This is a great post, really informative with great illustrations. regarding the programmes that I use, the dynamic photo is for making hdr/ pseudo hdr pictures. (if you look at my earlier posts or in the tags bar, you can see what i mean) I don't use that so much anymore, only for playing. Mostly I now use a free programme called photoscape- free download if you search online. I use it only to crop, sharpen and adjust the colour levels, that's it really. I am just getting better at taking the photos now. I hope you stop by again, and i'll definitely keep coming back here :)bemused26https://www.blogger.com/profile/03288651410815126420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-18473185209682794562009-07-17T18:48:09.091-04:002009-07-17T18:48:09.091-04:00Thank you so much for the education on Bastille Da...Thank you so much for the education on Bastille Day. Our countries are very much linked.

I have always been fascinated by Jefferson, and when I found out he too loved France, and also that quote, I agreed and loved him more. He had his faults, but I admire him for many reasons.<br /><br />Your descriptions of Bastille Day remind me of my memories of 4th of July. Sometimes I feel very far removed from the origins of this holiday. I get depressed with our country's history. But those early days were remarkable, as were France's. Very bloody and frightening, but many were bold and determined.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-15588061023336354392009-07-14T08:56:46.402-04:002009-07-14T08:56:46.402-04:00What a great history lesson, VB!

I also didn't know that the French flag is red, white and blue, because, as you say, it is not shown everywhere like ours is.<br /><br />So, I wish you and yours a Happy 14th of July!DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-58674849123239394222009-07-14T08:47:17.429-04:002009-07-14T08:47:17.429-04:00Very nice article!
