NO GOOD LEARNING SOMETHING NEW.....

…..unless you put it into practice! After yesterday's lesson with Phil, I decided that I needed to get out into the garden and take some photographs using my new-found knowledge.

I wandered around taking lots of shots and was going to do a collage for today's blip, but decided that a single shot might be better. I know that Phil looks at my blips so hope when he sees this that he feels I did learn something.

So here is one of Mr. HCB's runner bean flowers, aptly called "Painted Lady" - as you can see it has a bi-coloured flower and hopefully there will be a heavy crop of tender, long pods in a week or so. Mr. HCB buys quite a lot of his seeds from Seed Parade because he can buy them in small quantities and this suits him - of course, you can keep seeds to plant the following year if you have too many in the packet, but Mr. HCB is very particular and doesn't like to do this!

I can't promise that I will always take photographs with the Canon, but at least now I don't feel quite so scared about using it, which is great, but I also know that learning is a lifetime thing, so keep watching this space!

Learning is making it possible for yourself.”

Thank you for all your kind comments on my blip yesterday - we had visitors, so I didn't get round to commenting.
