Looks like clouds.:p:

That is Ailsa Craig. (A link to Wikipedia, but valid information in this case, I think ...)

limey that is an awesome photo.

Thanks plt! I don't do nothing clever, I just look out of the window and sometimes, when I see a good one, I nip out the back door and point and shoot. Quite often when I seen a good one, I just look at it :p:.

Beautiful picture, Limey. Are you in the middle of nowhere? Or do you have neighbors on the other side of your house?

Very nice pic, Limey.

Pete, we're in one of a pair of cottages in a pretty sparsely populated area ... Neighbours a quarter mile one way and half a mile the other. The "main" road runs right by our house, bus route and all that. I'm damn lucky is all I know! Thanks Grav!

70 degrees! BWAAAAAAA!!

THATS adorable.

Sort of boring, but usually you can see the mountains (longs peak, at least.) It is windy here today, but you really can't tell with a picture of dirt.

still a nice shot though

Thanks! It pretty much looks this way all the way around except for the house on the same farmyard to the east. Oh, and there are cows across the road. I should take a picture of those.

Who wants to see cows? Okay, here you go. my front yard and across the road.

If you stand on a stack of boxes in my office to look out the little transom window in the upper part of the wall by the ceiling, this is my view. Sweet view, huh?

Niiiiice.

All gorgeous.
Except Limey's as it shows what I missed by taking a trip to Arran in cloud-bound January.

Oh and Grav's - because I'm jealous of close ups of squirrels (which I adore and only see whisking about at the speed of sound these days).

And Kero's, because your horizon is so distant, but a completely different eco-system is still acessible.

And of course Glatt because you don't hate it enough NOT to have a sense of humour about it.

So effectively I hate you all. Buh-bye.

A friend of my hubby's, fishing in our pond. It's 80 degrees here!

He's kind of tiny in this one... a larger one here.

The weather this morning, then by 2pm it was sunny and not a drop of snow in sight. Now it is snowing again, sun, melting, rinse, repeat.

[yikes! humongous pics :eek:]

RF Last Night

We had torrential rains the other night, and wind. Probably more severe than I've heard since I've lived here. I love severe weather but it even woke me up a few times. Anyway, these are pics of the Great Miami river, which flows behind my place (A River Runs Through Me.) I apologize for the graininess. Apparently I suck at taking simple pictures with a camera phone (and I thought the Droid 2 was supposed to be a decent camera...I probably just have no idea what I'm doing.) The restaurant down the way is completely flooded on the bottom floor: nothing new for the restaurant but new for the new owners.

a couple more, pick from the best of the evils

I forgot to resize the big one, and it looks better than the resized ones.

grumble grumble

Run for your lives! The river is flooding!

It's usually really calm and still through that part of the river. You can see lots o'wildlife. Last night I could hear the river rushing, while I was inside. It's pretty amazing.

For some reason this puts me in mind of
The Pass is open!
The Pass is open!
All able-bodied men gather at the Meeting House!!

Shaw that seems awfully high to be so near your home?
Please tell me these aren't literally from your window?!

Nah, I walked across the driveway. It is very close to the top of the levee but I don't think it could ever get so high as to be a danger to me. I've never worried about being flooded out. The restaurant (right beyond the lights in the one pic) is set low, so there is a river view from the downstairs, and only when it gets really high does it flood.

I'm safe. :)

I'm relieved.

Sump'n spooked the kine ... (all except the one on the left, who was clearly hungry (or deaf)!)

RUN !! Teh cows have Spotted You !!!!

:lol:

Very nice, limey. :thumb2:

Mother Nature's April Fools Joke
wtf?

First there was this ...

Then there was this ...

Nice photos as always, limey.

Jim, hopefully mother nature said,'just kidding' and the weather is fine today.

MUCH better today!

Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer yet. I think I'll take the kids into Philly and wander around China Town and the Reading Terminal Market. Maybe ride the subway or something.

very nice jim

You'll have a great time and that is good to know.

Not exactly outside my window, but just a little bit down the road from me

It looks like the same kind of weather here today syc. In fact it could be a road in my town and since I was grappling with the idea of posting a pic, I won't now. :)

I live in Kansas City...the photo is from nearby Leawood, KS. Don't let my photo stop you...post away! :)

The first two are within a couple of weeks or so, but the ducks are rfn.
The first picture is photo-shopped to restore the colors which were fading fast. By the time I got my camera the sun set further and the colors were not as vivid.

You have a POOL?!
Not talking to you any more Sky. You're too grand for me.

That might be considered a pool in England where everything is small, in the US that's a birdbath.

And in Texas, that's just a puddle.

It's a community birdbath :lol2:

You're all wrong. That there's one them new-fangled cement ponds.

Brushing up your skills before skinny dipping season, eh. ;)

Momdigr just returned from a little road trip. This is what the rental company gave her. I turned my nose up when she said compact, and winced when she said Ford Focus.

There's actually a lot more car there than I was expecting, but it ain't no Park Avenue.


BTW: How do ya like my giraffe-skin porch treatment?

I like it. I like the gnome too.

I saw this from my window yesterday evening, but moved a few yards to the north to give me a perspective with no overhead lines in the frame. It was beautiful.

Very nice BigV! Aren't clouds amazing?!

Very nice V. Reminds me of a Maxfield Parrish.

Yes! You have no idea. I have countless pictures of the sky.
Wow, first of all, thanks for the education about Maxfield Parrish. Second, damn, that's a my-T-fyne compliment. Thank you, sir.

Oh, yes I do! We have a lot of good sky here, too!

Here's a photo of my fine "hoopty". The rear tires are 2 sizes larger than the front. Small town budgets suck! Also the view from my window sucks big time!!

View from my window sucks too. :p:

RF a day or two ago. Hey, look, it ain't raining.

RF a day or two ago. Hey, look, it's raining. Shocker.:right:

I haven't contributed in a while. Here's the view from my office window, as of a few minutes ago.

The picture is almost impressionistic.

burr...My impression is of extreme coldness. * cranks up my heater*

Beautiful clouds BigV

rfn yesterday and last week. Taken with my cell phone.

Jeez, what a nest in that tree! Squirrel, I guess?
