I like the proportions of each layer; sand- water -sky.
Just found a batch of pictures from a San Diego vacation several years ago. Here's a few from the train ride there and back. This is why I always take Amtrak.
All of these were taken through the train window.

Nice, very nice. Thanks for sharing.
I like variety of landscapes that you’ve captured in your pictures. I always take the photos whenever I’m travelling. Thanks for sharing, Calidore.Quote:

Nice photos Madhuri. The home isolated in the field would make a nice, peaceful escape.
^ the cave paintings remind me of the petroglyps / pictographs common through the U.S. Southwest.
Here are two examples I took at Chaco Canyon National Historic Park in New Mexico:

Nope, it's the first photo I've taken with my phone besides self-pics. I know I'm a narcissist :p. Tis a difficult habit to break for us young people.Quote:

A few shots of a Green Anole on our fence:

The dilated pupil on the second picture of the Green Anole made me wonder if that meant something similar to what it might mean in humans. It certainly knew you were watching it. Nice pictures.

Some beginner level photomanips of mine. I'm having a really difficult time with lighting but I guess I shouldn't expect much from an iPhone :p
I literally added over 22 filters to the Bentley one
Our mango trees haven’t borne fruit yet; their branches are filled with blossoms though. Hopefully they will turn into tiny mangos by the end of this month. We have mostly grown Chaunca mango trees.Quote:

Nice close up shots, Gilliatt. I never mustered up the courage to take photos of lizards and other crawling creatures that I often see around my house during summer. lol
Thank you :DQuote:

Jesus, what's with the green dinosaur thing on the back garden? Scary looking. Looks like it bites. I wouldn't be staying around to find out.Quote:

Look...just play along and read through the Texas BFcon thread starting about post 17. Ever since I laid eyes on her, I needed to have her close at hand hence the avatar.
God, that anole looks just like the ones you get in the pet store, too.
Forgot to mention, Gilliatt, nice pic of your wife. Is she on board with the whole Sophia thing? :D
Thanks.Quote:

How about something to take our minds off of recent tragic news or otherwise Monday blues.
This has to be about the cutest darn thing I've seen in a long time.
It brought a lump to my throat when I spotted the little fella.
There is a rabbit den in the backyard that I've been monitoring and protecting to the best of my ability, primarily against our dog.
Today they finally began to venture out beyond the fenced enclosure I placed around the den. So far we have spotted three.

Hello Snowqueen.
Wow, those eyes, she is a doll!
Hi there! :seeya:
Yes, her eyes beautiful. Thanks for noticing. By the way, I read in the newspaper about violent storms in Taxes. I hope you and the rest of your family members are safe.
Amazing pic .!!! LOVED IT
Thanks ACm Stha and welcome to Litnet.
"Taxes"!, careful with that word, there's a lot of Tea Party loyalists lurking about -heheQuote:

Ah, a very welcome sign of spring, kittypaws. :)
It's a nice close up shot, Kittypaws. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, Gilliatt, the baby bunny! So adorable. Thank you for guarding them from your dog, who would, I'm sure, have a lot of, um, fun with them.
Snowqueen, your pictures are beautiful, as is that child!
That is a beautiful spring flower, kittypaws. Thank you all for enlivening our pages with such beautiful images.
Thanks for taking a look at the pictures, Qimi. :)
thank you Idril!Quote:

I would like to share some photos of adorable creatures that comfort our lives in more ways then one. Those of you who have not visited my blog on the Dog Park may not know that I work there as a part-time attendant. I see and live many wonderful and some times not so wonderful moments. I just recently began to carry my camera along.

Looks like business is doing well at the dog park. I recall some of the not so good stories.Quote:

Hahahaha! Yes Gilliatt some times were not so great at the Dog Park but C'est la vie! Things are turning around now....since I have been in charge! :brow:Quote:

This type is known as the Amrapali mango tree and it starts bearing fruits when it is small. We do have other types of mango trees; but I can't make out the difference.Quote:
