I'm always up to trading. There are several others on OB with whom I've been trading. When the weather warms a bit I'll list some things of which I have keikis or divisions.

What a gorgeous flower! I love reds!!

Ron, I was looking through your Flickr account and am so envious of your shooting skills! All pictures are shot so beautifully! I thought I would be able to get shots like that when I got my DSLR, but alas, that wasn't the case. Your pictures inspire me!

Amanda, I'm convinced that anyone can take good pictures if they just learn a few basic techniques and keep at it, so don't give up especially when a picture doesn't turn out. I usually have any number of them that I discard, sometimes a half a dozen for every picture I keep! There are some tips here: A GOOD PHOTO BLOOMS FOREVER - Orchid Board, but I would say a good background, decent lighting (which can be nothing more than a convenient window) and perseverance are the main things.
