I can SO relate to the need for a tripod. My cellphone camera is USELESS! drat! Love your pictures. What is the blue flower?

:gig:barnie yeah, cell phone cameras are a challenge! If I anchor my elbow on something and hold the camera with two hands, I might get a clear shot. I do delete a lot of my cell phone shots though. :barnie

Thanks, Queen Mum! The blue photo is a closeup of my favorite flower - violet. This one is about 16th generation of the first violet plant that I dug out of the lawn of my "new" 85 year old Craftsman cottage. I spotted It the first Spring I owned the house, in Rochester, MN. After carefully mowing around it and several others, I dug them up and planted then in my flower bed border. That border ended up being 15" wide and the whole front and sides of my house. When I sold the house, I took some plants with me. That was 3 houses ago. :D

I use this violet photo as my avatar for some of the forum sites I am on.

It is an amazing shot! and I would have taken them with me when I left too Lol! Glad to meet someone else who at least used to live in MN if you don't still :celebrate
 
Thank you, Samantha. We have moved several times (with a ten year stop in Pennsylvania) and now are living in East Texas. Sadly, my violet progeny didn't survive the move to Texas last Summer. :hit So, I bought some seeds and am planning to start some new violet plant's to grow on our new little farm - Devonviolet Acres. :love

We finally hung pictures on the walls, 3 months after moving into our new home. Here are some of my watercolor paintings, and one of our little (7 pound) white Persian. We rescued her when she was about five and lost her last Summer (just before our move to TX) at the age of 13. We both miss her so much and cried when we hung this on the wall.
