I apologise for the poor quality of these photos as they came off my phone. I've recently purchased a new camera, but haven't really had the time so sit down and get used to working with it. I appreciate your patience as I sort things through.  That beast weighs a tonne! I need a new tripod as my old one would never hold it-even without the lens and flash.

Yikes. So that was fun. I did find some lower-end pottery as well...  I do love a bit of California Pottery. I already had the peach tray, so I had to buy the strawberries. This set me back $4.00, but I'm not complaing. I use my California pottery pieces. Let's pause for a butterfly break. We saw both of these at Wherespan lake on Friday. It was a beautiful day.
