Photography using the Kaleidoscope Setting

I took this photo of my red geranium with my camera’s kaleidoscope setting. Can you tell? I took this photo using the kaleidoscope setting, once again. It has been a busy day, starting with aqua aerobics and tonight I begin my guitar class. I am excited, but a little nervous as well.
In between I was out in the garden pruning and fertilizing my geraniums.


Our Pinata climbing rose is one of my favorites. It is so colorful and I can’t resist taking photos of it. I better go now and get ready for my guitar class. Will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck.

This evening I was playing around with my iPad and discovered the Photo Booth app, with its many options for taking photos. Above is a photo I took of my African Violet, using the kaleidoscope setting. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
