Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Mary,
A beautiful picture of these memories of Hot Summer's Days I have Blue & White ones on my garden. Beautiful composition, capturing that beautiful Delft Blue of the flowers & their star like shapes on green stems that fan out from the top of the thicker stalk. Taken with superb camera techniques with sharp focus & beautiful soft lighting.
Susan

A very nice shot with sharp detail and outstanding colors. Congratulations on the new camera; it is always nice to have a second body and this is a big upgrade. When you learn about all the presets and gadgets maybe you could teach me. I think they are largely the same on the 7100 and the 7200. Best of shooting with it.

Thanks so much, your encouragement is appreciated. Yes can't wait to get out with new camera just found it has selective colour as an option on effects - shame it is over 100F (40C) otherwise I would be out and about :)
