Gilliatt ~ you are too kind. :) Thank you.
this was a once in a moment shot. The cat is Scooter, who always wants to be a part of what I am doing. The plant is an orchid, which kind I do not know....but it has been in bloom for over a month. I wanted to take a picture of it with the sunrise behind it and Scooter jumped up onto the sill....and there you have it. Nothing has been altered ... IMO the perfect shot!

Riesa your doggy is lovable, eventhough I am a cat lover I must admit that I love your dog!

I would like to share some pictures I took on Wednesday on the beach of lake Balaton.

Great pictures Gilliatt, Olga, Snowqueen and Kelji. It's always a pleasure to pop in here.
Olga - I've been to Lake Balaton. It's a great place. We camped on one side and stayed in a hotel on the other. It's a place we would have liked to take the children when they were little - although we were unable.
What a beautiful view! It's amazing!Quote:

I don't want to bore you with all this information.
Gilliatt, are you going to carve Pinocchio?Quote:

Here are a few shots of a storm cloud that developed a couple of days ago:

Thank you Snowqueen. I attempted to post the color version of the middle photo, but no luck, some glitch I couldn't figure out. Nevertheless, you get the idea. The storm clouds continued to grow and eventually developed into a major storm that fortunately drifted away from us. The lightning show was amazing to watch throughout the evening.Quote:
