Tulips

Mum came to visit this last Sunday and brought me some gorgeous red tulips. I was given a tip by her to prick the stem just under each head to keep them upright. Must say, it worked as it's now Wednesday and they're still relatively good.

I Just Love This Panorama Photo Programme

David bought a new camera at the week-end. Turns out it's a model up from mine. Do you think he'll notice if I swap??? With the camera, he got a disc of programmes and one of those being a Panorama Photo Maker. I tested it out with 5 photos I took of my Mum's village a couple of years ago. I did a LO with them by sticking them together, but this programme does it seamlessly.

Here's the LO with the 5 photos

Here's the Panorama Programme's edited photo

Computer programmes never cease to amaze me. I can see me using this programme several times.

Thanks for looking,

Aargh..... With A Happy Ending

Some of you already know that I've had a saga with my camera. I took the SIM card out to use in the card reader (as usual) and it wouldn't lock into place once I put it back. Thankfully, I'd had the camera exactly 51 weeks, so was just inside the guarantee. I was told by Kodak to take it back to Argos and they'd arrange for it to be picked up and taken to be mended within 2-3 weeks. So I did. I decided to ring Kodak on Monday (just over 2 weeks later) to see how it was doing. Just as well I did because the didn't even have it. After a call to Argos, it turned out that they had my camera still. A few (carefully chosen polite) words from me and they offered me a voucher to the value of what I paid for it. I added some birthday money to it (that I was sent early) and got myself a new 10MPX Hitachi HDC-1086E digital camera. Ok, I know it's still basic compared to what several people have nowadays, but I'm not used to having anything that's the latest hi-tech, all-singing, all-dancing, expensive piece of gadget around, but to me it's brilliant.

I had a little play with the buttons, then decided to test it out. Here's the first photo I took with it yesterday afternoon.

I'm guessing there'll be many more to come. Watch this space.

Daisy, Daisy

Are any of you like me and just love this time of year? Spring, new life, birds building nests, flowers budding, grass growing and hayfever!! Well, we can't have it all can we? So, I bring you this post surrounded by tissues and I type between sneezes. LOL

I love seeing daisies growing in the grass and hate the fact that they get chopped every time the grass is mowed. Last month's photography challenge on UKScrappers was to photograph flowers, so I went into our garden with my camera and here's a couple of shots I took.

Yes, the grass needs cutting, but you're meant to be looking at the daisies!! lol

Talk About Random!!!!!

I was photographing some cards I'd made a little earlier and adjusting the setting on my camera when my finger hit the trigger and I'd taken a random shot. What of, I had no idea until I looked in the screen. Some of you will have seen photographs of my craft area already, but here's a shot of it from a view that only my desk usually sees. I did tell you it was random!!!!!

Love and hugs
