LOL, I am glad I chose a good picture for you then Becky! This is one of my attempts, with the new camera I received at Christmas, to take a picture of a flower. I have never focused on this before, and I noticed some people can really get some beautiful pictures.
Cheryl, your rose is lovely. I am amazed at how difficult it is to take a sharp close-up of a flower. As a gardener...when I'm not doing genealogy....I take loads of photos of flowers, but am disappointed when I download them and have a good look at them on my computer screen. Good work!
It is difficult taking a picture of a flower! I had no idea how difficult until I really tried. This is one of the pictures that surprised me though. Thank you for commenting!
I finally took time yesterday to do something I have been wanting to do for awhile now. It has been several years since I started genealogy and blogging. Many cousins have been found. But, how many? Who? I have not kept any kind of system to log these cousin contacts. I was past due, do I even remember all of them? Well, that was the goal here. I started a spreadsheet of "Cousins Found."

I am following Tonia's Roots as she brings several GeneaBloggers through 31 weeks of working towards a better blog, prompts written by Darren Rowse. Here is this weeks challenge adapted from Darren Rowse's daily challenges which Tonia is doing as weekly challenges: Ever run out of things to write about on your blog? If your answer is yes – you’re not alone. This weeks's task is to do an exercise that will identify a range of post ideas that you can use when stuck for an idea in future. The key with this process is not to put yourself under pressure to come up with completely new and out of the blue ideas for every post you write. Instead – this process taps into what you’ve recently written on your blog and helps you to identify ways to extend those ideas. Here’s the mind mapping method that I’ve used (note: I’ve talked about this previously so it could be familiar to some). 1. The Set Up Get a whiteboard, piece of paper, note book, tablet pc or some...
