The one in the trees reminds me of the poem by Robert Frost, "Stopping By A Woods On A Snowy Evening".

The first picture scared the heck out of me. Looks like a child ghost and those look the creepiest! :eek: The second picture is pretty but rather eerie looking.

oh i'm gonna! i could most likely take every category at the track alone!
plthijinx • Jan 24, 2011 12:49 am
of course i sit here and brag how i can do this all at the track and either i miss the opportunity because i'm at the other track or the moment only lasted for a second. ffs.
plthijinx • Jan 24, 2011 12:50 am
we have two tracks at work. a quarter mile and a half mile...quarter mile has better opportunities....
Tulip • Jan 24, 2011 11:10 pm

plthijinx • Jan 25, 2011 10:35 am

I feel so lonely here in this thread :thepain:
Sundae • Feb 5, 2011 3:55 pm
Not a candidate as I took this a while ago but forgot to post.
I am simply posting this to make Nirv feel less lonely.

(I'm working on the rest of them, but VD isn't exactly my favourite time of year)

Heart shaped bagels.
They are so, see?
Gravdigr • Feb 6, 2011 3:59 am

plthijinx • Feb 7, 2011 4:26 am

Nirvana • Feb 10, 2011 7:33 pm
Well I am leaving for NY at 3am and since this will end before I come back I either win win win :rolleyes: or I am a loser because no one else wants to play :sniff: See ya when I get back.

nice pics.

I miss having a camera.

Re unusual obsession...my ceramics teacher could probably top your beer cap collection, but is currently in tennessee, retriieving the object of his curresnt obsession - an antique airstream trailer. So far he's worked for 2 months on the ceramic airstream replica birdhouse. He rocks.

Yeah, bottle caps aren't too unusual, but, lighters (the only other thing I got) are even less so. I should've taken a pic of all Popdigr's bows. He has about 20 or so.

Gasp!! But, wait...
