Random recent pics, mostly flowers and dogs (Liesje)

All of the pics in this thread were taking on the AUTO setting, lol.  I typically don't change it unless I have a specific reason.  *Sometimes* I change it to the sport scene if I'm shooting the dogs, depending on the light.  I rarely use flash, but when I do I switch to Program mode b/c I get better results with the native flash (leaving it on AUTO washes out the objects in the front of the pic and gives bad demon eye).  I change my focus a lot more (go between AF, AF macro, and manual).  Indoors with little to no sunlight and no flash takes some tweaking, but 90% of my pics are outdoors with sufficient light for the AUTO setting.

Someone after my own heart! I love taking photos of nature and just, well, general everything! I think we need a general photography thread, for us all to share our favorite photography shots.
