Front yard (garden) craptastic panoramic... by marlboromaam

Front yard (garden) craptastic panoramic...

LOL! I tried! It's distorted and the house is NOT at that angle to the yard. The pines are really crappy and duplicated in the top center right of the frame. I did use a tripod, too. Oh well, live and learn. Will have to practice with the panoramic mode on my camera. Wanted to give you an idea of why it took me so long in the front and still, this isn't all of the front yard. I lost count of all the shrubs I've trimmed and cut way back. Trees will have to be trimmed this fall, too. But all trimmed, raked and mowed for the moment. Still need to run the weed whacker, too. Bigger priorities in the back yard this coming week though - more ivy vines to pull and more leaves to rake, etc.
At least you figured it out! More practice will equal perfection! I can't even figure out how to do it, lol!!!

You have a gorgeous yard. Your hard work has paid off. I hope you are resting today!
April 15th, 2012  
I thinks it a fab shot, your yard is beautiful! Don't work too hard, mke sure you rest! It is Sunday after all :)
April 15th, 2012  
I'm reading your critisims of your pic while looking at it in thumbnail and wondering "What is she talking about?" it looks fine. Then I view it large...and it looks GREAT!! I'm scratching my head ma'am. And I thought I was my own worst critic LOL!
April 15th, 2012  
it looks really cool...who says it has to be "accurate"?... and man, the work around that place....wow..
April 15th, 2012  
@amoment Thank you for your kind comments, Jessica! Will have to get out and the manual and re-read it all again.

@memejanetx3 I am resting today, Janet! My bones ache. LOL! Thank you for your most kind comments and visit! Always appreciated!

@lizzy_lu123 Resting today, Lisa! Too tired for much of anything else. Thank you for your kind comments! Always appreciated and grateful to have them!

@cromwell LOL! If you can't see the distortion and duplication, then that's good! It does have these flaws though. Thank you so much for your comments, Cromwell! Most grateful to have them!

@joeboxster Aww! Thank you, Joe! Lots of work, I know! Appreciate your comments and visit, as always!
April 15th, 2012  
Well, I like this picture alot. Maybe it doesn't look like your yard, but we don't know that. The image is amazing! I think I may try a panorama today! Hmmmm
April 15th, 2012  
@sharritta I really appreciate your kind comments, Sharon! Thank you so much and do give it a try! Hope you do much better than I did! =)
April 15th, 2012  
@marlboromaam your too critical. This is a good image!
April 15th, 2012  
Fantastic job ... my gosh, girl. How much land do you have there?!! And this is only the front?!! Please remember that you need to get some rest before you start in on the back! This is so beautiful. I love your home! Great pano. :)
April 15th, 2012  
I am in awe of your beautiful house and gardens. It is like a park, and looks so green with fresh growth. Just wonderful
April 15th, 2012  
Wow i thought my garden was a handful , ..(O; I could spend hours in yours ...lol... love the pano well done good try (o;
April 15th, 2012  
wow, what a nice yard!! Very nice picture!
April 15th, 2012  
It looks fine to me too, what a great place you have!!
April 15th, 2012  
it's a lovely capture of a lovely garden of a lovely lady....
April 15th, 2012  
Wow. I am so impressed. Great job. You have a lovely yard.
April 15th, 2012  
I like it.
April 15th, 2012  
eva
Wow! That's an impressive garden you have!! It looks so well kept and cared for. Like the panorama - with or without flaws, to me it looks pretty perfect.
April 15th, 2012  
@sharritta LOL! I maybe. =)

@karenann 2.53 acres all together. Yep, not even all of the front. LOL! I am just resting today. My bones ache and I can't close my hands into a fist - they're so swollen from pulling up ivy vines. You, do? So does this mean that when things are done, if I still own the place - you'll come visit me? Ha ha! Thank you, Karen! Appreciate your sweet comments and visit, as always! Hugs!

@peterdegraaff A park! Really? LOL! I never thought that! Thank you for your kind comments, Peter! So appreciated!

@steveh Aww! Thank you, Steve! So you could spend hours in it? LOL! Maybe you and Linda would like to trade houses for a couple of weeks when mine is all finished? Ha ha! JK! Appreciate your kind comments and visit, as always!

Looks like good weather for it! Love the tones. You'be done a great job! Once you're done, any chances of sorting mine out?
April 15th, 2012  
@emmac LOL! I have the back yard to do now. Just do a little every day, Emma and it gets done. Set reachable goals that you know you can do each day so you're satisfied that you've met them at the end of the day. Thank your for your comments! Most appreciated!
April 15th, 2012  
Me, my poncho and my sleeping bag are coming to live in your front yard. I will work for you haha. Its a lovely panoramic view and without your own honest opinion everything looks as it should to some one who is not familiar with the view, its picture perfect if you ask me. I'll not moan about my small plot ever again now that I have seen the extent of your plot.
April 15th, 2012  
It looks lovely!
April 15th, 2012  
@justeddie LOL! I really could use some help but, unemployed in this blood sucking economy, I can't afford any help. I wish I could though! Ha ha! No, don't moan if your yard is smaller than this one. Now I've got to get to work on the back yard. Really appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments, Eddie! Thank you!
April 15th, 2012  
@beckys Thank you so much, Becky!
April 15th, 2012  
@marlboromaam Do you grow your own? I'd love to live off the land, I grow small amounts and could probably do a lot more. Its time to scrap the economic system and get back to basics, self sufficiency and trade!
April 15th, 2012  
Looks like all your hard work is paying off. So beautiful.
April 15th, 2012  
It is a beautiful yard.
April 15th, 2012  
Your definition of craptastic must be very different to mine! ;) this is a lovely shot and you have a lovely garden/yard, its so big! no wonder you work so hard - fab!
April 15th, 2012  
It's a great portray of the work you have done, lovely capture
April 15th, 2012  
Beautiful!
April 15th, 2012  
Your yard is beautiful!! What a pretty place to call home! Thanks for sharing it with us!
April 16th, 2012  
A stunning view, a beautiful home Mags…
April 16th, 2012  
@justeddie LOL! Like the kings of old... the government will come for more than two thirds of your chickens, eggs, cattle and vegetables for taxes! Bastards! They'll take it away from you one way or another - the fruits of all your labor... POOF! Gone!

@copperheadglass Thank you, Meredith! It really does look a whole lot better than it did! I'm pretty happy with what I was able to do. =)

@grannysue Thank you so much, Linda!

@mantha LOL! Yeah, I know the flaws are there but, you guys don't. =) Thank you, Sam! I'm pretty happy with what I have been able to do. It looks so much better than it did.

@marlboromaam You are right. Its sad that we cant unite and take back what is rightfully no ones.
April 16th, 2012

Glad to finally see the fruits of your labor! Looks so green and lush! I have never used the pano on my camera...will give it a go soon!
April 16th, 2012

April 16th, 2012  
@justeddie It's very discouraging to work so hard for something just to have it taken away at some politicians' whims.

April 16th, 2012  
@marlboromaam Not as nice as my what, Maggie? I have pano on my camera if that is what you are referring to and have posted a few, but this is so beautiful, Maggie. I love your yard and would love to have so much space and tall trees to enjoy. You live in a beautiful place. Hugs back to you. Funny how we all see things differently.
April 16th, 2012  
Looking craptastically good! Your shot really showcases your lovely space very well - i look forward to seeing more of your domicile!
April 16th, 2012  
what a great backyard
April 16th, 2012  
That must have been really heavy work to clean that place. I love this panorama shot. Wish my little garden were as neat as this!
April 16th, 2012  
I think this is an awesome picture! I really wish I had a yard like yours!
April 16th, 2012  
Pam
I am not seeing errors here!! Lovely shot of your front yard!! I like the the pine tree :P. Happy gardening my friend:)
April 16th, 2012  
Like most others, I see nothing wrong with this panorama?? Your yard is so beautiful and your home fits so well with the country scene. Your hard work is paying off and here I whine about taking care of only a quarter acre :-)
April 16th, 2012  
Looks good to me, I love your yard!
April 16th, 2012  
Wow! It must feel great looking at your yard so beautiful now! Your hard work paid off Maggie and I love how you captured it in panorama. Its so wonderful that you have included a little bit of your front porch. Your place is really beautiful! :D
April 16th, 2012  
@mummarazzii Thank you, Lisa! Grateful for your lovely comments and visit!

@ellimae LOL! I have a panorama mode on my camera. It isn't supposed to be hard. I just need to pay more attention to lining up the 3 shots. Thank you for your kind comments, Ellen. Always appreciated! Hope you're hanging in there. I'm with you in spirit!

@darsphotos LOL! Yes, we do see things differently. You took some great panoramic shots, gal! Thank you for liking mine though. =)

April 16th, 2012  
What a marvellous and large job! Thank you for sharing your garden with us! My panoramic function on my p&s distorts angles too, but its fun to play with :)
April 16th, 2012  
I want to live at your house!! Great panoramic!

Still looks like a beautiful spring scene! Well done!
April 16th, 2012  
@marlboromaam I really like this photo, Maggie. My best pano photos were from the park. It is so well kept and beautiful that anyone taking a pano gets a really good photo. It is not about that though, this is your home and it is beautiful. I love pano shots as you can see so much more in them. You truly captured your home so well. It is a beautiful place.
April 16th, 2012  
Beautiful! I love that green!

April 16th, 2012

April 17th, 2012  
@tryeveryday Aww! Thank you very much for your sweet comments, Michelle! Always appreciated!

April 17th, 2012  
Vee
Somehow I missed this....this is a beautiful landscape! (And aren't you lucky to live in that beauty!)
April 18th, 2012  
@vskolnik Thank you, Vee! I am here for the moment. Hope I can find another job before I run out of my savings or I won't be able to stay.
April 18th, 2012  
OMG Maggie, it's a beautiful garden , I can see why it needs so much hard work .....I think you need a gardener ...I have green fingers you know :)

great pano ...don't go 'dissing yourself' by saying craptastic !
April 18th, 2012  
@phil_howcroft LOL! I wish I could afford to pay a gardner. That would be a luxury I've never had before! I've seen your garden work. You do have green fingers! Thank you for your comments, Phil! Most appreciated!
April 18th, 2012  
You're lucky to have such a large yard area. Well done- I find it hard to keep up with a small city section. And you have squirrels!!
April 18th, 2012  
@carolinedreams Thank you, Caroline! Appreciate your lovely comments! Yes, I have an over populated squirrel infestation at the moment. Very destructive varmints when there are way too many. They have chewed up all six bluebird houses so the bluebirds will have nothing to do with the houses now and they have chewed up more hummingbird feeders than I can count. They have destroyed my small asparagus crop. Eaten my geraniums. Mock me when I try to run them off and worst of all have chewed through the shed roof. Five or six in the yard isn't bad but, 30 or 40 is dreadful!
April 18th, 2012  
@marlboromaam And I though they were just cute fluffy things! They sound as destructive as the possums we have in the NZ forests. They totally annihilate the trees and birdlife, even eating the eggs and chicks.
April 18th, 2012  
@carolinedreams I totally understand! Some creatures need their populations controlled like deer or there will nothing for the rest of us to eat.
April 18th, 2012  
Wow you have a stunning place, looks so calm and peaceful, I would never want to leave:)
April 20th, 2012  
@veekay Thank you very much, Vicki! I hope I won't have to ever leave it, unless it's what I want to do.
April 20th, 2012  
What a great front yard! I've always meant to try doing a pano, but I've still not gotten around to it. Not bad if you ask me!
April 20th, 2012  
@melissapike Melissa, I would think you're in a great place for panoramics. Can't wait to see what you can do! Thank you for your kind comments and visit!
April 20th, 2012  
Fantastic job on this panoramic and such a wonderful looking yard! Looks like your hard work is paying off!
April 21st, 2012  
@cjphoto Aww! Thank you so much, Chris! Your comments mean a lot to me!
April 21st, 2012  
U have such a gorgeous, lovely place ! The panorama is wonderful :)
