Pictures Taken By you...

[ClaesGefvenberg]

They look like frangipanis. We have some frangipani trees in our garden

Frangipanis... Thank you, sprinks.

Kafka's Crow: Great pictures from that Zoo.

Themis: I loved your Irish pictures in general, and that first one in particular. Very dramatic.

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.

More Karphatos pictures:


We found this spider on the bedroom wall. The missus promptly freaked out.


Fishing boat and crystal clear water.


A very beautiful location for a graveyard.


A tiny grasshopper, gently coaxed out of the shadow so i could get this shot.


Cactus flower. It only lasted two days.


Pigadia by night.


Pigadia Harbour at sunset.

Lovely sky shot, Fifth! Whenever our skies have something prettier than usual (pink clouds, etc.) I always think of you.

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:

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.

I think Facebook sized the pictures down when I uploaded them. They were larger on my desktop.

Thank you, and thanks djy78usa and pussnboots, for all of your comments.

[Virgil]

Yes very nice Dori. I like the first one best.

[Dori]

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.

[Themis]

@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.

[Pensive]

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.

By the way, I almost freaked out over that close up of the spider.

So did my wife, I'm afraid: First when she found the spider and then once more when she saw the picture 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.

O how much I love clouds!

I hear you. Clouds have always been one of my favourite targets to point the camera at. I used to be a glider pilot after all.

I'm not sure if anyone who doesn't have a facebook can see them or no

We can not, so thank you for posting them here.

Frangipanis... Thank you, sprinks.

Glad to help . Lovely and interesting photos!

Sprinks, lovely pix, wished those flowers would grow in my garden!

Thank you . I love that second photo of yours



Dori - lovely skies in those photos

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?
