Wonderful to see you posting pictures again, Claes. Beautiful as always. Where did you take the shots of the frogs?
Claes, these photos are stunning. Glad you gave into the urge to post some more. Now I want to see even more. First, the bull is fanastic - the way you captured the lighting on it just so...that is just so golden and amazing....looks like a god-bull.Quote:

I love rocks and geology so I was fascinated by the flintstones you photographed. Wow, I used to watch "The Flintstones" cartoon on TV when I was a kid. I never really knew what a flintstone was before. Thanks for educating me. That piece of flint sure looks sharp. Is that what the primitives used to make fires with?
It is hard to tell exactly how the art is to be viewed but it certainly is interesting. You have a real photographer's eye for interesting shots. Keep them coming on here. I reposted your photos, since I think they are well worth seeing twice.
WOW, I had to revise this - I did not realise you just had posted more. I have to go look at those now. Great!
Kiz, nice ocean photos, too. I love the beach and the surf and ocean - it looks so peaceful there.
Well, I don't have any new or recent pictures, buuuut I have some old ones from my trip to Italy....

Beautiful mountains in Switzerland.
Oh TEND those pictures are magnificent. I have never seen that villa. Was that on one of the northern lakes? It looks beautiful. Nice to see you back here.
They are all beautiful Tend (It's nice to see you back! :wave:), that Villa is absolutely breathtaking...and I'm always a sucker for nature pictures, those mountains are just gorgeous.
Those mountains look so LOTR TEND! very pretty.

That was taken in Victoria, BC, Canada during the summer.
Yes, it was real close to the border, actually the first stop I made after crossing over from Switzerland.Quote:

Wow Tend they are lovely! I also loved florence more. It was such a beautiful city. I take it you walked around the roof of the Duomo? I did that with my friend, held onto her the whole time. Even had a couple of really nice American guys help me around a narrow bit. Fear of Heights.
Janine, Flint was one of the stones that is used to make a fire. It was also used for may other purposes;
Hunting, cooking, making clothes, building and shaving.
very versitile rock, but also very sharp.

Beautiful photos, Tend!
Those poisonous frogs were beautiful, as were the other photos you posted, Claes. Thanks!
Steph, your cat is so huggable, what a beautiful face! Your backyard shot is cool, too, love the choice in colours that you used. I don't have the patience to make a gingerbread house, but yours was awesome -- makes me hungry! :)
Claes, I love the frog pictures.
TEND, that's a wonderful shot of those mountains. Do you remember the names of the peaks in that area?
cracking muse, I think that flower is very beautiful.
stephofthenight, great gingerbread house!

Love the photos steph!
I hate snakes! Going to have nightmares!
Yes, cute monkey, Steph!
And Claes, you should work for National Geographic, your photos are well thought out and very colorful/beautiful. Thanks again for letting us see them!
Look at all the critters!!!
And what a beautiful picture of Stockholm. I love that.
I went to the pier today, so here are some pictures I took:
I live here.

Have you ever been at sea? No place that I'd rather be.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/a...c/DSCF1127.jpg
The reason why I posted a really stupid picture of the hotel was because if you've seen "Little Miss Sunshine". it should look familiar to you. No, it's not a Redondo Suites. I don't live in Redondo. I guess they could'nt afford Redondo, so they chose us cuz we're awesome. The walkway is where they drove around in the van when they were hopelessly lost. :lol: And then that freeway...yep. I live there. And the pier is where Dwayne and the...uncle? Was he an uncle? I don't remember. Anyways, that's where they talked. I love it down there.
god those are beautiful snakes...makes me miss mine. :( o well at least i can come look at your wonderfull picutres :D
Lovely pictures, all. Esp. yours, Lilly. I adore beaches.
Are they recent photos lily? If so, you have wonderful weather!! So unfair! Its wet and cold here.:( It looks really nice where you live.
Woot, Lily! I loved "Little Miss Sunshine", and yeah, that was his uncle. :lol:
Your pictures were totally awesome, especially that one of the pier, I have a wobbly pier in my neck of the woods that they put up after Spring and take down after Autumn (for obvious reasons -- wouldn't want that baby up when it hits forty below!). Anyhow, enjoyed those! :)
Thank you. :DQuote:
Lovely pictures, all. Esp. yours, Lilly. I adore beaches.
Those were taken yesterday. :D I do. I am so lucky to live here. I really am. I love how this town has never really quite grown out the 1950s/60s. We've got the surfers, the vintage Foster Freeze, and all the classic cars putt-putting around because the weather allows classic cars to stay in good condition.Quote:

I had some trouble uploading this one. Anyway, this is a photo I took a couple summers ago when I was living in Vermont. I forget what street this is, just a few blocks from the famous Church Street coming from the top end.

such beautiful scenary Jon! And that sunflower is gorgeous!
Oh, to have a picnic at such a beautiful location! Jon, awesome photo -- and the sunflower really is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your photos here! :)
Here's one I took a few weeks ago when I went to the art museum in Santa Barbara. It was my favorite piece and luckily it was outside. It's called "Cultural (In)difference".
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/a...c/DSCF1099.jpg
And here's another one from Sunday that I like a lot.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/a...c/DSCF1149.jpg
Contrary to what it looks like, it's fairly nippy here. Honest. Expecially that water. Here for me, the ocean is for looking at, not to swim in. Too cold! Santa Rosa Island is in the backround.
Lily, the Pacific ocean is much colder than the Atlantic. Going to the beach on the east coast is different than the west coast.
Yup. :D In my three travels to the east coast, I stepped into the Atlantic once. It was in Atlantic City, no less, in New Jersey, and I remember it was soooo warm. Quite surprising for me.Quote:

As for the atlantic, its freezing my end! But not where the gulf streem current goes. Thats warm.
we had a mouse in our flat and he kept my hubby awake for a couple of nights.
so we bought a trap (the cage variety), but he nicked the food a couple of times and the trap didn't shut.
when we returned from the Christmas market today, what do we find? Fred the mouse :) He was so cute!
We sat him free outdoors.
