Nicely done! (And I noticed that no plants were harmed in the making of this image)! ;)
Regards,

:) Oh, Doyle, I probably stepped on one or two. Thank goodness for that 300mm lens or it would have been much worse.  
This was my first outing ever with my Nikon N65. I hadn't touched a camera in over 20 years and my prior experience was a Kodak Instamatic 155x. I am a fool with PhotoShop, so the best I can do is some cropping. Hope to change that with an entrance into the digital age.
Thank you for taking the time to look.

Lovely - which desert delivers a bouquet like this? (Or are you referring to the drought? )
What have you been doing with your Nikon since then? Come on, show us some more!

This is the Sonoran Desert. The photo was taken at the Lost Dutchman State Park.
If I had a decent scanner, I would be able to post more. I have some scanned, but they have a blue line up the middle because of the scanner.
I just got my first digital camera though (a small p&s with lots of features, including manual focus), so we'll see what happens now. My plan is to get a Nikon D80 if all goes well with my digital experiment.
I've got lots of pics of SA that I took with a borrowed camera. Cape Town, specifically.

Thanks, Jacques. I've been enjoying Usefilm so far. I stumbled upon it totally by accident (following the photographs of someone I think does great work and he has some up here), but it's been one of the better accidents of my life. ;)
