Thank's VirgilYes, but I was unlucky with the 10 - 15 pictures I wasted before the cat finally decided to yawn at the right time... ;) It's a good thing I don't use film anymore. :lol:Quote:

An "Indian Summer" in London!
Land's End
Somewhere on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall
(read this poem to have an idea about this peaceful spot: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=35704)
This is wonderful! I wish one day I can visit this place.Quote:

We have a huge population of Indian ringneck parakeets in Berkshire, Middlesex and Surrey. I live on the Surrey border and we have thousands of these very exotic birds here. They were first sighted in a park in Richmond around 10 years ago and everybody was so excited about them. Now we have thousands of them. They are lovely though noisy which has changed the English suburban soundscape thoroughly, specially in the suburbs of London.Quote:

No, you just park next to them and ask them nicely to show their teeth!Quote:

Kafka: love the lion shots and the one of the gorilla
Great pictures, cipherdecoy, Shurtugal, sofia82, Nightshade, bluevictim, subterranean, Argus (love horses!), Claes, Kafka -- I'd love to see Stonehenge, you are lucky!
We sure have some great photographers here! :nod:
Cool photos Kafka, you're lucky to live close enough to Cornwall to be able to get there in a day and back.
Taken last night. How I love the sky.

I love the lions too Kafka. Thanks.
Oh Fifth, that is a stunning photo. That's a contest winner, if you can find a contest to enter it in. :)

This is my favorite picture from Korea. A friend has since told me that this sign has been taken down. Its replacement? "Hunt Kids!"
Don't worry, it's a childrens' clothing store, not an infanticide warehouse. Gotta love those mistranlations:lol:

And this one is a late Happy Birthday to the U.S. I took this picture a few months ago at Fort Benning, GA.

Absolutely amazing and beautiful photos!! :thumbs_up :)
They look like frangipanis. We have some frangipani trees in our garden:Quote:

some nice pics
How interesting?! But where did they come from? Birds from other lands just start living in another place, so intresting and more interesting is that they become larger in number, I love them so cute and so beautiful.Quote:

I wish I become rich enough to travel around the world and see these wonders, one is your Stonehenge (of course, I should see all of the wonders in my own country :D).
These are beautiful photos, it is a little bit different from what I imagined as I saw in the movies or other photos ...Quote:

amazing Themis. so beautiful it doesn't even look real!
they are lovely picturesque images of Ireland Themis. The first one looks postcard perfect! Hope you had a good time! :)
Yes, that first one is magnificent. Let us know how your trip went.
OK, finally figured out how to download my pictures to computer so I can post them here.
This is a squirel that I have named Rocky. I took this from my backyard.

Frangipanis... Thank you, sprinks. :thumbs_up :)Quote:

pussnboots: Well done to capture Rocky so well. I know how hard it is get a good shot of a squirrel.
They are too fast to make it easy.

Lovely sky shot, Fifth! Whenever our skies have something prettier than usual (pink clouds, etc.) I always think of you. :nod:
Claes, your photography is stunning. That is some camera you have! By the way, I almost freaked out over that close up of the spider, very good photography indeed.
Great pix, djy78usa!
Sprinks, lovely pix, wished those flowers would grow in my garden! ;)
Themis your photos from Ireland are awesome, just like postcards (as Niamh pointed out). :)
pussnboots - Rocky is indeed a sweetie -- but does your dog get along with him? I know that Pepper would have a heyday with a squirrel that made itself at home in our yard, lol!
Here's a couple from me:
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...lumMay2008.jpg ............. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...earStrgn01.jpg
That tree flowering is our ornamental plum. I love that tree.
Both photos were obtained thanks to the technology contained in my cell phone ...
It has become a habit (not to mention an activity of great pleasure) of mine to go on 4-6 mile bike rides (in a place with no flat roads!) at around 8:15pm. The sun sets here around 8:45pm, producing wonderful effects on the clouds. O how much I love clouds!
I have a whole album of pictures on my facebook (I'm not sure if anyone who doesn't have a facebook can see them or no--here's the link: Cloud Chasin'). If not, here are just a few of the more stunning ones:

Those are cool pictures Dori. I love watching the clouds at sunset too. When I used to live in Alaska, the sunset would reflect off the snow and the entire sky would turn that pinkish-orange color. I wish I had some pictures of that to post on here.
nice sunsets Dori
Wow! These are beautiful, Dori. Would make really good windows screen wallpapers if it were not for the image size. :)Quote:

Yes very nice Dori. I like the first one best.
Thanks Virgil. :) What's particularly striking is that all of these were taken within a span of 45 minutes or so. And they are in the order I took them, surprisingly.
@All who commented on my Ireland-pictures: Glad you all like them. :) I had a very good time taking them.
@Dori: I really like your sky-pictures. They remind me of some of the pictures I like to take at sunset.
kiz paws, I just noticed these two pictures that you took. Really good. I especially like the later one! :)
And btw, even those with a facebook profile can't see them. :pQuote:

So did my wife, I'm afraid: First when she found the spider and then once more when she saw the picture :lol: And you are right about the camera. By now I have had so much practice with it that I don't have to give much thought to how I set it up. I just do it and shoot.Quote:

The first picture is of a field of flax that is beyond the path that Pepper and I walk; and the second is what we see as we go on our daily jaunt. Sometimes I think a photo is in order, and sometimes nothing strikes me. But anyhow, these pictures were obtained by the camera in my cell phone. Love those cell phones, eh? ;)
