The Picture Thread VIII: Take the shot.

[Lupine]

Looks like the setting of a Stephen King story.

[RJDiogenes]

That makes me feel oddly proud.

[Elara]

^Great shot of the cardinal. Wish we had those here.

It's such a common bird here, that I forget that their range isn't the entire country.

No, it's the Mojave.

The church just doesn't have the resources that it used to.

Cardinal feeders are a big seller around here.

It explodes?!?

The hazards of eating exploding nuts:

This is my house from the mailbox across the street.

I feel like I am insulting you now by saying that it's a neat house.

And the old-fashioned diner on the corner from almost the same spot. I was disappointed because you can't see the sign.

Neon sign? They are a bear to get a good shot of.

No, I'm up for any kind of a compliment, thank you.

That would be bad enough, but the streetlight is right in front of it. It looked fine through my eyes.

It was above freezing this morning, so I headed down to the beach. I had to climb trudge through snow to get to the actual shore, and I only lasted about ten minutes because "above freezing" is not equivalent to "warm." I got a couple of pictures, though, and here's the best of them:



Slightly shaky, because I was shivering, but nice clouds.

^The Christmas version of Gilligan's Island.

[RJDiogenes]

Wow, it is. And they're not dressed for it, either.

[Lupine]

Some shots from the Pirate Faire yesterday.













(I found I can link pics from Facebook here).

That looks great. I love those metal sculptures.

That's cool. They must have upgraded the img code with the new PHB version.

The roadrunner nest on the porch.

[Elara]

^^^ That's neat. Did they just help themselves to your porch, or do you do what you can to invite them?

I noticed something about a few of the photos I took:

Is this a picture of wood?

Or the clay floor of a runoff?

Then there is the constant mud:

And the Help:

And, does this happen to anyone else, or just me? I have to simply submit in here, because I preview and this is the result:

[Lupine]

^Not sure what's happening there.

^^^ That's neat. Did they just help themselves to your porch, or do you do what you can to invite them?

No, they just moved in.

[RJDiogenes]

I have no idea what's happening with the attachments. It doesn't happen to me because I hyperlink from Postimage. I think that is a puzzle for huggle.

I can't wait for the baby Road Runners to hatch. We're all going to be aunts and uncles.

[Lupine]

^They laid a fifth egg yesterday.

[RJDiogenes]

Groovy. We're going to have a flock of Road Runners running the roads.
