No One Can Beat Mother Nature

One of the major problems I am having with Vista is resizing pictures from my digital camera so it takes me a long time to load them on my blogs--I suppose I will have to read the chapter in my "Vista for Dummies" book!!! :O)

In any case I was walking around the grounds here at Gateway and took some pictures--these are only a few of the blooms we have all over the property--tried to get some of the roses but they were all buds.

Now I know what some of these are called--maybe you can fill in the ones I don't know!!

Hibiscus



Orchid



Royal Poinciana Tree



Queen crepe myrtle tree



Shrimp Plant



??????



Nope, not a lilac :O)



Red pipe flower ????



I forget the name of this--they are all over!



And none have an aroma--it is said due to the hot sun here!

Love those pics! You know how much I love flowers! (Maybe I was a flower child? Well, I was a flower girl when I was much younger! ) I have some trouble with pics when I download directly from the camera. I'm too lazy (not always, but often) for dealing with that, so I do what's easier and faster for me...I print out the pictures, scan them in (I edit when I scan because it takes less than a second). Those pics are perfect and ready for posting every time. It's only "certain" sites that make the actual posting a pain in the butt.

Great shots. I too suffer with Vista but it hasn't caused me any problems getting my photos onto my blog. How many megapixels is your camera? If I use my 5.1 mp digital, the photos transfer with no problem. If I use the 10 mp camera, I have to crop them significantly or I run into difficulty putting them into a post, tho' I have had no problems putting them into my photo gallery.

You might want to try to download irfranview. It's a free program I use that resizes pictures. It's very easy to use and very user friendly. Love the flowers...they are all so pretty
