a (very) little something to go with your ham on st patrick's day?

sundown soon...

G'wan, I just measured that sucker at over 7 inches.

Post 63 looks like a green slime mold - more common on your coast than mine - nice find - what was it attached to?

I think they're frog rggs.

eggs. Sorry

These are pretty funny. A friends
'gals' sneaking in the house last night.Attachment 17239

Green capelin roe is my best guess. Adhered to some seaweed, my fingers shown here for scale (not for hygiene :blush: ). This was at a very low tide on the Hood Canal near Quilecene. I moved them slightly, they're a single mass, and then I folded the seaweed back over them and resumed my hunt for dinner.

Could be - it was covered in spray paint and bullet holes, so I didn't bother to do an ID...it was just fun to find it sitting in the woods rotting

You people.
I used to feel inadequate about my photos. Now I work with real artists every day and I get it. That's what you guys are, you're just not making a living out of it by choice.

Beautiful photos. Really amazing - I would choose many of these for greetings cards and postcards. Please don't think I'm demeaning you this way - I have to really love something to send it.

What is that, jinx? It looks like gold bar reinforced concrete.

Pyrite in matrix.

FYI, BigV, I "got" your joke there. Green eggs and ham. Good one. Nice picture.

cool!

I just took this of my pooch lol

That is awesome! Hi puppy! :)

thanks Shawenee...note the snot coming out his nose lol

Damn - you and Jinx really do deserve eachother. You also have a talented eye. Forgot to say in the RFN thread - LOVE Jinx's practical but sexy low slung V-neck top.

Ahem - also love the composition of the photo. It looks like a storm's coming. Quite apposite in a shot (!) with a cannon.

Drive by of a fly by. What a lucky shot.

DAMN, BigV. That is beautiful!

Thank you very much. We were headed north on I-5 last summer coming home from a long camping trip. I took this picture out the driver's side window, splitting my attention between the viewfinder-ish and the brake lights of the car ahead of me. Like I said, it's a lucky shot. :)

Great pic BigV. What was your camera set up /film?

These are the very first results from a program I just downloaded to extract the exif data you requested. I've been looking for such a tool and while it is far too early in my experience with this one to offer an opinion of its utility, I will say it did a good job of the first request--get the exif data.

Put a nickel in and got a quarter's worth on that one, didn't you?

ExifPro Image Viewer

Hmm.. upon proofing my post, I see your question wasn't answered by the output of the program.

I used Tink's Nikon CoolPix L1, digital.

What? That program doesn't give you the pilot's names?
Damn nice picture anyway. :thumb:

Jinx is reading the instructions on how to operate the cannon. LJ was ragging on her driving on the way.

Snakes in my yard over a few years

That last one sure is docile.

Yea, he sort of lost his head over the whole encounter.

They're beautiful Merc!
So, how many are dangerous?
I love the red one especially (the same one used in your Hillary pic?)

PS, BigV - loved the photo but don't do it again.
Your life and the lives of your loved ones are not worth putting at risk - even minimal risk! - for a photo.
Leave that to war photographers.

Only the last 4 (3 snakes) are poisonous.

Seriously? the water snake isnt poisonous? It looks like it has venom glands.

For the Scarlet, I always remember..."Red next to Black is a friend of Jack, Red next to yellow will kill a fellow". To tell the difference between the Coral and Scarlet King....which isnt particularly helpful in Australia...but you just never know when I will need this info.

Oh, and the pigmy rattlers have such cute eyes.

Yeppers, the water snake is harmless. He was about 2.5 feet long and went in a hole under my sidewalk most likely after toads or moles. We have a seasonal swamp behind the house and have seen him 2 times in the last week, he must be hungry.

All of these snakes were from my yard.

We have no *good* snakes here, only seriously venomous bastards.

The most venomous and least aggressive is the Redbellied Black snake, and they are the ones to have around as they eat the other really nasty aggressive venomous snakes.

Oh and you got waaaay to close to them. Great Pics

I have it on good authority that this translates to
"I will find my frog"

i lol'd

Actually it says something about 'dear ____-dog friend mister', translating directly.
Some sort of.. letter to... someone with a dog? Maybe something about a lost dog, i think. Or maybe just something about picking up their shit. I see something about 'dog-out-door' with a question mark, but I don't know an apparently important character in the first sentence. I can read... 'dear'-(something)-'dog'-'friend'-'mister' (or 'husband'), but then it's ripped.

complete, word-for-word dump:

dear something dog friend mister (rip) please take(?) your love dog go(?) (rip) me something door go something ? something heart (posessive character) (rip) you. (name)

...or something like that.
hah.


EDIT: yes, i do get the joke. But I need the chinese practice anyway.

Chasing the sun
 

Taken yesterday afternoon, while riding with SonofV.

This was taken from a parking lot near my old home last month. Came out of the allergist and was thrilled that I had my camera with me. I got some amazing shots.

Here is one of my windows this winter. This happens at -10f and colder. These are the c. 1850 windows. At -20f we get that only at the edges of the new double pane low E argon filled ones in the rest of the house. Hopefully, these will be replaced this summer.

Fucking brilliant. I like everything about that.

Neat pictures....
 

Canon Photostitch...I'm standing on the front porch of my dad's cabin, right in between the two posts that appear to be at the far ends of the picture.

Cool pic Flint. I love the country.

Flint, that came out pretty good. When I use the Canon software the joins are usually visible.

Thanks. Me too.

First time I've used it, although I've had the camera for a few years. I took great care to staying perfectly level as I pivoted around. I used a slight overlap as a visual cue to line things up just right. Note, something interesting happened at the hood of the Jeep, which was slightly in motion.

Flint, Nice picture! I am just about to start messing around panorama's....
Thanks for sharing!

While waiting for Tink last night...

Across the street:

(neat in the sense that it was discussed in a different thread...)

Tink, my favorite subject.

I don't care who the hell you are, this is downright awesome! Thanks for sharing! :thumb:
