A nut. I don't what kind....

those swamp plants? They don't look like that when my kids bust them open!

now it's a nut? Oh I'm confused.

Pretty sky.

Beautiful shot.

Gargoyle on a building in Cardiff Bay.
Building also shown for reference (the photo was taken with zoom, not cropped)

Nice zoom!

Look at the weird snow pattern on this light/surveillance pole in front of the Secret Service building. Wild, huh?

It's a snake, a snake!

When you take a picture with a cheap camera phone it just doesn't do the rainbow justice.

that's an awesome pic for a phone.

Thanks, but I wish it could be more awesome. It was a huge rainbow. The largest I had seen in quite some time.

This big? :haha:

yes that big!

peas

Very cool.

Now I have to take a pea... ;)

Okay, well, the picture was taken with my camera phone, so not the best, but I like it anyways. Carson City, Nevada early morning.

More peas... 9 in the pod, the kids wanted it documented...

Is nine an inappropriate number of peas for a pod? I have no idea.

Two is OK, three is kinky, but four is pornographic. Nine? OMG, think of the children.:eek:

Yeah, it's just a lot... they were all packed in there like...

8 have been born 22 more to go! :)

Excellent! :thumb:

Nice photos jinx.

Good work Nirvana. Any idea who the father is?

*snort*

Dude, you made the milk come out my nose! And I haven't had any milk since yesterday!

30 calves in one litter? OMG the poor mother cow...

Out my office window this morning. The phone camera didn't do it justice. Actually this is out my bedroom window next to my desk. I love mornings like this. It ensures a great day.

I like your photo's impress and Agent-G.

Nirvana I am very jealous :) but Congratulations on the new life!
What a wonder.

One of the local bingo halls partially burned a while back. This fan was eighty to a hundred feet from the nearest flames. That's warm.

Cool.:thumb:

Amazing how the heat didn't melt the plastic coating on the ceiling insulation.

Mar 10 sunset (still haven't quite figured out the auto-focus system on the new camera)

Super-heated gases collect up in the ceiling and spread out, which is why with no fire near it something up there like that fan get damaged like that a good distance from the actual flames. Notice how black the fan is but isn't seared or charred, that's heavy particle accumulation from the hot smoke that gathered up high.

I went to the butterfly exhibit at the San Diego Wild Animal Park yesterday. Took hundreds of pictures. Here are the ones I like best.

First: Same butterfly, outside and in. Anyone have any clue what kind this is? I've never seen it before.

[Gunnery Sgt. Hartman] Outstanding! [/Gunnery Sgt. Hartman]

The first looks like a White Admrial, or a variation of said.

Haven't been able to ID the second. yet.

Had 3 of my grands for a long weekend while their parents took a break. I bought several outdoor type toys; soap bubble guns, Tonka type trucks and some little buckets and shovels.

A few more

Loved playing in the dirt when I was a kid. I also created a game of picking up all of the pine cones in the yard, now it's nice and cleaned up!

Those are awesome shots!

The last one make her look like she is going to give Laura Croft a run for her money.

:D great pics.

Look what happens when a great photographer captures the excellence of ordinary life.

OMG what age for pierced ears these days

Great shots Chris.

Heh

What adorable looking kids!!!


From what I've heard, parents should pierce the baby's ears before they are one year old because they won't know the fear of the pain yet. As they are older, the piercing gun will scare them and after piercing the first ear, they would freak out to see the gun coming after their second ear.

Good gracious! Those are some beautiful children!

Oh, the pics are pretty nice too.

Thanks Chris, great shots. Bubbles are the bestest toy.

What a gorgeous little family.

Cellar kids are the most beautifulest.

Do ya think we'll have any apples this year?
