    These are flowers from my mom's garden.

    (sorry, I can't make this one smaller)





    And this one is my cat, Garfield.

    Ethel Mertz: Gee, this high altitude sure gives me an appetite.
    Fred Mertz: What's your excuse at sea level?

    Fred Mertz: Now what are we supposed to do? Thumb a ride on a passing halibut?

    Thanks. The views up there are very awesome!

    Here's one of a couple of climbers descending the Hotlum-Bolam Ridge, on the other side of the mountain (and at a different time of year):

    It's a little grainy, but I think that gives it a cool effect. Plus, I like how the clouds look.

    Wednesday night I was a chaperone on a confirmation trip to some rope thing and while we were sitting there waiting for the kids to undo a knot-filled rope without letting go or using their hands , I took this picture of the surroundings. I added a little glow and it made it look positively magical, like you'd expect to see elves and fairies leep out at you. And it's proof positive that there are at least a few trees in North Dakota.

    Watch out for those elves!



    BulletproofDork, those flowers look very nice, and Garfield does too!

    My cow friends

    This is the dance of Jalisco, the state where my family lives. Its blurry, but thats because my shutter speed wasn't fast enough for them! They were flying!

    It's awe-inspiring just looking at the pictures, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be up there and confronted with such formidable nature. There would be part of me that would feel like I've really conquered something and another part of me that would feel like I'm trespassing where humans were never meant to be.

    Watch out for those elves!
    That was very clever.
    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.

    SleepyWitch, the railings on your staircase look different than the railings on CdnReader's staircase. It's pretty neat to see different perspectives from Kew Gardens, though.

    Mortis Anarchy, I like the blurry picture of that couple dancing. I wish women would wear flowers in their hair more here in California!

    That's an interesting way to put it. In fact, that "something" you've conquered is precisely the part of you that feels like you're trespassing where humans were never meant to be.

    Exhilarating and humbling at the same time. Nature is good at inspiring those seemingly disparate emotions.

    Yep - Comerica Park. Actually, it's both stadiums - In the bottom picture Ford Field is just across the street from the park.
