Photographers Are Tired of Big Cameras Big specs and tons of megapixels used to sell cameras. Now, data shows that photographers care more about compact size than anything else.

From Mark Goldstein:

The roses and peonies are in full bloom now at the Stevens Coolidge Estate in North Andover (https://thetrustees.org/place/stevens-coolidge-house-and-gardens/ ). The irises are still putting on a good display.

Here are some photos from Wednesday, June 10. Other summer flowers are opening up, too.

Great story!
