picture of a toad that I almost stepped on while I was looking for something to take a picture of. Anyway, I did like the detail my camera was able to get, and the pixel that had been burned out didn't show up either, so I'm happy.

Thank You Nikon!

I finally sent my camera in for repair last week. I had been dragging my feet mainly because I am lazy, but also because I knew it was going to be more money than I wanted to spend. However, I got a letter back from Nikon today telling me that they fixed it for FREE, some kind of "good will repair" or something like that. It's on it's way back to me now and I am very appreciative of Nikon.
