It is interesting (I'm itching to straighten the top one... augh!).

What else can you show us with out violating diplomatic protocols?

can't do anything today but maybe I'll have a walk around the grounds and get you some more scenic shots in the next few days... and yes I'll try to hold the camera level.

maybe
:p:

thank you!

and... hold the camera however. I'm not in charge of your artistic vision. If it becomes intolerable, I'll tilt my head. or my computer. or I'll copy the picture and fix it myself. (yes, there's precedent for this.)

cheers!

Morning Glory.

Seriously? Is that just PA? A couple who lived in Michigan told me that every night they would throw their vegetable scraps out in the back yard, and the deer would come up and eat them. When they needed venison, they would sit out back with a gun and shoot one of the deer.

4 from last week. I was staying in Munster, IN where my wife was working. Not much to do and then the bar next door had a monthly car show so I went out and took some pictures. The location sucked so mostly everything was best as a detail shot.

Here is a location shot that I took just to record it but also to illustrate the guys who mostly can afford this hobby.

Excellent detail shots!

I have a photographer buddy who has a whole collection of hood ornament shots. It's surprising how many he still finds out there.

Well spotted, Chris. - Not an outright fan of cars myself, but I won't pass by a nice bit of design or a good photo shoot ;)

you take the pictures however you want to take them.

As for me, if I'm sooooo disturbed, I can just fix'em myself. This is the precedent I spoke of:

Photos from a wreck earlier this evening. The black tahoe with the open door is my department's newest vehicle (prior to the budget crunch)

Neat pictures I've taken.......
 

Peachfaced Lovebirds in the mesquite tree in my backyard. Phoenix has a rather large feral population of Lovebirds and quite a few hang out in the mesquite tree.......

It appears the two lovers have a voyeur.......
.

That's really great. It reminds me of the movie "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill."

The birds are so cute, looks like they're talking to each other.

i'm warning you. it's coming. soon. vvvvery soooooon. beeee afraaaaiiiiiid!

Whaaaaaats cccoooooommming?

oh i bought one of those really nice disposable cameras! will post sometime next week....:)

This isn't the best quality. I wish it had come out clearer, but it cracks me up. My big tom cat on his back playing with his toy. lol Maybe you'll get a chuckle out of it too. I dunno.

p.s. love those love birds J.

HAhahahaa...cats are too funny! :)

Considering the angle,maybe we don't need a clearer shot.

haha....oh no! He must of heard me laugh'n. Here he comes.Minimize the screen!.... j/k

He likes to watch nature programs too. btw...no other shows just those.

I have a vid on my camera of my (RIP) Tajjy licking herself. Ahem. I busted out laughing and (no sound on camera) you know when I laughed because she stops and looks at me, then goes right back to it! :lol:

Ladybird

lol@ IF

woah, nice shot sundae. That's a humongous one. They grow large over there.

It's smaller than my little fingernail.
(smaller than pictured!)

I remember a song from Junior High choir:

Don't disturb the ladybug
Sleeping by the spider's web
blah blah blah blah blah something
Don't try to catch it in your net.


Or something.

Lady bird, ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are gone
All except one, and her name is Ann
She crept under the frying pan

It worked in that it stopped us grabbing it for the bright colours and domed cuteness.

Always creeped me out though.
How big was the house?
How big was a frying pan in relation to it?
How many children (ladybirds) died?

Oooh, a link to that song:

http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/ladybug.htm

I remember the ladybird poem. Of course, we said ladybug. And I only remembered the first two lines. Actually, I remembered up until 'your house is on fire.'

I thought of Hank Hill's dog when I read Ladybird.

Who I *think* is named after Lady Bird Johnson? The whole Texas thing.

reopening the surf trip album reminded me of this picture. I think it's neat.

ftw

Yep, that's pretty kewl.

I like.

I also took this when standing at the Monument. Looks like I just missed some action.

i've got some pics now. can't post 'em yet though. my new Nikon D-3100 came in yesterday and i bought a memory card for it at lunch today. earliest will be tomorrow. y'all be patient with me! i'm having to relearn and learn at the same time. bigv, that's an awesome shot!

Dude, don't use the word "shot" around there.

We got our D3100 a couple of months back. I love it. I even love the noise it makes!

thanks man!

ok i won't say shot! lol! here are my "check out the camera and see what i can do first off pics" from the track....first two are our outside party areas..next one is the pit obviously and the last is inside the game room.....have to say i'm very impressed with the auto function. will experiment with it more and then venture off into manual.

dude. now Zen...you know i know what a shot is...right?

:yum:

I see that snake has eaten recently.

"Dude, wait dude, put down your drink!"

"Nahhhh, chill out, I got this... fire in the hole!" (*blam*)

Hey, Cap's sure got some perky nipples!

Is that a gun in your holster, or are ya just happy to s---oh, it's a gun. Nevermind.

That bluetooth earpiece he's wearing is a bit dated. ;)

Damn, man, seriously? Just havin a bit of a casual drink, oops, lemme just deal with this snake ... bam .. okay were where we? :eek:

omg I am so stupid. I thought he was holding a big old staff, like that Moldar or whoever it is from one of those book/movie things. :lol:

I was looking more at his satellite ear. (Bluetooth...har har har!)

That's a damn snake! WTF?

Hey, around here, dress code is casual, but strictly enforced.

Bluetooth? No, no, bluehair.

you guys kill me!

here are a few pics from today. went to Galveston then took the ferry to boliver. along the way got to take pics of porpoise's. the one i have here is the best and had to crop it. the others? meh. all shots taken on auto. still feeling out the camera.

oh and the black thing up there in the last post in from the oil spill. a big azz tar ball.

nice pics and all that, but who is the babe? ;)

that is jessica, my girlfriend...

Hi Jess. Nice to see ya.

I had tarball once...Doc gave me a salve for it.

I strongly feel that the term "tar ball" is racist.
