Caladium Book


So here we are - finished. The book needs an overnight press to flatten the covers. You can see the background pictures of Tampa.

Here's another view of the same pages.

And here is the back of the pages. Each photo is spread over two caladium leaves. From the left,
- a close-up of stonework at the Frank Lloyd Wright campus at Lakeland
- a picture of the seaway at Tampa
- some purple flowers a bit like convolvulus down by the waterside
- picture of the city at sunset from our hotel room

The text is a bit jokey. If you can read it, every line has a question mark at the end. And each line is a named variety of caladium! Michael, giving his opinion from his sickbed, thought this idea was quite horrible. One of the photos I had to ditch was of my sister, Dorothy, and myself with milk shakes. the text said 'Florida Sweetheart? Miss Muffet?'

I had intended to make two copies today but the Inkjet has run low on ink. I have ordered some more. I have also cleaned the Inkjet printer but it has not improved dark duplex printing. My solution - replace the dark photos - has worked!!

  1. Oh I think it's a shame you had to miss that one out! I love the middle photo where you can see the shapes like a mountain range.
