This post may annoy you. . . . . . . . . because I'm posting very large photos!
I know some people have a lengthy wait to download photos depending on
their Internet/WIFI capabilities etc., and that must be really tiresome.
Personally I've no problem downloading content (we have Google Fiber WIFI)
and I do love seeing the large detailed photos which several of you post.
If you use a smartphone or tablet instead of a larger computer screen,
it may be hard to view really large photos.
So this is an experiment of sorts because I have a new iPhone11 Pro and went wild
with it in the garden the past couple of days! I have to say the new triple-camera on
this phone is awesome (includes a telephoto lens) but more than an extra lens it also
precisely calibrates white balance and exposure. I'm no techie but do now feel I
could probably even travel with just this iPhone and leave my camera at home!
Of course travel is only a dream right now so forgive me if I start to bore you silly
with so many photos taken in the garden!
So I've added a few photos both in X-Large and Original display which
gives you a general idea as to the difference.
Which is better, this one. . . . . . . . . . .
......or this one?
(Kinda like when you go to the eye doctor for a check up!)
I'm going to try some dahlias this summer, picked these up at COSTCO - love them
but haven't grown them since a child in England - my mother grew 'dinner plate'
ones and they were fabulous.
Morning Glory seedlings - will be trained to climb up the porch later.
The garden surprise of the week - my two salmon colored Amaryllis from
Winter 2018, have decided to come back to life after being planted out over a
year ago! I told you gardening takes a lot of patience.
Climbing rose on the back fence.
Basil seedlings sharing a pot of petunias and ornamental ivy planted two weeks ago.
One and only native rhododendron blooming in back garden.
Peony buds looking healthy with plenty of necessary ants helping them to eventually
opening those beautiful petals.
Trumpet vine almost over but clematis and roses have arrived.
So will you please let me know which size photos you like best of the
two formats - X-Large (which is the smaller) or Original (the larger).
We've had a few crazy days, first with TV problems! Then getting out to shop for food,
and pick up the phone at COSTCO in a horrendous soaking rain. When we got home
and I had spent two hours transferring my data (no easy task for moi) to my new
phone and started to transfer Bob's phone to my old phone, I noticed I had the wrong
new phone, and had to go back to exchange the next day (all that took several
hours wearing humid masks in COSTCO (I don't like the tropics and I thought I
would faint if I got much warmer!). . . . . . and I was told off for "idling" (just sitting
for a few minutes) on the garden furniture display near the Verizon kiosk
because my legs ached!
Today is much better - watered my seeds, pruned climbing roses that are climbing
into my hydrangeas, playing with the camera photos. Now off to make potato leek soup,
and salmon with fresh skinny asparagus because my skinny days are becoming chubby
I fear with not enough exercise. . . . . . .and eating too much home-baked bread!!!!!
What will the 'new world' be like?
Are you wondering?
Are you nervous?
Which size photos do you prefer please?
