Grant?

The Dwellar known as Perry Winkle used to go by Grant.

Ahhhhhh...

A snail I saw the other day on a wall near my house

On my front doorstep, yesterday:

Just south of the KY/TN line.

Danged ol' fence.:mad:

A church in South Carolina that was built in 1854. It survived the Civil War/Sherman's march to the sea and multiple hurricanes.

The church, in and of itself, is striking - and your pic captures it nicely.

Glad you like it. Here's a picture of the inside. Framing, pews, and stained glass windows are all original. The church is Lutheran, sits right on the bank of the May River on the coast.

Is that siding Cypress?

They said it was some sort of pine, didn't specify. Used to be completely whitewashed but its all worn off now.

OK, Long Leaf Yellow Pine, most likely.

Been in New Orleans for a few days and checked out one of the old cemeteries. Then I went to the Chalmette National Battlefield and Cemetery where the battle that ended the War of 1812 happened.

USCT stands for US Colored Troops who were free men of color as they refer to them. Maybe this guy was born in January???

From about 1864 to 1966 a small black community thrived there but the US parks department forced them to sell their land for the park with the help of the local politician who wanted to lower the power of black voters by removing them. So where did they go? The Ninth Ward. Sucks...

Beautiful, Chris, the B&W works. :thumb:

Nice pix.

I really like your use of depth of field in the first headstone shot. Black and white worked out really well there too showing off the textures and contrast. Nice stuff.

Northeast PA, there are lives tucked into every valley. The Appalachian Trail runs along the far ridge.

Chris' post #1096, the B&W angel ... does she come to life every Mardi Gras to earn those beads?

He proposed. :hearts:
Since he treats me like a princess,
he bought me a ring that looks like a crown. :queen:

Beautiful and very unique. Congratulations. :thumb:

Congratulations impress! What a cool and unique ring. :)

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Impress! And an awesome photo of the ring.

my 2 1/2 yo granddaughter at the Camden aquarium this weekend. The funny part is this picture is a complete accident.

Although it looks like it is either posed or she is reacting to the shark - it is neither. She was saying CHEESE really loud and she happened to look back just at the moment the shutter clicked.

Funniest part - when I showed her the pic. she said "that's cute" in a very cute 2 YO voice :)

Way to go, Grandma.;)

October is our time for garden spiders...
The wasps will be here soon to harvest them for their nests

I like that shot.

Like taking the wind out of another's sails: I'll take the flies out of your net!

Speaking of flies...:flycatch:

That's pretty cool. Did you take that, digger?

I did. Thanx. I had a very cooperative model.

Popdigr: 68, quintuple by-pass, and passes out cold if he forgets to eat right...Just spent seven days alone, hunting in Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area.

Crazy bugger...This was HQ.

Follow your heart...

Never been there, but have heard a lot of good things about the area.

Obviously a man whose spirit will not accept the limitations of his flesh. Make sure he knows how proud you are of him. :)

Was going through some old digital camera pics from my first digital cam, a Kodak DC3200. One whole megapixel. When the power switch went south, I got a better camera, but I bought another DC3200 off eBay for $1.00, just because.

Anyway, I found this existing light pic of Popdigr from 2002.

Great Pic. We should start a thread of pics of our parents. I have recently come across some great pics of my Dad when he was in the Navy and a few of him as a High School Priniple and Super.

It was fortunate that I took my camera with me on Tuesday this week.

Home is somewhere beneath that half a cubic mile of mist:eek:

Taken at about the same time as the image above. That isn't snow on the trees, it's hoar frost.

very nice!

My thumbdrive.

reminds me of the duck in "little miss sunshine.

Carruthers, beautiful.

I may have posted this, not sure. Here is dad somewhere in the south pacific during WWII. Looks like barracks behind them so maybe it was stateside?

He's in the back, middle with the goofy hat. He knew goofy hats were an instant laugh. I would not be surprised if he invented the "lampshade on your head gambit." The guy to his right (no head cover) was the guy who went back to the beach under fire to drag my dad into an evac boat after he'd been left for dead. He was just unconscious.

What a great picture!

Yes, but I actually didn't take it.

Oh, I knew that. Duh.

What few pictures I've seen of you over the years, you look like your dad.

Yeah, more so as I've gotten older. I should dig up a picture of my mom, my younger sister and *cough* myself. We look like three people who look really a lot like one another.

I'd say that I have seen that picture somewhere before.

... Maybe that was Cabo.

Edit: and thank you for post 1131.

This Vixen used to visit every evening and we'd put scraps out for her. Unfortunately, she never brought her cubs along.
I think that the poor soul perished on the road as many do.

I like the fox. :)

What a FOX!

Great snap Carruthers!:thumb:

Our first snowflake fell today. Also, our 100,456,354,297,335,546,256th snowflake fell today. And all those in between. Two inches now, and still falling. Wind has positively howled all day. Visibilty less than five hundred feet at times...Our fair city is paralyzed.:lol2:

This was about 4pm.

It's Fox News.

It certainly was.

I'd sit on the steps down to the back garden and gently lob any scraps of meat we had left over. At times I'd use dog food and on one occasion the Fox attempted to take it straight from the spoon. Unfortunately she grabbed the spoon as well, dropped it and, as a consequence, ran off in fright. She was soon back.

I've got farming friends who would have been mortified had they known I was feeding a Fox!
I can trust you Dwellars to keep a secret now, can't I? CAN'T I? :blah:

Willamette River 12/13/10 - Sign: "No Life Guards on Duty"

I slipped on a rock just as the shutter went off.
Can you see the 2 ducks ?
