UPS Delivers on MLK day New Camera

 OK UPS came today so now I am the proud owner of a point and shoot camera.  Here are my fist test pictures.  I have not used it outside of digital microscope mode yet.  I think this waterproof  camera will be perfect for taking up close pictures of moss on a rainy day.  This will also help me when I am drawing pictures of mosses.  I will do the same as I did for my fungi class,  blow up the image on my computer and draw it.  That's much nicer than using a hand lens or trying to draw under a microscope in a room without enough space to draw in.

You can see the 5 lens lights in Patches eye, these are for taking micro photos

The moss on my husband's car, this is the first time I noticed the sporophytes on it

By far the clearest picture I have taken of the tiny white-tipped moss on my car

Sporophytes on what I think is Oregon Beak moss

My first liverwort note the capsule on the left

I did not see these capsules on this liverwort until I looked at the photos
