I sent our new Canon 40D with Ann to take a photo of someone at her office for their newsletter and went to the backyard to take a couple of photos of some flowers we have using our old (probably about 5 years old now) Canon 10D. Snapped a couple of photos. This photo of chives is one of my favorites and the other is a flower I don’t know the name of, but dug in Octagon, Alabama last year. It is beautiful–the flowers close every afternoon when it is hot and open up when it is cool.
