| Passion Flower, Garden for the Environment |
A couple of things I noticed with the new FZ80D that I somehow failed to notice on Wednesday are that the ISO goes to 3200, and the faster SD card still leaves plenty of shutter lag. And I also had to figure out how to make the 1-Area focus square smaller. Thankfully all the info needed to make such adjustments is in the online manual. Another welcome feature on the new model is the USB-C connection. Finally my phone, tablet, and camera all plug in with the same cable.

| All the previous shots came out of the Garden for the Environment, but this shot of a robin in an Autumn Olive (Elaegnus umbellata) was from Golden Gate Park. |

| The robins were skittish and too fast for me, even with the ISO cranked up to 3200 as it is here. I never got a clean shot of a robin with one of the berries in its beak. I only learned what the plant was after I got home, but the berries are edible to humans as well as robins (but watch out for the hard seeds). |

| The Townsend's warblers have been eluding me since they recently started showing up more. I've been unable to get a clean photo. Still, I liked this shot anyway, with a spider snare in a cypress tree (in the park's Oak Woodland area). |
