Pictures Taken By you...

[kathycf]

Hey Virgil, the three new born puppies look very cute, it must have been a tough decision about which one to take.....

Dillon is making quite an effort, Kathy....Is he trying to impress a she-dog around??

Nope, he is just being a good driver, checking his mirror before driving off. Or maybe he has something stuck in his teeth... You know how sloppy dogs are.

Awh :[

I don't have any awesome pictures like you guys.

Tbh, the only pictures I have are pretty vain ones of me, trying to make myself look good, although there are one or two pictures that I do like :]





I'm aware I look weird on the last one, but I thought the flowers were aceeeee! :]

HI there LauraJayne. I like your pics and don't think they are vain at all. You have a pretty eye! I think eyes are the most expressive, beautiful features that people have. This is an "artsy" one of my eyes.

[miss tenderness]

Laura, pretty eyes.

Kathy!you are keeping this plan of torture! common ,let's see the rest of YOU!

[kathycf]

Laura, pretty eyes.

Kathy!you are keeping this plan of torture! common ,let's see the rest of YOU!

But the rest of me isn't as nice as my eyes! Plus I need to get new batteries for my camera...take my own pic as my boyfriend won't do it for me...um. You buying any of those excuses, miss T?

This is what I look like without a hat. This was taken on an airplane, which explains my mood.

[miss tenderness]

haha , Kathy!nah! I'll nag you till I get to see the rest.

Cuppa, wait, as I recall , you used to have a brown pic where you wear hat ,tell you a secret: you are handsomer with the hat

but nice hair style ,I've had some moments when I wished to have this hair style.

[LauraJayne]

Haha :]

Thanks Kathycf :] and Misstenderness :]

Still.. I'm a right poser!

Love how you adjusted the picture of your eyes, great!!

A few pictures from my garden - let's all dream!
Here's a breath of SPRING -

Butterfly Bush/Butterfly


Balloon flowers - one of my favorites flowers - love the color.


Another of Balloon Flower.

[kathycf]

Those are just beautiful, Janine. Are those hard flowers to grow?

[Janine]

Thanks Kathy, I took them about 3 or more yrs back, when I was big into tending my garden...it got too huge for me really. Think the Balloon Flowers finally did die off, but normally they came up each year. They are not that hard to grow - but you do have to water them and they have their own blooming period of time, since they are perenials. The Butterfly Bush is a cinch to grow and the butterflies will flock to it. Mine is lavender, but I believe it comes in other colors. In the fall you just cut it back about a foot or so to the ground and it grows up the following year, nicely. You do have to keep it dead-headed to have it bloom longer; that is true of most plants. Do you garden?

Thanks again for the completements of on photos - just luck I think. My camera is an older one but it still takes good closeups.

Yes, please. That is exactly what I need at the moment.... And hey: Nice pictures.

Yes, at least we can think about spring...dream.
Thanks, Claes, I enjoyed the ones you posted also, of Paris. Artist's must go to Paris evenutally. Is that a photo of you standing at the top of steps holding a really large camera lens poised to take a photo? Great large shots - you can really see the city well.

Yes, that's me, so I can't take credit for that picture. The missus snapped that one (on the other hand I arranged it, so I suppose we'll have to share the praise? ).

A little anecdote about the camera: When I went to Kenya I had it in the hand baggage (Big surprise, eh?). As it happens, The kit included a humongous tele lens (I was going to snap wildlife after all) with a pistol grip underneath for better stability. Well, I didn't realy think that time, did I? I walked right into airport security with that big tube in my bag... and the pistol grip attached... and there was a terrorist scare going on... Good Grief, I'll never repeat that mistake! Can you imagine the reaction of security blokes when the bag with that contraption went through the X-ray?

Their hand went to their guns, and I had the time to think -uh, oh... before they ordered me to stand off and went to the bag. They opened it, and looked stunned for a second. Gales of laughter follwed, and then they hinted that maybe I ought to disassemble that thing next time. -Errrrr, yes Sir, I think I will....

I have more Paris pictures coming up, btw. It's just that I just have not had the time to keep the scanner running: These are from 1993, long before the digital era.

Nice photos Janine. Your flowers remind me of a Lawrence poem, "Bavarian Gentians." Blue flowers are hard to come by in nature. There aren't that many.

edit: If you wish to read that Lawrence poem I once copied it in this thread: http://www.online-literature.com/for...nce#post135040, post #18.
