I’ve never tried those mangos; I don’t think they are grown here. I’m always keen to know about different kinds of mangos and I can distinguish most of them from their tastes and sizes.

Hello, it’s nice to see your comments. I just pressed the shutter button and my camera did rest of the job for me. Yes, that girl is very cute and has the eyes of Sharbat Gula. She will attract lots of suitors in the future, I’m sure. :D


Nice pictures, kittypaws! Keep posting.

Some photos I took of the places I was at for my summer job. Heavenly green.

A few very recent photos. I took these images when I visited my uncle last week. It was a short trip but I enjoyed it a lot.

And my two little cousins. The boy didn't want me to take his pictures. He told me to get out of his house!

That's a nice collection, Snowqueen. That looks like quite a posh settlement, nestling into the side of the hill surrounded by the trees. The views are impressive, but I wonder how keen the residents are to have that building site next door :D I love the way the clouds are looming up behind.

The kids are cute - Well, the girl is anyway. The boy looks like a putative Bond Villain lol. I guess that makes the other one a future Bond Girl!

Live and be well - H

I got my first camera recently, so why not...

My dog.

Stunning scenery, beautiful. Is that at or near Murree? Looks similar to you past pics of Muuree.
As always, the cousins are gorgeous. Looks like the young man has doffed a shoe.

It is a posh area and a well known hill station here. I can’t say anything about that building though!
Yes, my little cousin kept on giving me devilish smiles, I wonder why! :D


Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments.

Hi, Gilliatt, I haven’t seen you around lately.

Yes, these pictures are from Murree, my uncle lives there. It’s a place I never get tired of visiting. I love mountains.

My cousin didn’t want to wear his shoes, although he’s just a year old but very moody. It usually takes me five minutes to make friends with kids but this little guy is an exception.

Thank you for noticing by the way.

Hi Snowqueen! Your pictures are amazing.

Hi, Sophia! Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see some of your pics too.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...6&d=1388588388

Stunning shot! Can you tell where this picture is taken?

I hate to say everything at once, but here goes: Snowqueen, your little cousins are adorable. I especially love that first picture of the mountains, the mist and the trees. Volya and Kitty, thanks for the pics of the lovely dogs. Love that derelict building, Volya. I'd like to paint it and Snowqueen's misty mountains someday (when I can actually paint :)).

I love your paintings Qimi, I even tried to copy that little bird of yours, perhaps you didn't notice. :smilewinkgrin: Oh, there is already something for you in the mails. Keep an eye out for it.

A few pics from Nicaragua:

It came yesterday, Snowqueen! Thank you so much! It is adorable and lovely.

I guess I missed your bird. Is it here somewhere? Is it on the artist thread? Please tell me so I can look at what you've done and admire it!

Yes I got some hiking in, I climbed up two volcanos(one active), I did some kayaking, took a boat ride, and toured a couple cities. I didn't pick a good range of pictures, I stayed at 4 separate locations and only really spent one day relaxing at the beach.

I was looking at hiking on zappo's and one of the reviews said "I bought these shoes for hiking the cloud forest in Nicaragua and these were perfect" so I bought them too, I wasn't going to the cloud forest but I figured it was close enough. My shoes were super comfy.

Thanks for your comment Snowqueen ! It's Lake Saif-ul-Malook, located in North of Kaghan valley, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Yes Gilliatt, It is a sight worth seeing, a place where you can see Nature in it's full bloom.

Wow, these are stunning images Themis! I loved the first one.
Thanks for sharing.

You have a room with a view, Pensive! And Themis, you have gotten to take one of my dream vacations. Beautiful pics, guys.

What wonderful pictures! Especially the squirrel and the hawk almost next to one another on the same branch. And the last one's profile, these take my breath away.

Hi, Dreamwoven, thank you for stopping by and posting comments. So glad you liked my pictures.
Oh, and welcome to Litnet.

I've got my pics on my blog: http://tonywalton.blogspot.com/

I try to mix it up landscape stuff with black and white street photography plus some portraits.

Hi Snowy. Yeah, really like the bird looking over its shoulder at the mangey rat :D the last one's a great shot!

Hello Hawkie,
Thank you for taking a look at my pictures, and glad you liked them. Don't mind this 'mangey rat' I think it is just showing off its youth and courage. :D

It doesn't matter whether it is a rat or a squirrel, getting them both in the same picture so close to one another is a very fine picture.

Spring is here!

While I'm posting anyway...

Some company I had while waiting for the bus the other day. Total city ducks, too. They hopped off the grass by the library and walked right up to me, then pretended not to be begging by circling the whole bus stop checking the ground.

Turned up in my friend's pinball workshop the other day: A genuine old penny slot machine with cigarette brand logos on the wheels that pays off in tokens redeemable for packs of cigs (any 15 cent brand!). Talk about a different time.

From a day in January:

https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8766/...ec186655_z.jpg

Those extraordinary vertical rainbow effects are lovely.

Those are lovely, North Star. I think I can see where the pot of gold should be in the second picture. I checked out some of your photos on Flickr and even started an account of my own.

That picture with the squirrel approaching the hawk and the expression on the hawk's face is amazing, Snowqueen.

I remember when cigarettes where 25 cents a pack, Calidore. I also remember some of those quarters still had real silver in them which makes me wonder why I put them into those machines in the first place.

.
Two pics of my long departed mother's Amaryllis. She doesn't bloom every year, in fact it seems that it has been maybe four years or so since the last blooming.
I like to think of it as her way of paying us a visit. The plant is at least 30 years old and still going strong.
