LOL, thanks! If that was true then I'd have significantly less dandelions!  You can even see some in the background on the bluebell picture - it's a disgrace really.  |

I love gardens and hate gardening ! Our tiny garden looks OK but trying to keep the weeds down is a pain. It should look its best in a couple of weeks with the cherry tree in bloom daffodils etc.. then tulips etc.. At the moment we have nice primroses and snowdrops. Both are about on the fourth flowering of the winter. It's crazy. |

Oh that's pretty. Love the dramatic sky! And the red in the foreground balances it out really well. It's so hard to catch rainbows at the most vivid isn't it, and I always find the colours looked brighter for real. That's really good though - like it. |

That [of the boats - not quick enough!] reminds me of one I took in Padstow of a red boat last year. Everything else was quite grey dull and everything painted brightly really screamed at you. It makes some great pictures!

It can't be that bad a camera!!! I can very rarely get that close to butterflies, which is a shame because the macro on mine is OK. That's really nice. |

I think I just don't know how to use it - that was one was just lucky! Thanks for the compliments! Hope you can post your Padstow ones sometime? |

Lovely photos. How do you take such a good picture of a butterfly. So sharp ? The contrast with the stone ( or is it sand) is excellent.
I love Cornwall. It's such a lovely area.
