Stop and smell
The aforementioned camera has arrived and so has spring in the Souzek garden. Below is the best picture I've managed to take so far, of one of three large and newly blossoming lilac bushes in our yard. I hope you can recall the wonderful smell that accompanies it.

As an additional exercise in digital photography, I will be participating in the
May Day Project [via
brilliant corners], which requires the taking and posting of one photo per hour for the entire day of Saturday, May 10th. It sounds like an interesting way of presenting a day in my shoes. We shall see.
