Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Steve Barnes,
Ok, having wracked my brains I have to ask. What is a Perhaps Hand?
I got a C in my paper on the meaning of an e.e. cummings poem, so I suggest you ask someone else.
Considering he is my favorite poet OF ALL TIME, and this was in 1986, I'm pretty much over it by now. Just a few more sessions and I should be fine.

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Venetia King,
found this piece that says he's involved so maybe it was.
Thanks Venetia. I thought it looked like Dan Tippet's work. That's who I was thinking of. We have a hibiscus flower of his on our wall.

As is Aucks
Are those on a wall Sofie, or in paintings you have?

Wellington’s a bit gloomy today so here’s one from a sunny spring day in 2010.
That really is quite stunning.

I’d say it was more pink. ;-)
In fact, often purple.
Tibouchina Elsa, my resident Twitter botanist informed me, with a little help from Google images. ;-)
ETA: Link changed. Found better.

1) Broccoli flowering.
2) White flower? -
Pohutakawa blue.
Thanks for joining in Venetia, Geoff and of course everyone else, with more wonderful, colourful, springness.
Venetia, I did actually add a link yesterday to the bottom of the original post to the poem in question. An oversight from when first posted.
Cheers.

Thanks for dropping by Lee. I'm sure Murray would be thrilled to hear from someone who was there. I'll make sure he sees this.
Cheers.

got seduced by Leica (which breaks the budget). That red dot....
Happens to the best of us. You might be interested in this then.

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Hebe,
Has anyone a recommendation for a digital compact with excellent picture quality, manual functions, a good zoom with a 24mm wide-angle, a rangefinder and a metal body?
The tricky bit will be the 24mm lens with a rangefinder. Most compacts have dropped the rangefinder altogether. My pick right now would be the Canon G12, which has all that, except the 24mm lens (35mm). You could stand further away. ;-)
Anyway, I'm not familiar with many other brands, being a bit of a Canon fan, so would be worth looking around a bit. Heard good things about both Lumix and Olympus.
ETA: Ha. Nora got there first. Have been impressed with the Lumix, definitely, but not 'officially' my camera. ;-)
