Lovely images, Steve and well caught bee in the PiP. Ah yes, mustn't get in the way of 'progress'! Interesting that you used an FZ20, I still occasionally use mine.

Thanks George FZ-20( gave away) was my first Digital replaced by FZ-28 which was not as good so I went Nikon and have not looked back from all the challenges. I have a few more next year as I wait for a star tracker and learn how to use it over the new year. From us in the west I hope you and the family have a great Xmas and New Year hope its not too hot .

A fine tree Steve and a firm favorite here, I see. Out closest thing to a Christmas flower is the
lovely Poinsettia Tree of which we are often gifted. A pity that some of yours have had to make way for buildings though.

Have a great Christmas my friend, Herb

Steve Paxton club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Herb you are right but pales in Colour to these flowers I should add a landscape view as well so you see just how they stand out. Sadly long gone and I have to find some more I can get photos from.

All the very best to you from the West for the Holidays.

Hi Steve,

A really nice orange colour, which I like. Of course you guys will have different trees, and a totally reversed set of seasons to us, so enjoy your summer.

Thank you so much for all your helpful hints in the past year!

I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Best Wishes

We most certainly had no snow you can see Xmas day PIP 2 a shot from my seat at lunch. No snow in 20 years can not be a very good sign BC. Like wise We certainly wish you & family all the very best ( and some snow) and for New Years. Steve
