:D For some reason the phone decided to take video and I quite liked the slightly waving sunflowers. I did actually do a pan/video but it's a silly file size.

(The phone camera is just bonkers, burst shots, video, optimised by :angry-cussingblack: Bixby etc. Lordy be..all I want is to take snaps. If I wanted to go all David Bailey I'd lug a camera around. :( )

I had all the Olympus kit and got fed up with it. It felt like I was accompanying it on holiday sometimes. However, I am going to dig out my little Sony digital camera which is small, light, fits in a pocket and is pretty good optically. :thumbup:

My fave bar is next to the best steak house in town. One of the ladies who works there loves Elvis, my Springer Spaniel.
If she sees us sat outside she always gathers scraps and leftovers for him.
But tonight she excelled. Two huge dreams were sent back and she brought them out, still warm. He'd had some treats from another girl so brought them home. Thick, juicy and heavy.
