Our host for Outdoor Wednesday is Susan. Check out her outdoor pictures at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/. You will also get to her participants' sites from there.I was not planning to participate today because I am extremely busy. I am getting my mom ready and packed to go to St. Louis in 2 days, for my other sister's turn to watch her since I am going on a trip, so I am packing for myself too, not to mention getting all my Christmas decoration, shopping and wrapping done. On top of that, my mom got sick yesterday and you know when a 91 year mom gets sick, it makes us nervous. But amazingly, she woke up this morning normal. Prayers are so powerful, I tell ya!
But my new camera came and I got so excited that I just have to share some pictures with you. I bought, or actually depleted my Sony Visa rewards, to get a Sony DSC-TX1 digital camera which has a sweep panorama mode. I want to have it for my trip since we are cruising on the biggest ship of the world and I would like to capture its size and features as much as possible, on camera.
So to test it, I went out to take these pictures.
I think they are pretty cool, don't you? Thank you Susan, for allowing me to share these photos on Outdoor Wednesday and thank you all for coming for a visit.
Oh wow Christing, the pictures turned out gorgeous. I love how they really do cover a huge panoramic view. Of course you know that I think your yard is gorgeous. Hope to see you at the "Holiday Cloche Party" Friday. I know you're busy so if you can. Have a wonderful trip. Hugs, Marty

Very cool! Actually, I picked up my box today. Remember we have a post office box, and today was the first day I had the car in over a week. (We have another, a southern T-Bird that doesn't work here in winter so don't feel sorry for me :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love love love everything. I took pictures and am going to post on Pink Saturday, I think. I want to make sure more people visit. Will also have to go back and see what to do next.
Thank you so much. So sweet. So fun.
That's really neat, Christine! Love this panorama shot.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope your dear mother is better.
Happy Outdoor Wed!
