July 28, 2013 -- celosia

This is celosia I harvested from the vegetable garden today. I actually pulled out a wheelbarrow-load of very tall, happy, blooming celosia plants, but they were shading out my veggies, so they had to go. I snipped these short stems from the discarded plants in the wheelbarrow.

I spent part of today trying to learn how to use a new camera, with limited success. Can't quite figure out how to focus it, and on the the automatic setting, the colors seem to cool. Oh, how I hate reading an owner's manual!
