Photo Sharing

Tumblr

 I have another blog to show off the photography of other artists.
A link to their site is always included.
Tumblr is a great site for sharing your love of photography!

Earth Album

I was surfing the net trying to find some way of using Google maps with a postcard album and found this site. Earth Album is a Flicker mash-up. You either click on the map or use the 'Jump to' search box, which I did. Found some really nice photos of Scotland and Bora Bora. Two places I hope to visit some day and take tons of photos.

You will find lots of great HDR photos from all over the world. They also include some descriptions of where or/and how the photo was taken.

They even have an iPhone, YouTube and Cooliris editions. Well worth a visit.

Cherry Rose Helianthus

Sunflower
Sunflowers are easy to grow and there are lots of varieties to choose from.
The seeds do not always match the photos on the packets.
I found a variety called Cherry Rose from the Ontario Seed Company.
This is a pollen-free variety popular with florists.
What grew out of mine, is more likely to be from the Fantasia Hybrid Mix (See photo).

I got another packet this year.
I'm hoping, that this time, they will be the actual Cherry Rose variety.
