There is a reason it’s called the Garden State ...

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey
Like I said, there is a reason New Jersey is called the Garden State. Take a look at this house in Wayne as an example! It just takes my breath away. Azaleas of every available hue and dogwood trees cover their yard. We found this house last year as it’s on the way to work for Rick and this year he kept an eye on it for me, letting me know when it was in full bloom. These were taken over the weekend. It inspired us so much we went out and bought four azalea plants!

The photo of above was taken with my little camera’s feature, Stitch Assist, which allows you to take panoramic shots easily. To see the full effect, click here to view a much larger version. This is a series of four photos taken separately, then stitched together in Photoshop Elements. I love this camera feature because it shows your previous photo in the viewfinder so you can line up your next shot perfectly. It also keeps the exposure the same from photo to photo, allowing a seamless transition.

What follows are the four photos, taken from left to right.

About

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
