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,

Love and hugs, Sarah xoxoxo

Ooh Look, A Wedding

Are you sitting comfortably? You'll need to because I'm about to bore you with wedding photos :D

My youngest sister Jo got married Saturday 14th March to Mark and; as always, I had my camera at the ready. One of my friends has e-mailed me to ask if I have photos on my blog, so here they are. I've managed to choose just a few from the 350 I took!!! Even the newly-weds haven't seen any photos yet as they're on honeymoon and don't get home until this Friday night.

We all had an absolutely wonderful day. Everyone looked amazing, the flowers were beautiful, the weather was warm and dry, the food delicious and there were smiles all round from beginning to end. Ok, Jo had a tear just as they were setting off on honeymoon, but it was more from sheer exhaustion than anything else.

Before any of you ask, the bridesmaids are not related. The eldest is our niece and the youngest is the daughter of a friend of Jo & Mark's from their church.

Jo had been a bride as one half of a fancy dress couple as a child.

Mum enlisted my help to enlarge the photos ready for her speech.

They worked a treat as you can see by Jo's very quickly hidden face! LOL

They wanted a chocolate cake and even the icing was chocolate flavoured

Thanks for looking and making it to the end.

Take care, love and hugs

Flooded

I spent my first 8 and a half years in a village 6 miles from Ely and at the top of a hill leading to 'The Gault'. At certain times of the year the road at the bottom is flooded which means that my mum's cousins who own a farm the other side, have to travel miles to get to the local shop. One of my sisters lives in that same village with her family and after going to see her today I took a ride to see the latest floods. The foot-bridge you can see here has the road to the side which is currently under water and all photos are of the view from that bridge.

Thanks for looking

Daisy - 1 year on

When this photo was taken, mum had had Daiy for just over a year. Mum's a home carer and one of her ladies is a dog lover. The lady bought Daisy a new blanket for Christmas. It was funny watching her making it her own as she sniffed every inch of it before rolling up in it as if to say "yeah, it's ok, I like it and you're not having it" LOL Here she is a little later sitting proudly on it after bundling it up like she does.

This is one of Daisy's favourite places to be. By mum's feet with one of her toys. I tried moving the chair to get a better photo, but she'd come out if I did. Camera shy I think.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xoxo

UKS Whodunnit Cyber Crop

I took part in the UKScrappers Whodunnit Cyber Crop at the week-end. On my ramblings blog are the many craft items I made and here are the photos I took for some of the challenges:

Photograph your slippers and morning cuppa -
My slipper socks (I just love those crochet flowers) with one of several daily glasses of water

Step away from the desk! -
Would you believe my stash used to fit in the purple box under the desk?!?!?!

Snow on the ground and at midnight we were challenged to take an outdoor photo!

This is from the far end of the garden. I went out in summer style shoes, trousers and a t-shirt and crunched through the snow to get this shot! Goosebumps on goosebumps and snow in the shoes by the end LOL

Photo of your 'Special Branch'
Who else, but my Mum. As she wasn't here, here's a photo I took of a framed photo I have of her. She's famous for wearing hats at weddings and I just love that one don't you?

Certainly some different photographic challenges there and it was all great fun. There were 2 photo challenges I didn't take part in and they were - someone sleeping and you and your teddy. There was no-one here I could photograph sleeping and I don't have a teddy :(

Thank you for looking

Take care, love and hugs

Alexander Palace

Some of you will know I was at Alexander Palace at the end of September this year for the Big Stamping and Scrapbooking show. My friends and I took some photographs when we first arrived and some more before we left. Here's a selection of those I took:

I've cropped the next photo to focus on what it says

Thank you for looking

Love and hugs

Frosty Morning

I went out the other morning at about 7:30am to take David to work so I could have the car for the day. We were met with the first of a few consecutive frosty mornings. Here's what greeted us and I hope you've got your scarf and gloves on.
