It is appreciated. Yesterday was my first dabble at putting a collage together, so most of what I did was guess work.

I must do some more trips and posts about it.<BR/><BR/>PG - oh dear. Hope the rest of your holiday was OK. I love the area.<BR/><BR/>Karen - I was worried we wouldn't get there in time to do it justice. I had to work quickly to get these shots.<BR/><BR/>Hermes - no problem. You're even closer to Poole than we are. It's well worth a visit.<BR/><BR/>Anna (GT) - there's so many inlets, reedbeds etc. its size is quite well disguised. We got quite a good idea on the road to Corfe Castle as we pulled over at the side of the road at a viewpoint towards Poole and got an idea of just how large it is. Having got up high made the difference. My collage is also from Picassa. I was surprised when I went in as there were many more options than the last time. I take care to choose a number of photos that are a square number - 4, 9 or 16. If you don't it annoyingly repeats some of the images. There's loads of other options left to explore - this is the first one I've done with rectangular photos - before they've been cropped into squares.<BR/><BR/>Tyra - glad you enjoyed it!<BR/><BR/>Anna (FGG) - the area is absolutely beautiful that's why I love it so. Must show you more another time. And yes we could have spent a lot longer on there, but setting out just before sunset didn't help in that department ;) Scones etc. would be just the thing - warm from the oven and with cream and strawberry jam :pVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-9532789265525387482009-01-11T18:12:00.000+00:002009-01-11T18:12:00.000+00:00Oh boy, the tea and goodies are just the ticket fo...Oh boy, the tea and goodies are just the ticket for a relaxing and enjoyable time reflecting on all the fun you had that day. You made me want to get up and fix some scones or something buttery. <BR/><BR/>Too bad you didn't get to see the wind surfers. What an athletic bunch. <BR/><BR/>Brownsea Island sounds like a good photo op and so glad you weren't disappointed. <BR/><BR/>The reserve at the Isle of Purbeck is another treasure and seems like a destination that could have lasted all day. It sounds a bit like some of our Outer Banks of NC. Riding across the inlet to get to Carrituck Island is a 15 minute strong breeze on your face. In an air conditioned car, it can take you 2 hours at the least.<BR/><BR/>Loved your pictures today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-61503169539582094402009-01-11T18:03:00.000+00:002009-01-11T18:03:00.000+00:00Hello VP and thank you for a grand guided tour./ T...Hello VP and thank you for a grand guided tour./ TyraTYRA Hallsénius Lindhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111758517855490413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-84985086501535006582009-01-11T17:34:00.000+00:002009-01-11T17:34:00.000+00:00A good day out by all accounts VP.

Next time we are down that way we must stay in the area long enough to explore it. I am curious to know how you got the collage effect with your photos ? I have managed to put one together using Picasa but it had more panes than I wanted.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-51745682119407308282009-01-11T16:58:00.000+00:002009-01-11T16:58:00.000+00:00I don't really know Poole and have obviously misse...I don't really know Poole and have obviously missed something.
