A Panorama

Sure, why not.


Tada! Be sure to click on the picture for the full size.

Umm....This is a lake. My camera has this sorta-cool mode where it takes three pictures and then 'attempts' to stitch them together. I say 'attempts' because about half the time, it fails, and things end up not lined up. I sometimes wonder if I should just take the three pictures and stitch them together myself. Then I'd get it right 100% of the time. Though, I have to say, when these do work, they're very well stitched together--it smooths out imperfections and jumps and bumps and stuff. So yeah.....

Sorry for the lack of postage the past few days; stay tuned for more flowers and naturey stuff in the near future. Or maybe a cityscape.....I'm going to try and get a cityscape or two in here soon.

Encore

Two more flowers that I didn't post yesterday:



 I believe the top one is still a daylily of some sort...but it was really crazy looking. The bottom one is one of the same daylilies from yesterday. 

That's all!

Sticking my camera way too close to flowers

So, I have these daylilies.....And they started blooming. So I took pictures.








As always, these are slightly edited....I of course upped the color and contrast, which I felt was appropriate for such colorful flowers, and I really like the results. As usual....I think I use super-macro mode way too much. And then I tell myself....Too bad! I think the pictures look cool, and I can't argue with that....Because then I'd be arguing with myself. Anywho...

So, in the past few days, I've had a massive increase in traffic to this blog. It's mostly due to stumbleupon. So greetings fellow Stumblers!
Seriously, I went from about 800 pageviews and <100 stumbles last week, to an amazing 9108 pageviews and 3175 stumbles as of right now! I was at 8000 pageviews about an hour ago, so I'm truly amazed. Thank you stumblers!

As usual, let me know what you think of the photos (I really like the purple ones).
