I'm still trying out the zoom on my new camera and captured the reflection of this water lily at the Longstock Water Gardens. I spoke about our visit in the German group and like the German word for
water lily = Seerose.
Well I'd say the zoom is working pretty well! And I love German words for things - I studied the language for just 12 months when I was 14, and very little has stayed with me, apart from those glorious long nouns - schriebemachine, bushaltestelle and best of all bustenhalte! Spelling is probably dodgy after all this time!
Your spelling is pretty much on the ball as far as I can see! We were only commenting in German last week how we love the logic of the language including those long compound nouns!
Me neither - ah nenuphar - it popped into my head, shades of Claude Monet - think that's right. I'm upstairs on my netbook too lazy to go down for the dictionary to check and no accents on this machine - getting a new laptop tomorrow!!!
A great try and a beautiful results. Lovely capture of this wonderful Lily.
Onions can come from many countries. I remember I`ve sail/shipped them from Chili and bring them to Holland
It's very hard to get a new laptop without Windows 8 which I didn't want so we have gone to a loclal firm with a good reputation (Novatech - google it) and you can choose your operating system, we are having Windows 7 and the usual 15.6" screen.
I love how literal many of the German words are (think one of my favourites is speerwerfen!) This is very pretty you definitely seem to have got the hang of the zoom lens. Have a lovely weekend Hazel.
What I found interesting the other day when I decided to learn the difference is that die See (f) = the sea but that der See(m) is the lake - feminists at work?!
