      Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂

      As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
