Off topic...sorry, I'm very sorry, but I just have to comment on the photos only.
Very nice pics!
Do you have a macro lens? I would love to see those flowers close up!
I have one for my iphone that works well. Not like the one for my Nikon D60, but good enough when I not plan to publish the pics on print.
Here is an example, pistils on my Super Skunk, taken with iphone + macro lens.
