Oh, yeah, very famous up at Assateague and Chincoteague on the Eastern Shore near Maryland. But they are also on Pine Mountain here in SW VA, and like at Chincoteague, are rounded up and so many sold once a year so as to keep the population in line with the reasourses that they depend upon. I hiked the AT through there once in the fog, and one of the stallions made sure I stayed on the path. He followed me and reared up and whinnied every time I stepped off on "his turf." Hee. I'll swear this is a true story!

...Can't...resist...
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/a...atomuzika3.jpg
MUTATO MUZIKA!!!! Where AMAZING music is composed for film, video games, and TV ads!
*realizes that she must be more specific*
The big lime green UFO office where three former DEVO band members work on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, about an hour away from where I live. :D I took this picture while spazzing out in a moving car...eheheheh. ^^'
It's also where the neighbors come to complain about the color of the building. What do they know? The traditional poo-poo-colored building is LAME.
I am so lucky.
...
Oooh! Oooh! Look, everyone! You can even see the L.A. smog in the air! See it? It's all yellow! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! :lol: AND a big billboard advertisment for Hairspray! Don't you just love city life?
Moira, those photos are gorgeous! What nice panoramic views! And the temple! Such exciting, exotic places...I would love to travel there. Or any place new. I've never been outside the U.S.
Added bonus! As we were driving along Sunset Boulevard, (I don't think I've ever been down Sunset, actually. Heh heh.) we went past the Beverly Hills Hotel. I took a picture of the exit. :D I also took a picture of the hotel itself, but the picture is really, really bad. There's this huge bush in the way, unfortunately. :(
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/a...nc/bhhotel.jpg
I love how it looks all movie-star oriented down there. And it is. Being down there reminds me of the '30s or something like that. I always think of the classic movies when I'm down there. I'd hate to live in the big city, though. Especially L.A. Nice places to visit, NOT a good place to live.
Again, I am SOOOOOO lucky.

Here are a few pictures i took with the camera on my phone that i want to share with you all.
This is a pic i took a few weeks ago of Dublin bay from Howth Head.
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q.../scenic002.jpg
And these i took this evening on Bettystown beach in county Meath.
This is a pic i took looking up the beach before we started walking. You can se the cooley Mountains in the backround.
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q.../scenic010.jpg
This was when my friend and i got to the top of the beach. The sun was starting to set when i took it.
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q.../scenic013.jpg
And these i took as the sun was setting when we were walking back to the car.

Nightshade, those are TOOOOOO sweet! Thank you so much for posting those endearing pictures, the quality of the shots are superb, too! :thumbs_up

Sorry for the double post, but I thought I'd share a few photos, too. I was up North last week (I actually go there a lot, but anyhow)... we got pelted by rain, which was annoying. BUT: the rain showers surprisingly were short and sweet and left us with an awesome rainbow, my regular camera caught it quite nice (think, if I only had a digital, sigh):
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...ainbow2007.jpg
and this one:
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w01Aug2007.jpg
And I called this one the beach at dusk, but it was just passed suppertime, so yeah, anyhow:

Woot, I am indeed honoured!! Yes, of course you can! :)
Niamh and Nightshade -- it is truly amazing that you both have such beautiful photos taken from a mobile! I have just renewed my cell phone contract, and the new cell phone has a camera -- I can only hope that I could get such quality -- time will tell, right?
Idril, your photos are spectacular, I cannot even begin to choose a favorite, thanks for posting them! :)
-
What lovely pictures taken by all: Moria, Night, Niamh, and Idril.

My mom planted the seeds a few years ago but they seed themselves now so they come back every year.

I can't take any credit for the pictures I posted, they were taken by my dad but I took this one all by my lonesome tonight and I'm quite proud of it. :D

Your picture is breath-taking, Idril! :thumbs_up

Idril, I love your flowers so much. I copied the poppy to send to a gardening friend, hope you don't mind - that one was wonderful. They are all lovely though; I love closeups like these in floral photos.
Ok, this is a bit of a cheat, since my good friend grew these and took the photos, as well. She is so talented I had to post them for her. Her name is Jeanne. I think these are spectacular photos of passion flowers. Is the red unusual or what?

wow Idril and janine. those flowers are fantastic! I really like the white rose. ANd yes the poppy is beautifully captured!
-
Idril, I forgot to mention those frogs - they are adorable. Where can I get some?
Thanks Niamh, glad you see you here. I forgot to congratulate you on becoming a mod - good for you!
I loved that poppy photo, too. My friend loves red flowers - she will go ape when she sees that photo.
-
Great photos, Idril and Janine. Very beautiful. :)
-
Very nice Janine and Idril. I always love coming to this thread. :)
-
Beautiful pictures, Janine, idril and everyone. Especially these of flowers helped to lighten up my mood. :)

I'm not sure, I'd have to ask my parents but I have no doubt they came from a catalog, my parents are big catalog shoppers which makes sense since they live in the middle of nowhere.
And since you all like the flower pictures, here's just one more and I promise, I'll stop. :blush: These were popping out of a rock wall by what is referred to as the "east porch".

those flowers remind me that i've had this pic on my phone for months to show you all. Its a picture of the violas i planted in the back garden of my boyfriends house.
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...Picture015.jpg
Also i'd taken these for Virgil
Sign from house GB Shaw was born on Synge St.

And the statue of Joyce on Earl St.

Niamh, I love the last pic! It looks like Gene Kelly strolling down Main Street in Singin in the Rain. If I ever come across it I'll be sure to hug it. :D and boot that guy out of the way, what does he think he's doing?
-
Janine, your pics are gorgeous! The red was awesome!
Idril, loved your purple asters, such a clear pic, too!
And Niamh, those violas are totally romantic, such lovely flowers!
Here's a trio of pix (it is hay baling time in the Prairies, and of course my favorite Wobbly Pier):

Lots of great pictures here!
Here are some shots of Half Dome (in Yosemite National Park in California) either by me or by a friend standing next to me (I don't remember). The lake in the foreground of the second picture is Tenaya Lake.

I actually took about 20 pictures of those stupid flowers but it was quite windy that day, as it always is in North Dakota, so it was just hopeless getting a clear pic. I just happened to get lucky one of those 20 times. :rolleyes:

Those are beautiful Kiz. Harvest time is such a picturesque time on the prairie. On the way to my parents' I saw a couple of combines in a wheatfield, one slightly ahead of the other and I thought for a second or two of stopping because it was such a romantic sight but I didn't, thinking I would get another chance somewhere down the road but I never did. :(
Blue, your pictures are quite stunning. :cool:
-
beautiful pics everyone. There's so many amazing photos. You guys are so talented.

I am glad that you were persistant -- your picture is very professional looking! It is difficult to get 'just the right take' when doing flowers, so sometimes taking quite a few just to get one 'good' one is the thing to do. It is all in good fun, anyhow, right? ;)

Thank you for your nice words, Idril. Don't you just hate a missed opportunity? My hubby really hates stopping the car when I see something that really catches my fancy. Darn he is stubborn! But it does work out, just like I promise him.
The only thing that I dislike about photo-taking is that I have to wait for my pics to come back from development. I use 200 ASA film in a 35 mm camera, and this seems to be the right combination for me for colour and clarity. But waiting is the pits..
Bluevictim, your pictures are very lovely, they look just like postcards! :)
-
All of those are so STUNNING, everyone!!! I love the flowers taken by Idril and Niamh! So fresh!
And I adore the rural pictures taken by Kiz and bluevictim...those haystack things are classic. And the pier is charming. I've only been to Yosemite once, but I thought it was so pretty. So breathtaking. Even just here looking at a picture of Half Dome...

This was taken at Kew Gardens, inside one of the glass houses.
