An Aster

The shot that makes me love the Canon so much... I love the crisp lines and the bright, bright colour of this aster taken in the Dove Cottage garden.

I'm a little sad that the 1000D is still in a coma and that my attempt to upgrade the firmware did not work. The service centre is closed on weekends and I was already late today so didn't want to make a detour. Will have to go home early tonight, so hopefully can send it for repairs by tomorrow. I'm getting quite addicted to taking photos, especially if they turn out so nicely like this one :) 

Wildflower

Came across these beautiful wildflowers in Lake District but can't seem to find their name. Graham didn't know them either, and he's pretty good... Wish someone could help identify them.  

I like this shot with the grey sky background.
