Cistus

Many of the spring flowers in the garden are over, and we're now starting to get summer flowers like this cistus.

My new Panasonic Lumix FZ45 has had to go back for repair or replacement - the shutter and zoom control keeps jamming, which is very frustrating. This was taken with my six-year old FZ3 which I still really like, although it never gets quite such sharp images. One benefit is each picture is only 1MB making the files much quicker to work with. The pictures with the FZ45 are 6MB each.
