Hipstamatic Garden

Following in the footsteps of Inda Knight and Tania Kindersley, I have succumbed, and purchased the Hipstamatic i phone app available here for $1.19.  It has a choice of  lenses and film and it is supposed to make everything you photograph look beautiful with a vintage hue.

This morning whilst wandering round my garden in my robe, I experimented......

 Tiled water point under the jasmine arch

The Chateau from our garden

 The View

 Weeping Willow

 Flowers

 Gazebo, with climbing roses, just coming out

 The old well, complete with goldfish

Crusoe looking wistfully out of the window

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend.

  1. 1.19 (sorry, couldn't find the pound sign) seems like a very good investment to me! Great pics, especially the one of Crusoe at the window. Have a lovely weekend.

  3. You will think I am stalking you (which - yeah .... kinda)

    but I LOVE these photos so just went and bought this app for myself.

    OMG (OMG, I can't believe I just wrote OMG) even the photo I just took of my laundry on the line looks freaking amazing! If I can figure out how to do it, I'll put this on my blog.

    Thank you! I am going to have SO much fun with this I can tell!!
