<p>Back to PN 1.0, I see, and the flurry of comments on 2.0 on last week's thread have disappeared. It'll be good to have the chance to evaluate a beta site before the next set of changes are implemented.</p>

<p>I'm still working slowly through my set of photographs from Devon, this time from The Garden House, a lovely garden in a small village called Buckland Monachorum on the edge of Dartmoor.</p>

<p>Howard and Hosteen, good pics. I get fascinated with the hummingbirds at our feeder. Those great bird pictures posted on PN are made more impressive by the difficulty in catching these kinda bad shots.</p><div></div>

<p>Students' union elections in Delhi University colleges generate an enormous amount of waste. Here is someone turning waste into income.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks, Howard and Randy.<br>

@Randy - you did much better with the hummingbirds than I can.</p>
