I loved my old monitor. It wasn't really old, just previous. But for accuracy in photo work I needed a different monitor, one that could be calibrated better. Hooray for eBay, I got a used NEC MultiSync LCD 2090UXi for $96 plus shipping. It arrived today.
I can see the difference. My old monitor would vary tremendously depending on the slightest change in viewing angle. This one has essentially no difference regardless of angle! Wow!
Enough about technicalities... on with the show!
Today's post is about a recent trip to Gainesville to visit my son, David. I took two digital cameras so we could go photo expeditioning. Our first stop was Kanapaha Botanical Gardens at 3pm, just 2 hours before closing time. I am not a morning person, and Gainesville is about a 1 1/2 hours drive from Homosassa.

Still, there was plenty of time to see the lovely gardens.
There is a labyrinth just inside the gardens as you exit the office/ticket/gift shop building (also the location of the only rest room!)
We paused to photograph the peaceful Buddha...





The highlight of the garden is the giant lily pads. I took a kajillion photos of them. They were in bloom. Bonus! Here are a couple you might enjoy:
The garden's early closing time left sufficient light for another photo expedition, so we went to Newnan's Lake on the east side of Gainesville to watch the sunset. Neither of us had been there before.
