Wow! Sand hills, you say? The thought of sand doesn’t entire the corners of my mind when I see this lush green back yard! It’s stunning!

um, that should say “enter” not “entire.” I guess my entire head entered the Twilight Zone as I tried to type that last comment. LOL.

Did you manually stitch the photos, or use software to do it? You know, I think I’ve asked you that before, and you probably replied. At any rate, the composite looks good. Can’t easily tell where the seams are.

Tenni - The sand hills are covered in grass. The only places that you can see the sand is “blowouts” the wind has “blown out” an area that’s kind of like a sand trap on a golf course and on the road out to the ranch. My great-aunt used to take care of all of this herself, but now she has people from a nursery come out and plant the garden each year.
dcr - Thanks. I use autostitch. It’s a free download at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html
