THANKS TO BLOGGING FRIENDS

I have many things to thank my blogging friends for.

Karen An Artist's Garden for introducing me to blotanical.

Many of you for hint's on photography and advice on copy and pasting links.

Now I would like to thank Tatyana of My Secret Garden for her interesting and useful post on Make it tougher for thieves. I have figured out how to put my name on photos, I used my Canon Digital Photo Professional thanks also to Daughter Rebecca's help recently. I will be playing around to fine tune one wet winter's day.

Last but by no means least thanks to Catherine from A Gardener in Progress for her useful advice on posting larger pictures. I have long enjoyed and admired her lovely photos.

So my first attempt is of a November rose Rosemoor, such a delicate shade of pink and delicate petals with a strong old rose fragrance.

  4. Well done Joanne - you must be chuffed. I have worked out how to put my name to photos using Picasa but how did you make the photo larger?
    Would love to know. Do tell :)

  7. It turned out beautifully!! I have the Canon program so I think my next project will be to see if I can figure out the watermark on that.
    I hope I get a few pretty November roses like yours!

  11. Hi Joanne, isn't it exciting being on a learning curve and having so much encouragement and support? That photo is fantastic. Another blogger who has helped me is VW. I have awarded you the Truth scrap award. Cheers, catmint
    P.S. I'm nearly melting - it's only spring and already it's the third day with temperatures over 30!

  17. What a stunning photo!
    I bought myself a new camera yesterday, so I'll be out later practicing with it .... hope I can manage something vaguely near as good as this!

  18. A big congrats on mastering the large photo, Joanne! It looks great and I do believe having our name in the picture symies the thieves too. Garden bloggers are such a generous group. :-)

  19. Hi Joanne,
    well, it is nice to know that am not the only one who asks my daughter to help me with my blog! Love the rose, simply divine.
    I found you on Blotanical, such a treat to browse your blog.

  20. Thanks for all your comments as always much appreciated Anna I have e mailed directions.
    Rosey Pollen nice of you to pop by.
    You will be amused to hear I tried again today to put my name on a photo. I spent ages using the wrong program before realising how I had done it the other day. Just shows I should make notes because I never can remember what I did when it comes to IT.

  21. Lovely pic. I know what you mean when you said "make it tougher for thieves". I need to get back and do the name on photos again, only thing is it is time-consuming.

  22. I can almost smell that gorgeous rose... Thanks for all you share with us.

  23. Joanne, A big thank you to you for your recent post on my blog about blogging. New friends in blog-world are so special.

  24. Always something to learn...isn't there?
    Bigger pictures...so cool.
    Someday I'll be happier with my camera and pictures on my blog.
    We all have various reasons for slowing down doing post...mostly because the season is over.
    But sickness has to be the worst.
    Best wishes to you and hope your good days outweigh the bad.

  25. Joanne, your rose picture is very very beautiful. You are a fast learner. It takes a long time for me to figure out changes to my blog layout. The last time I asked another blogger how to post larger pictures, I was given the cold turkey. That was the last time she ever commented back or take notic of me! Luckily, there are many blotanists like you who share info unselfishly. Cheers to you, Joanne!
