Cool photo-Morpher software

October 23, 2007 by Tricia

Wow! I was given the opportunity to try a new photo morphing software earlier today and I must say I really enjoyed playing around with this software!

I went to the Zoombli website and downloaded a copy of their Morpheus Photo-Morpher application. I know a few other bloggers who have started using this software to morph photos from one thing into another and I thought it was about time I try it out myself.

The software was very easy to install. Once installed the program opened up right away. There were instructions on how to use the software properly in the right side of the Photo-Morpher application so it was easy to follow the directions to create my own photo morph.

As you know I love taking photographs of the flowers in my garden. So I went searching through my photos and found a beautiful photo a perfect Graham Thomas English rose bud. I then found a lovely photo of this rose fully open. I thought it would be neat to see how the program morphed the two photos from bud to fully open flower.

I’m sure you could come up with hundreds of things to morph – perhaps a baby photo of your child to how they look right now?

The program renders the morphs in a variety of formats including flash. I chose to render my morph into an avi so that I could upload it to YouTube.

This is my bud to full blooming Graham Thomas English rose:

The full standard version of this software only costs $29.95 and there’s also a Pro version that will allow you to to have even more features than you already do with the Standard version. Check out the software for yourself. I’m sure you could think of all kinds of cool things to morph. Hey a morphed photo might even make an interesting present for someone you love.

Sedum is lovely in the Fall

Join Green Thumb Sunday
Join

Sedum - Fall Colour

Our Sedum plants have been flowering for about a month now. I took this photo shortly after they’d started blooming. Aren’t their tiny delicate little flowers pretty?

I even enjoy this plant when the flowers begin to die and dry up. The flowers and their stalks dry and turn a brownish color. You’d think that would be ugly, but it’s quite ornamental. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that some people cut these dried flowers and stalks and put them in Winter dried flower displays in their home. That’s how nice they look even when they are dead.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

It’s my wedding anniversary tomorrow

October 21, 2007 by Tricia

You know what? I just remembered that it’s my wedding anniversary tomorrow. Yes I knew it was coming up, but I didn’t realize how close we were to the 22nd until just now. Tomorrow … gee I wonder what we should do to celebrate?

It’s our 13th anniversary. Hmmm with a number like that maybe we should just ignore it. Nah, it should be a lucky thirteen in this case. We’re happy.

Thinking back I believe I can remember every detail of our wedding day, but for the life of me I can’t remember what kind of bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts gifts we gave out. Strange. It was probably jewelery related since Chris and I had been jewelers when we met, but weren’t any longer by the time we got married.

Do you remember all the details of your wedding day or did it just go by in a blur?

Cars and their Boom, Boom, BOOM

October 21, 2007 by Tricia

I’m always up late at night and lately, maybe the last three months, I’ve noticed that a car goes by blaring it’s music almost every night at about 2 a.m. and then at 4 a.m..

I can hear for at least 6 minutes! Can you imagine how loud the music must be inside the car for me to hear it from blocks away? The drivers either already half deaf or soon will be. Now don’t I sound old! LOL

I got a glimpse of the car the other day. It’s one of those suped up models. Big tires, billet grilles, and it looks like it’s had a few types of car kits added to it – you know the ones that make the back bumper look really huge?

One of my brothers used to be really into cars and music. I guess he was just like this guy who’s traveling around my neighborhood late at night.

Grab the Photo Hunt code.

This weeks theme is Practical

IMG_1519

Ok well this might be exactly my dream house, but I’d like one with many of it’s features.

I love this houses wrap around verandas and upstairs balconies. I think it’s a very practical use of space and well, practically or not I just love houses with upper and lower balconies and porches.

This house is in the Beaches area of Toronto.
