Great close up Newfie

thanks gilli

A lovely spring flower. Nice pic Newfie.

thanks, toto...thoughts of my old camera are quickly fading..lol..

Glad to hear it. Gave you a good excuse to buy a new one too.

Good shot, looks like a purple cone!

It is really nice. Great form. New camera performing well. :-)

yes greenthumb..I was planning on getting a much better camera next time round, but didn't plan on it so early. Since I will be ON STRIKE next week, I didn't think now was the time to spend a whole lotta money on an expensive camera. But it is still a nice camera.

Oh boy.....on strike next week? Good luck Newfie....hope they can settle things quickly.

Yes Gilli, strike begins 730 am weds morning...I begin picket duty at 10 am that morning. Keep your eyes open, you might see me on national news. Ha,ha...Sadly, the strike is not about money, that has long been settled, or was, the premier now says that money offer is off that table!
This will get nasty!

Well, I guess you are now on strike and have done picket duty. Your premier sounds a bit like ours. When he got in back in 2001?? he ripped up our contract for the Health Employees Union which had been signed and settled months previously by the previous government (NDP). Totally illegal but I guess when you're premier you think you can do anything you want.

Oh Gilli..
The premier called our union leader 9 pm the night before the strike was due...A deal was reached just 2 hours before the strike was to start!
Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That's great Newfie. I'm happy you don't have to strike after all. What a relief that must be. :o)
