Re: The Picture Thread III: Say Cheese!
Nice, Lupy! I especially like the P-38.
Here's a cactus with a brand new bud. I totally forgot to look for another cactus with a new blossom I'd seen when I didn't have the camera with me.

Emma, your picture is very good.
I just can't tell you what's going through my mind at the picture of the cactus bud.

^^ I think I can guess.
Nice stuff. And it looks like there was a good turnout, too. How old is that P-38?Lupine wrote:Here's some pics of the air show!
That's interesting. Cacti never seem to look like the stereotypical ones in cartoons.emma glitch wrote:Here's a cactus with a brand new bud. I totally forgot to look for another cactus with a new blossom I'd seen when I didn't have the camera with me.

So how about more cactus? Remember Cactus Critter? He has a new buddy. And opening blossom on another stem? Branch?

So just after WWII? It's an interesting-looking design.Lupine wrote:60 to 70 years.
Looks like the cacti are taking advantage of the milder weather to do some serious growing.emma glitch wrote:So how about more cactus? Remember Cactus Critter? He has a new buddy. And opening blossom on another stem? Branch?
Re: The Picture Thread III: Say Cheese!
The first P-38 entered service in 1941, but I'm not sure when that particular plane was built or how long they were in production. A lot of fire-power on those planes. I've heard tales of them literally cutting Zeros in half with their guns. The Japanese referred to them as "fork-tailed devils".RJDiogenes wrote:So just after WWII?

Re: The Picture Thread III: Say Cheese!
Yeah, and I think they may be waiting for me to go away before they bloom again. I've been prowling around with my camera, hoping for a good shot of an open bloom, but after the first one that I missed, so far just buds large and small.RJDiogenes wrote:Looks like the cacti are taking advantage of the milder weather to do some serious growing.emma glitch wrote:So how about more cactus?
