Colours in my garden 2009 - more Purples.

Wow..... so many lovely flowers in your garden Bernieh......

This is the first year I've tried growing so many plants, Holly ... and I certainly had a lot of purple in my garden this year!!! Lol...definitely one of my favourite colours.

Who's a clever girl, would'nt know how to start to do this sort of thing, must admit i like purple aswell.

Hi Carol ... I just love fiddling around with Picasa. I amazed myself the first time I tried it ... I managed to work out how to use it without writing down step by step instructions!! Lol ... that's usually how I figure out new things.

Blimey when i wont to learn anything my daughter as to sit with me for ages and do one little bit at a time, dont ask her very often as she as her own home and works full time, i can manage with what she as learn me to do. dont know where her patients comes from when she shows me something as if it was other way round i would loss my rag with her big time.

Lol ... that's exactly how my youngest son originally taught me how to use a computer - lots of little steps! He also amazed me with his patience ... well for most of the time anyway! But since then I've just got more and more confident in my own abilities and now I'll try almost anything ... I even have an ipod now!

O blimey my brain can't keep up with all these things that keep coming out, waiting to see what comes out this year :o)))

I love purple too,Bernieh,it looks good with almost everything in the garden,especially fond of it amongst lime green foliage...
You make me smile with your comments,Clarice,..it could be me writing them ! Nice to have something in common:o))

:o))) LOL Me to Bloomer, thought there was only me. We will have to call ourselves two of a kind......

Make that three ! I have to bribe my daughters to help me - but I'm a man, so a soft touch. Don't even mention 'Dads Taxi' lol :-))

Yet another soft touch between Father and daughter.Russell is the same with ours.I couldn't go out New year,as had a cold,but her dad went to see them for a couple of hours,and was asked already if we would stay over with the baby NEXT new years eve,as have been invited to a wedding!...Baby not due till April,so hows that for forward planning!..He came back all smiles.Naturally he agreed,(and so did I).They know who to ask first though,don't they?;o))

You are right on that Bloomer, mind you my lot past that stage now its them having to babysit for there own children, think its turn tail on them all :o)))

A wonderful collection of colllages Bernieh.My word,you have been busy ! The whites are my favourites !

You have been playing Bernieh! What a lot of flowers you have in your garden...
Lovely collages, I just had a job opening one of them, the 2nd one, would it be a red collection? Just wouldn't load for some reason!

Hi Bernieh Love all your beautiful collages, so many different flowers, I like the white and purple ones best.

Thanks BB, Potty and Pansy ... I have been playing Potty ... I'm on holidays - what can I say! It's either too hot and muggy or it's raining, so I haven't been out in the garden much ... playing on my computer with my plant pics is the next best thing.

Berneih how do you reduce a colage that is 5 mb to 3mb so that its small enough to upload to Goy? its been driving me mad, managed to upload my New years Collage but the quality is so poor?

Pansy - I use Photoscape to resize my photos ... it's a free download and it's a great package for stitching photos or splitting photos as well. I use it all the time to resize my photos ... it's a lot quicker than others I've used!

Thanks Bernieh I will have a look at it xxx

Gorgeous flowers!! Purple's my favourite colour too :)

Thanks Elo15e ... I'm starting to get a little collection of them now.

Thanks Homebird ... yes I hadn't realised just how much I had tried to grow last year!

all the collages are beautiful I love them

Thanks Helen ... glad you enjoyed them!

Yes it's lots of fun Marguerite ... Photoscape and Picasa will allow you to choose different types of arrangements for each collage ... Photoscape has more choices though. You can choice any colour for the backgrounds on both, but Picasa will allow you to choose the width as well. Each one has it own virtues ... it's just a matter of playing around with each one and seeing what you can create.

LOVEEEEEE Purple plants!

Lol ... so do I, Angie. I seem to end up with quite a few, especially in my annuals.
