Not expected .. Taken on Monday, 25 Sept 2017 around noon - Saved for differences in flowers... It's not a good photo, but one of those 'well, maybe I can do something with it' .. This is why I never delete photos in the camera .. From SD card to hard drive .. Then, I dig through them for gems .. Hadn't noticed the Painted Ladies on the Zinnias until this morning .. Was looking for something else .. And there they were ! © All Rights Reserved EXPLORE

the sun did shine while my computer was not home - this will probably be all I do tonight other than dig out of the piles of emals - Shock wave Flash ? How the heck am I supposed to find that? Know it is with Adobe - But this editing is all I could manage - PicMonkey wouldn't let me in without the Flash - No, haven't put PSE 6 on yet - Just glad to have this back so I can see your photos - Thanks for your patience, Peggy © All Rights Reserved
