I have some things I am juggling right now besides this. I will explain a little about the test now and then more later. It has a little bit to do with going between different devices. I am so sorry if any posts contained grainy images, I never would have posted them. I have always made color and clarity a priority. It just may have not worked out that way. All of the above pictures were taken on a good camera and uploaded with a computer.

May many blessings come your way soon!

I only see beautiful blooms Sharon! I hate tests you know

I know I hate tests , too! Sometimes I accidentally hit finished, just in case I did I put that test note.. Those pictures with the test note should be fine no matter what device they are viewed on. Camera to computer the images are good and view good on tablets and phones. They are "condensed" not compressed. Today for the first time I viewed NGA on a computer. I was also playing around with pics and columns, etc. That is when I noticed not all tablet pictures have the same clarity on the computer. In fact clear dimensional pictures from my tablet looked grainy and blurred on the computer. They were fine pictures for phones and other tablets. So I was playing around with things and deleting. I have come to the conclusion I will have to start taking pictures with a camera. (which my daughter keeps saying I told you) If I keep using my tablet they have to be absolutely so perfect, but they still may blur when viewed on a larger devices screen. I think some of my plant photos should not have been entered into the data base. Viewed on a computer they do not look as good as on a tablet.
Hopefully my rambling made sense.

And there will be a cute dog story coming!

May happiness and kindness surround you!

You made perfect sense

Hi! May you be showered in kindness today!

This Sweetheart is almost 15 years old. She is perfectly rodent/squirrel colored.


From the time she was a little puppy, people would ask, what kind of an animal is that? But it was not what people were wondering that we needed to worry about. The squirrels wondered what she was. They would come up and chatter at her. Squirrels would follow us around, constantly chattering, " Hey, show us your squirrel" If a squirrel is ever near she gets very quiet, still and wants to be held. All the other dogs bark and go nuts over the squirrels. She tries to tell them ignore the squirrels, act like they are not there. Which I think adds to her allure!
On numerous occasions we have been chased by squirrels trying to get her. Once my daughter thought the squirrel was going to run up her leg. We finally figured it out. It happens mostly in the spring and it's always a male squirrel. They think she is a prized female squirrel, with bigger ears, bigger pronounced face.nicer legs!


May you have a simply marvelous day! You are valued!

Love the story

May today contain the blessings of goodness and joy!
I had such good intentions of using the camera this morning. But it rained and rained all this morning.

Lilium Tiny Todd the heavy rains have really been shorting the lily season. These just change colors, have not lost petals.

Hi! May you receive extra special blessings this month!

This is still part of my test. I took two pictures of Dream Blue this morning. One with my point and shoot camera and one with my tablet.
This one on the left is with the camera. This right one was with the tablet.

*Picture on right (tablet) the color is more true to bloom

Thank You for your time and help!

Later if you have time let me know which one was the better picture and what type of device you viewed it on, phone, I-pad, Tablet, or computer. I appreciate your help.


May happiness be at your doorstep!

Sharon I'm using my iPad and the one on the right is sharper. Definitely the tablet.

Beautiful blooms, the little dog story. I like the tablet photo. My computer.

Ginny--

These are today's blooms. The second row are their blooms from earlier this year.

These are photos of my ugly duckling daylily, slowly but surely turning into something nice-- Peacock Maiden!



May everyday hold some kind of wonderful for you!

Beautiful

Looks great, Sharon.

Hi! May Today bring happiness into your life!

Pot Partner Battles -- I grow some of my daylilies in pots (very large containers) and this is their story.

If you click on the first picture, you can see the three together. They look very nice together as a group. Even better in person!
All three were brand-new to my garden via a purchase from two other members this year. top right picture is Margo Reed Indeed seems to be doing well. Huge white bloom.
bottom left is Lizard's Birthday Bow. Gorgeous bloom. Only one scap this year. Healthy looking I give it an OK for now. Bottom right is All Of My Love To You! Every flower has been gorgeous! I definitely this one a I am leaving this group together for another year!
Below them is another picture of AOMLTY. The color range of the blooms falls between both. A light butter yellow daylily, Winning Ways is planted around the container and peaks up!





This group is together but in a different way. Roses In Snow and Kansas Kitten were stunning together. They have a third partner which did not bloom this year. Right below them in the ground is this NOID. Thinking I may swap the nonbloomer and Noid out! Roses in Snow striking Kansas Kitten always a good garden choice. Noid very unusual daylily pictures do not do it justice!




You add so much value to this world, may you and your garden grow in beauty!
