"Stitches" of Green Meadows Preserve

The above three photos are of the Green Meadows Preserve House, Garden and Orchard taken in February, March and September of 2013.  Standing in the same spot, 6 images are 'stitched' together to make each photograph using a wide angle lens, a tripod with both bubble levels level, a remote shutter release, and f16.  (Except I think I forgot the f16 part today and used an f11 for the bottom photo because it's not as crisp.  Whatever . . . that's a lot to remember from six months ago.)  All that's needed are 'stitches' of the leaves turning (Nov.) and snow (Jan. 7th - that's my prediction for the first snow of 2014.)  I wonder if it's possible to do a photo with a full moon lighting the landscape.?.  If you see me out there one night, honk!

My Little Compost Pile Pays Off !

One wheelbarrow of compost = more than $20 of bagged soil!  Next year the payoff will be quadrupled because I've doubled the compost space and both hubby and I swear we'll recycle triple the kitchen waste.

Just think what I could accomplish if I just tried!  Thank you, Dr. G!
