The cone-flowers are in bloom and the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds love them! Taken with my little Panasonic pocket-cam (DMC-SZ3) in AF macro mode.

The ether of general relativity therefore differs from that of classical mechanics or the special theory of relativity respectively, in so far as it is not 'absolute', but is determined in its locally variable properties by ponderable matter.

Thanks to you both. That little camera has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. When we adopted Duke, my individual forays with the Canon gear dropped off sharply, so I needed a pocket-cam. The Panasonic filled the bill nicely.

Pocket cam??? I never would have guessed. I especially like the detail and reflection in the wings. The color is nice too.
