Hi, Kettlewell!

Good to hear from you! I know it’s been awhile. I’ve been so busy going to school, doing a bookkeeping internship downtown, working my graphic job, and everything else one has to do to get by. I read you’ve been extremely busy, too!

This afternoon I tried to change the theme to Twenty Fourteen. I kind of like that, but I think I have to format the photos differently to fit that theme. I gave up and went back to Twenty Ten. I did just now enable the mobile theme. I wasn’t able to get anywhere with the iPhone app, but when I logged on with Safari on the phone, it seems okay. The flower “gallery” is a link, but even in the iMac’s browser version, they seem to have collapsed the gallery to one image, saying the gallery contains 6 images.

For most of these flower pics, I used my fixed 2.8, 40mm. I got that over a year ago, and have enjoyed the hell out of it.

That brown “flower” is probably a past-prime thistle. That’s what it looked like. I was on the Grand Mesa at the overlook as you are about at the top. That was last Sunday, early evening.

You can see, at https://www.flickr.com/photos/djsmorton, camera settings and lenses if you’re interested. Somewhere I posted another picture of a flower with a bee in it. It’s almost always accidental, although in the shot you’re talking about, I was trying to really get a good bee. 🙂 A lot of the more recent pics on there are actually iPhone photos. Once I quit trying to use the zoom feature on the iPhone, I started to get some pretty decent pics.

On flicker.com, I believe I have another of those pink cactus flowers with a butterfly on it. It looks kind of artsy. Maybe I had to fiddle with the noise and had to do it too much. Still — it’s a butterfly. 🙂

Thanks for commenting! Let me know if the site works better for mobile now. If not, I guess I need to find one that’s more suitable. I just can’t seem to find one I really like.

Donna
