Fotolog
I
post some of the better shots I make using the Abbey Web Office's new
(2007), Panasonic™ Lumix DMC-LX7® at "Cybermonk Fotolog." The LZ7 replaces the
obsolescent Canon™ Super Shot G3® digital camera from 2003.
The photo on the right shows Cypripedium reginae, also know as the pink and white moccasin flower, or "Showy Lady Slipper." It was adopted as the official state flower of Minnesota on 19 February 1902 and appears in the Arms of the State of Minnesota.
