For those of you who have been wondering about my camera, these pictures—along with all of the photos I've posted on Farmgirl Fare and In My Kitchen Garden during the past two and a half years—were taken with the little point and shoot Canon PowerShot A630 that is almost always strapped around my neck.

Just as Busy as the Bees

See the comments section for notes about my beloved point and shoot camera and how I took this photo (no technical expertise required!).
