Pictures Taken By you...

[Virgil]

Very nice Olga.

[Janine]

The problem is that they are still rather massive, in spite of both thaw, rain and (would you believe it) a thunderstorm the other night. I will have to break them up with a shovel this weekend, or they will still be there well past midsummer.

Claes, I know what you mean. I saw mounds like this one recently at our local mall parking lot. It surprised me, because it got quite warm for a week or so and it rained a lot, so you would think they would be gone; but there they were - snow-covered mountains in southern NJ! If you don't get them broken up, look at this way, you can ski down them in the summer in bathing suits.

Um... I was actually... I have too much to do to like missing a day like that, but on the other hand I had the laptop with me.

You sound a little like my son; he actually loves his job and to go to work; but now having a little one around he rather enjoys those unexpected days off. However, this year has been too much shoveling so we are welcoming spring in with open arms.

Janine, Virgil, qimissung, Olga thanks for your lovely comments. And Olga your photos are truly amazing.

I dont know why photos will not load from my computer. The file says its a JPEG 2.58MG whatever that means. Here's some from Woodstock 1969:






Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friends all drive Porsche's

Easter holiday is gone but I would like to share a picture of painted eggs.
Do anybody paint eggs at Easter?



Here is another one I would like to share: Alps from the plane on Tuesday

Spring literally just came to my town yesterday (first day above 18 and without snow), so I went out into the woods and took some pictures.


First shoots of grass. You can barely see them. Look for a little shade of light green.


Still a bit of snow in places.


Coupla sqirrels. The one on the top branch was yelling at me and freaking out, that's why he's all blurry.


One of my favorite gnarled old trees.


I like this one growing out of a rock wall, too.


Aww, the first little baby pond scum. Isn't it cuuute? In about a month, this bog will be dark green. It'll have a layer of pond-scum two inches thick, and if you rip it open you'll be able to find this fantastic little ecosystem. There's a lot of life in there; tadpoles, water-beetles, little shrimp things... it's beautiful.



It's all pretty ugly and dusty and brown right now, but give it a month and it'll be green and beautiful and covered in wildflowers.


My pale little leg, and an occupational hazard of being a wild girl.


Back in town. The black and white house to the left is where I live. The purple car in the driveway is mine, and the blue truck is my brother's.

The woods are in DESPERATE need of water. One thunderstrike or failure to put out a campfire and we go up in flames.

Do I already sound like a forestry ranger, or what?

[Virgil]

Nice pictures Juniper. The mountains and woods where you live looks really neat.

[Maximilianus]

Really nice pictures everyone!

[dizzydoll]

Beautiful pix JW especially with the mountains in the background.

Here is a view from my windows as I type to you right now...

This one wows me, and thinking of all the pix Ive seen of the world, it truly shows we live on a very generous globe.

Very nice pictures JuniperWoolf, dizzy and stephofthenight! I would like to share some spring pictures taken last weekend in Basel.

[JuniperWoolf]

Those are really nice, the flowers make me miss spring and the pigeon makes me miss Petunia (a broken pigeon that I couldn't save, RIP).

Great photos JuniperWoolf.
We live on a creek with a small pool at one part that gets quite a bit of the scum in summer. However, any appreciable rain will clearit out.

I envy your ability to look out on the sea.
Thanks for sharing.

Kilgore !!
It is a small world. My now decesased paternal grandparents lived in Kilgore.

...in Basel.

Beautiful flowers Olga4real.
I passed through Basel many years ago.
Thanks for sharing.

Now I am envy Gilliatt. I have posted pictures of places I visited now I asked myself why don't post some pictures of Hungary - eventually it's a nice beautiful country. I don't want to seem that I don't appreciate what I have.

So here is some pictures I took today afternoon. Sorry for the quality - I didn't have my camera with me only my phone.



This is Tagore avenue the tree was planted by him.



Just a swan on the lake Balaton
