STEPPING OUT

OK, time for a realistic pic for a change. "Stepping Out" (5-1-13 12678ev2) is a new crop of an old photo, with a little fussing for color saturation, clean-up, and contrast. I've been checking our rose garden almost daily for new rose pix, but given the drought (even with the new drip lines installed beneath it) it's not doing very well. Even so, we have had a couple spectacular blooms. But when they were out I was in a rush. Those are the times I think maybe I should keep my camera hanging on a strap around my neck so I can take pix "on the fly by." Instead of having to fumble to dig it out of my purse while balancing my walking stick and whatever else I'm carrying ... and then (often enough, to my dismay) find I have to take even more time to put in new batteries! Ah, the travails of a wannabe photog.
