Goodbye old faithful (73/365), originally uploaded by :Duncan.

After nearly exactly almost certainly three years it’s time to say goodbye to the faithful Samsung NV11. It’s a good little camera and I still think the design is stunning. A little chipped, a little battered, I hope someone wants to buy it. I am very pleased with my new Panasonic Lumix TZ10.

I’m not sure if the white fluff at the top is part of the horse chestnut flower or a passer by who got stuck.

This is my last daily photo with the old faithful Samsung NV11. My new Lumix TZ10 finally showed up today.

Next to the North Lawn. This sea of daffodils has seen better days, but still glorious.

Wood Anemones (68/365), originally uploaded by :Duncan.

I didn’t try to tidy up this woodland ground scene, so you get twigs, dry grasses, last year’s leaves and the vibrant new growth of grass, and these wood anemone leaves and delicate flowers. Up near the old gypsy caravan.

So many daffodils out this year. I really like these two-coloured ones.
