#5

Whenever you walk on a London street
It's ever so 'portant to watch your feet.
And it's ever so jolly to call out,
"Bears! Just look how I'm walking on all of the squares!"

#5 is my grandmother in Alberta, Canada. I'm not related to the bears.

My favorite view of the Duomo in Florence.



ETA: needed a smaller picture...

Katylit, in my opinion Pippin is a true work of art! Cutie pie.

oooooh, oooh, awww, look at those kittens!! *coos some more*

# 15

They were mewling and beeping, and they came out to investigate what I was doing walking around their property.

#17 - Nice! Two loves of your life in one shot! :o)

#13 - Okay, Arctic, I've seen that picture a zillion times, but I never noticed that awkward angle at which her neck is bent.

(Speaking of awkward, how about that sentence... LOL)

Arctic - Is the fella carrying the lady spewing? Or blowing wind?

#28 - And who's the lady wrapped around him? ;o)

Is it just me, or does he have 3 feet?

#31 - If that adorable critter is yours, no wonder you go into brainless pet-speak when you see a small furry critter!

That doggie is very very very cute. I like it. I want one....no wait, I have 5 dogs in the other room. Never mind.

Yeah, that was my first pet named Nick. He was 17 when he passed on (very old pic) a few years ago. As cheesy as it sounds, he was my only friend for a long time (up until I got into Uni.). It was hard leaving him behind in the states when I moved to Australia; but I didn't have the heart to put him in quarantine for six months. I left him with my mom, who took awesome care of him while I was gone. I was really lucky in that he actually passed away in my arms on a visit back to the US.

Buy yes, the brainless pet-speak did start with Nick ;).

I can see why he would be a special good friend. I just think it might not have been luck that he waited to say good-bye. Brainless pet-speak is a very good language to know.

I wouldn't put that past him; he was a very smart and sweet companion ;).

13 + 28 -- that's Zephyr, the guy they named the wind after, and his nymph girlfriend (but I don't remember her story)... 2 of those legs must be hers, although they do look a bit awkward...

Wow! drsol, those are fun.

Taken moments ago:

Very nice, friend. You are "the bomb" (is that the right use of the phrase?) Any way, I am impressed.

#41 Thanks, those were taken yesterday (except for the dog). My garden is finally waking up for spring :)

#42 very nice!

Thanks. Bugs are always fun to photograph.

My eyes! My eyes! I'm blind!!!!

#46 - *applauds loudly*
:o)

#49 - WHOA! That last one is especially cool! ... Like a giant Erector Set!

#52 - Wow! Like a mountain in a hat!

#52-is that Fuji w/the lenticular cloud? Mt. Rainier gets those ever now & then. High winds aloft form those as i learned in my Climatology (basic meteorology) course in college. That one in the lower picture is down right spooky! Great pictures- where did you find them JPB? 8^)

#53 - Reminds me of radioactive cloud in The Crawling Eye... *shudders*

Aren't they great? There are lots of sites on the web with pictures of them; turns out google search never shows the best, and I wish I could find the site I found yesterday. (History doesn't have it as my computer crashed).

They should be called White Pancake clouds.

The alien Chef Hats have landed, and they're changing into tasty treats...

This one is for all my GD friends. =)

#60 - OOOOOH!

ok, Irish, 'fess up. Where did you get the cool button, and where can we buy them in bulk to keep in a bowl on the bar? (And hand out at the various GD get-togethers!)

I love this picture :-)

What book are they holding?

Mine, I was in contact with a Peace worker in China who was teaching English to Chinese students. She wanted to start a teen book group of English language books so I donated a bunch of copies and she sent me a few pictures. I thought it was quite cool. The students even sent emails to me which I enjoyed as well.
