Pics from my new camera

Good morning everyone,  I hope all is well in your world...hugs

Despite the rainy start to yesterday it dried up later and I was able to get out to Trent Lock to play with my new camera,  a Fujifilm S9900W bridge camera, and oh boy was 

I impressed :o)

I took a few pics through my windows on Saturday and then the ones taken at 

Trent Lock follow. 

Warning! Picture heavy.

 Ths first one was taken through my dirty kitchen window and I am so impressed with the detail on the feathers.

 This one was taken through my living room window and is of the flower on my Australian false palm.

This one, also taken thorugh my living room window, is the top od a tree in my next door but one's garden, I thought these two might make nice background images.

This is what the day started out like yesterday, but it did clear later, thank goodness!

 The heron and the horses were way across the river and I took these photographs with the zoom only halfway. I am really impressed with the detail. Not looking for the content at this stage, just the quality of the main image.

You can see where the heron was in relation to the horses on the first horsey pic. I am so pleased with the feather detail.

I love the reflections in this one taken from just by the side of the lock.

I hope you have enjoyed my little outing, I did very much :o)

Heritage page

Good sunny Saturday morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

I went out last night on my usual Friday night session with crafting friends and halfway there the heavens opened and the winscreen wipers could hardly cope!!! Thank goodness it only lasted for half an hour or so!!!!!

Before that, I went and bought myself a new camera! My big Nikon DSLR with the large lens on was getting to heavy for me to carry around, so I chose a Fujifilm bridge camera and what a bargain it was with £100 off. Had I have bought it last week I when I was first looking,  I would have paid that much more!!! I am hoping to get out on Sunday and play :o)

Anyhow, I am waffling so I will get on with it. Here is my offering for today, it is so long since I did a heritage page.

I wanted to keep it simple, I love these photographs of my Paternal Grandparents.

I printed them onto Kodak semigloss photopaper Then cut with Spellbinders dies.

Backing sheet is 12x12 from Sassafrasslass and it has been in my stash for many years. I haven't bought any papers for well more than 5 years!

Of course, I had to use the Memory Box Chloe Stem to fit in with the paper design.

Brown card is pearlised from stash, I think it was from PDA a long time ago. I found a box of cream 120 gsm paper in stash and used it for the journalling, cutting them out with  Die-namics fishtail dies. 

I promise you the text is clearer IRL than it is here. I used Vivaldi font :o)
