Your dahlias are great - I think they are my second favourite flower after daisies.
Were supposed to have a wet weekend aswell but so far its only been overcast & cold, no rain yet ;-)
Wow. Are they all from your garden?
What a beautiful collage, Mary!
Your flowers are gorgeous!
You made it with Picasa? Is it difficult? May you give me some tips? Would be great! Thank you!
Alas no the Dahlias and waterlilies are from a Visit to Hinton Ampner gardens. The Orchid is in my house though!
Sonia if you have picasa it is really easy to make the collage. You just click on the photos you want pressing the hold button to keep them in the tray and then you press the collage button.Magically a collage appears which you can save on your computer.Picasa also lets you crop and alter the colours and brightness.
Thanks so much, Mary! I will try to do the collage. Have a lovely week!
