Sophia, how adorable!! :)
They are cute aren't they. I hand fed them for a couple of weeks which was a blast. Elton, well, he's just one of the most spectacular owls I've ever known! I just adore him.
Very nice pictures, everyone!
To continue the theme of winged creatures:
Here are some crows playing high above the floor of Yosemite Valley:

This bird was too quick for me to get a good shot of (from Joshua Tree Nat. Park):

This Pelican, on the other hand, was very photogenic -- he patiently posed on the Huntington Beach Pier for several shots. Maybe he thought fish would come out of the camera?

Ha ha, bluevictim! You just never know . . . maybe he'd seen a polariod camera before, or maybe he's just basking in the attention. =) Great shots!
Boy, don't I look great!

Petrarch, those beach shots are amazing, such beautiful colours. The one with the little girl in it was my favorite. :)
Niamh --- Ahhhh, a sugar-coated Dublin, to be sure! ;) I really liked that last one; lovely pix. :nod:
Dori -- great work with the closeups!
Logos -- your kitty is adorable, looks like you were being watched very carefully. ;)
Becca, I smiled at your naming the aloe vera plant, cute. ;) It must have been difficult to catch that bubble shot, I liked it! :)
weltanschauung -- your moth pictures are amazing. Loved them! And the 'gargoyle' looked like a doggy treat is in order! Cute. :nod:
Sophia, thanks for sharing those cute baby hawks.... adorable! :)
bluevictim -- I loved the pelican pictures, wish I could get that close to one!
subterranean - lol! :lol:
Yes, you never know. Maybe I should start walking around with a fake camera that dispenses fish so that all the pelicans in the area will hang out with anyone with a camera. :)Quote:

It was a little windy that day, can you tell?...

And we were able to stop at the Joshua Tree Forest on our way home...

Great pictures, Idril! It looks like you had a good time down here in the warmer parts of the country. :)
Speaking of joshua trees, here is one next to Uncle Willie's Health Food Store:

and here are some joshua trees at dusk:
http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1...m/IMG_0904.jpg
Idril and bluevictim -- I love all of your guy's pictures! I get to travel to Death Valley over spring break for a science class, and I'm really excited to see the clean beauty of the desert. =)
Aren't Joshua trees amazing? Did you know they are really a type of lily? And they only branch apart after they've flowered; so if you see a straight stalk, it hasn't flowered yet. =)
Sound like a great field trip, zanna! I hope you have fun. I didn't know those facts about Joshua trees; very interesting.
Was away in England for the weekend to visit friends and we took a trip to three locations in Herefordshire. :)
This is Croft's Castle

After Berrington Hall we went for a Drink in a 16th Century Pub called Live and let Live.

On the Sunday we went to Brockhampton Manor.

The rainy weather we had made this amazing building look quite creepy!

Absolutely gorgeous Niamh. :) What part of England is Herefordshire? (I know I could look it up, but I'm lazing tonight. ;))
Its in the west midlands bordering Wales. :) (lazy sod! :p )
Idril, very nice pictures. It looks like you girls had a very good time indeed. :)
bluevictim, very nice photos -- I saw joshua trees in California, cannot remember the location, but we were staying in Palm Springs and we took a looooong car ride ...
Niamh, great photos, my favorite was that 16th century pub (was it haunted?) ;)
Here are some pictures I took while in China over the past summer:

The pandas were super cute. Got really close to an owl in that last one. ;) Don't worry, there's actually a fence separating us.
Those terracotta soldiers are amazing. I really would like to see them some day.Good for you. It looks positively wicked... :lol:Quote:

I really liked that owl Higley.
:)
Higley> Love the photos! Thanks for posting them. I missed a Terracotta Army show last year in the UK. Will regret it for a long time I think.
And that owl... Would make an excellent avatar! :D
Great photos, higley! I believe my favorite would have to be that owl one -- fantastic shot, higley! :)
Probably was Kiz! :D
Higley Wow!!!! I am so jealous right now! Good to see you btw!!!
Another decent close-up of mine:
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/DSCF2248.jpg
Drip, drop, drip, drop :D
Wonderful photos Higley. I love them, especially the owl. May I ask how you got to spend a whole summer in China? Some sort of exchange?
Nice close up Dori.
Thanks guys!
Virg, it was indeed an exchange. I, along with two other students, spent two months in Xi'an studying traditional Chinese painting at a college there. It was quite an experience, the first time I'd been in another country and now I've got the traveling bug. ;)
Nice photo Dori!
Nice Picture Dori. :thumbs_up
Here are some signs of Spring.

So have you posted your pictures on this thread?:)
I love how the white roses look as if they are coming out of the blackness.
Nice pictures Snowqueen.
Thanks Niamh and thanks Virgil:)
I am working on close-ups these days ( A difficult job to do).
Snowqueen, I haven't yet, but I do have some I might like to! I'll have to read up on the process; I'm not very good with the more technical things of computers. =/
Isn't there a post -- maybe at the beginning of this thread, or somewhere else on the forums -- that explains how to upload photos? I'm going to look, but if someone knows of a particularly clear explanation, maybe they'd point me in the right direction?
Lovely photos, Snowqueen!!
Everybody should be anticipating my photos on Wednesday... I'm hosting a promotional photoshoot for my bakery, with five models (one of whom is also a photographer), and it's going to be a BEC photoshoot: meaning bubbles, costumes, crazy colors, cupcakes, cookies, zebra print, fuzzy pinkness, neon colors and insanity.
Oh sweet! I look forward to seeing it!Quote:

There is indeed just that: Cathycf started a threadful of instructions right here.Today we also have the option to start albums of our own, something that has been added since then: Go to User CP (to the left of the top of the page menu bar) and click Pictures & albums on the left hand menu you find there.Quote:
