Spent part of the afternoon getting to know my new Olympus E-P3 along with the 14-42 kit lens. The kit lens is not the greatest inside, but outside it shines. Shots were taken with either the Olympus m.14-42 or m.40-150 lens. Below are straight out of camera photos from the E-P3.
Hot Peppers, my favorite. I love everything hot and spicy.
Tomatoes; not a fan.
Yummy bell peppers. Next to onions, I can eat these chopped in everything.
I believe this is a Rose of Sharon. I'm probably wrong.
Flower box of impatiens on the deck.
Fenced In – I believe this is a Rose of Sharon as well.
