Here’s a few photos for both of us to look at while I keep knitting!
Quiet riot of daisies.
Mums, another flower that insists it’s fall, though not fun to pop like hosta.
My favorite little maple.
Oh, and for Lisa’s husband, the whole aster:
Wanna see another composite flower?
Another of the painted daisies, as seen in the first photo.
Gotta go knit — got a knitting deadline here!

I love the close-ups of your flowers. Now I know I just have to get a better camera. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the pictures!
The camera I usually use for the blog pictures is a 7.1 megapixel Olympus Stylus 760, which I find pretty impressive for a small digital camera. It’s easy to use, versatile, and the picture quality is much better than it comes across on the blog; I need to find a better photo editor to optimize photos.
