    Everybody loves their Cameo so I had to throw mine in here too! There seem to be a lot of little ones that start with 'C'.

    Cherish

    Crusader

    Cracker Crumbs

    Country Mouse

    Dixie Chickadee

    Cheatin Heart

    Cathedral Windows

    And not a good picture, couldn't find one from this year, but this is Cookie Crumbs. Maybe someone has a picture of a more mature one.

    I can add a few C's.
    I've had Celebration for 5 or 6 years. Would not recommend it, slow growing, thin leaves and a slug magnet, but it has it's lovely moments.

    Celebration flower is brilliant, when it blooms!

    Captain Kirk has finished his first season and looks promising ...

    Cracker Crumbs was a new addition in July and shows great promise ...

    All these photos are so wonderful! I really need to know how you take a lot of these shots? Do you lay on your tummy; is the tripod lying flat on the ground like a spider?

    I have so much to learn regarding photography...all my shots are from overhead and zoomed in to some degree. And I've been using the autofocus or landscape setting. Is there some other setting I should use for close up detail?

    I'm using a Canon PowerShot A75 camera.

    Char,a lot of my photos are taken uphill from me,and are handheld. I don't use a tripod,but I can. I have been using just the P,for program,in which the camera does everything,exposure,focus,etc.. My camera is a Nikon D70,which takes interchangable lenses. Nothing special,in fact it is now considered yesterday's technology,but I have a lot of lenses from my 35mm days,which also fit this camera. I have all those settings,such as landscape,portrait,close-up,but I never use them. I could take a lot more time,and get really creative,but I've gotten lazy in my old age! Phil

    Char, I use a Canon PowerShot A80, so very similar to yours. I use the close up setting, the little flower symbol. Then push your picture taking button half way and wait for it to focus before you snap the picture. Play around with it!
