flower photography – Page 4 – don't confuse the narrator

more flowers, fewer words

Recent posts seem to have been quite text heavy – somewhere around six or seven hundred words each for the last six posts. So perhaps it’s time to fall back on photos again, especially given the season and the fact we’ve had some decent weather and I’ve had a fair number of opportunities to take pictures.

One sentence in the article particularly caught my eye. (I note it has been corrected since I took the screenshot).
