    Fair enough Gilliatt

    Well it's the rainy season where I'm living, and I've been looking to take pictures in my nice warm cozy little studio without having to brave the harsher elements - thusly a set up shot of a money box with coins on velvet.

    The first one is of two packets of squat candles from a dollar shop at 2 bucks apiece per thirty - so I bought two packets and lit 'em, partly to test my camera's low light abilities, but also to see if I could do something entrancing with so many candles at my disposal.

    Today I took some photos of ducks in the rain:

    Great pictures everyone!

    Here are the photos of my little cousin( my uncle's daughter). She is a doll and I often take her pictures whenever I get the chance.

    @Snowqueen: My, she's so very cute!

    I suppose people know by now how much I love the woods.

    Here is a picture of my dog Zeus in the woods. We do a lot of hiking together.

    All looking great.

    Snowqueen - Is she the one with the tear in the eye you posted a while back? She's adorable.

    Themis - I can imagine any number of places to pitch a tent.

    Zeus found these on one of our hikes.

    You are absolutely right Gilliat, and you have a good memory too.

    Great pictures kittypaws! Thanks for sharing.

    Great pics everybody! Love the grasshoppers, Mystyry- I love the ones you took of the lake and the island. If I feel the creative urge someday, could I have permission to paint it?

    Snowqueen, your little cousin is beautiful. Gilliat, love the butterflys, and kittypaws, Zeus is magnificent.

    Your woods are beautiful, Themis. What a peaceful place to spend an afternoon.

    Emil, I love your flowers, especially the pink roses. So much more attractive than some of the pictures I've seen you post elsewhere. I saw the directions you thoughtfully posted. Maybe I'll try to post something soon, although they look rather complicated. So many steps, a-r-r-r-g-h.

    Glad you like them. I know transferring photos seems difficult but if you work your way through it systematically you will find that after a few times it will be quite automatic. If you are in any doubt about it you could send me a PM and I will try to sort it out. I used to use photobucket but it's overloaded with all kinds of subsidiary functions and Imageshack, despite the corny name, is much more straightforward.

    Thanks for the comments Qimi!

    Nice pictures farnoosh. Shiraz seems to be a beautiful city. Is it a shrine in the last photo?

    I just got a new camera in preparation for my vacation to exotic Minneapolis, MN next week.

    I tried to get a picture of my dog, Dobby but he was being very uncooperative, this was the best I was able to manage.



    Speaking of dogs, we lost out beloved beagle, Smeagol, last summer. We planted an apple tree on his grave in the backyard and this is the first apple from that tree.



    Some cool plant thing in the backyard.



    And a close up of said cool plant...actually not the exact same plant, same type, different actual plant.

    the luminous grass of the prairie hides
    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.
    ~ Riesa

    I feel like an idiot since I'm drawing a blank on Shiraz. I've heard of it, but can't place it.
    Nice pics anyhow.

    I agree; that is unusual. Any clue as to what it is?
