I am a little slow when it comes to some technology – especially when I don’t know something can be done. I found I have a camera on my iPad (I know there are a lot of you thinking “Well, Duh!”) and by accident found out how to do it. So I was out in the garden the other day when we had a bit of sunshine before the next rain showers and I tried out my iPad. It took some finagling because I kept having the screen blocked – I found I had my finder over the lens. Plus I have a case it sits in and the cover was a bit of a problem because I have to make sure it doesn’t block the lens.
So there I was, one hand keeping the cover out of the way, holding the iPad with the other and trying to take pictures. It was hard to find a finger to push the shutter button and also not end up have it take three or four pictures in a row. Next thing I know, I am ready to take a selfie – now how did that happen and how do I go back to pictures of the garden. I finally figured that one out, then found I was doing square pictures – it’s been an experience and an education. Would you like to see what I took with my iPad? All I have to do is figure out how to down load them.
I just connected my iPad to my computer and guess what! The pictures on are on my computer. Will wonders never cease!
The Scillas in the porch flower bed are more profuse and thick than this photo
The blueberries are blossoming so I am hoping for a good crop.
The Scillas by the garage are doing very well.
They also are blooming by the corner of the garage and where the cherry trees were.
We don’t really have pear blossoms left after the wind and rain. We’ll wait to see if we have pears this year.
The apple tree had fared fairly well, all depends on how much the fruit set before the rain.
Even so, the apple blossoms are still lovely.
Delores bought a couple of tulips at the tulip fields up north last year – they are beautiful.
It was a sunny bit after the rain and before the next bout of rain.
As you can see, I did better than I expected, even managed to somehow turn it back to rectangular pictures. I also took photos with my camera, I’ll show you if there is a difference in the next post.
