Hello!

I started this blog to upload my own photos so that i could participate in other photo blogs to submit to. Life has gotten in the way, as it does sometimes.

I like taking photos of a lot of things I find interesting.. mostly flowers. I also have another blog "Phlower Power" to show off my flower photos.

The Photo Blogs I submit to are in the sidebar. I hope I've piqued your interest.

Thanks for stopping by........

The latest Bloggers Community Photo Challenge is Transportation

This is our dead tractor. It died while tilling a field.  We got it fixed, we're happy, but our garden isn't planted yet!

Reviewing a Photo Book

I love Photo Books. They are Photographer's Bliss. They're an elegant way to display your digital photos, besides a slideshow online or on a DVD to show on TV. The latter sounds too much like home movies/slides.  A book you can just place on the coffee table and guests can view them at will. If you get too many, start a library, or you could alternate a book or two once in a while on the coffee table.

I made a Photo Book. It wasn't exactly fun, but I enjoyed it. I like the final results more than the process.  Lar and I went on a little vacation up north to Kabetogama Lake. It was a perfect opportunity to try it out.  I have 40 pages of multiple photos in a 8x10 book. I like it better than scrap-booking. I never was one for that. I'm a minimalist, when it comes to photo scrape books. I don't like all that clutter. And with building your own photo book online, you can do it your way.



The next one I make will be of the Shute Bear Sanctuary. (Up-Nort)
