[glenneaglesfan]

PM, those are such lovely pictures of the Eastern Bluebirds. I'm a retired twitcher and have just had to check my database to confirm that I saw a beautiful male at Crystal River, in Florida 2005, where I also had the life affirming experience of swimming among manatees.

Brooke, that nest is so plucky, I do hope it is successful! Is it an American Robin?

VA, best of luck with the cicadas. It sounds like a nightmare.

[zeldabjr]

PM...awesome pics..I adore birds...I think they are fascinating little creatures to watch...don't think I've ever seen an Eastern Bluebird...we have Bluejays here but have never seen a bluebird...

[Brooke]

Brooke, that nest is so plucky, I do hope it is successful! Is it an American Robin?


I would guess it to be, but not positive.

And bluebirds are so beautiful. Love watching them fly around in our yard. We have a couple nesting boxes and they are always in them. A wren has taken one for the moment though. And are so chatty!

[Brooke]

The strawberries are finally ready! :yay: No they aren't from my garden, but from the Amish store a few miles away.

Of course everyone wants their's a little different! YUM!

[Prettymaid]

Oh would you look at that...:drool:

Brooke, I just noticed, you have mixed Fiestaware! I do too!

[Henley Honey]

They all look scrumptious!!!!

[Witchy Woman]

Strawberry Shortcake is awesome in the summer (and all year !!)

[zeldabjr]

oh Brooke...that would make a great bedtime snack now!...looks delicious!!

[Outlawman13]

That looks so delicious!!! I need to have some strawberry shortcake soon.

[Glennsallnighter]

Yummy Brooke!

[Houston Baby]

Those strawberries look so delicious I can almost taste them! It reminds me that I have not been to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City FL in about 5 years! It was always so much fun & the strawberry shortcakes were awesome!! And the strawberry jam, strawberry ice cream, strawberry milkshakes, fresh strawberries, etc! :hilarious:

Such a tummy ache but it was always totally worth it!!!

[Brooke]

Oh would you look at that...:drool:

Brooke, I just noticed, you have mixed Fiestaware! I do too!

Don't ya just love it, Pm? I do! I've been collecting it for probably 15 or 16 years now. I started out with a set of 4 colors; rose, periwinkle blue, seafoam green, and apricot. Maybe 5 years ago I started adding colors. Love it! And it's made in America! :thumbsup:

And the strawberries are wonderful!

[glenneaglesfan]

Brooke, those strawberries look scrumptious! i am trying to grow some in containers, but they're a bit sad at the moment!

[Prettymaid]

You've got some pretty colors!

[Troubadour]

Mmmm, I love strawberries!

[TimothyBFan]

I grew up in Amish country here in Indiana and I still drive down every couple of months and visit all my favorite Amish markets. This past Saturday, I went but this time I took my sister in law and several nieces who are not familiar with the Amish. So I not only took them to the out of the way markets no one really knows about unless you're from around there, I also took them to one of the "tourist traps", Amish Acres. As we were coming out of the fudge shop, this guy caught our attention sitting on a railing of the second floor of the bakery. I thought he was so majestic looking, I had to snap a picture.

[Prettymaid]

Pretty as a peacock!

[Outlawman13]

That is a beautiful peacock Willie!!! Loving the pretty feathers. Thank you for sharing

[Troubadour]

Beautiful! There is a pub in the New Forest that my grandparents would often take us to for lunch and peacocks would roam freely around the tables in the garden. My sister and I always loved it there.

[Brooke]

Pretty bird! Can't you just hear it saying that?! Although, I don't think peacocks talk, they screech! Someone here in my town has a couple of them they keep in their yard.

Thanks TBF!

[Prettymaid]

Wow, is that legal?

[Brooke]

Wow, is that legal?

I haven't a clue, but they've had them for years! And we're talking about a town of maybe 200 with only the county sheriff dept. cruising through once in a while! :lol:

[Prettymaid]

Google to the rescue!

It seems that it is legal to own peacocks in most states, since they are not native animals, but exotics. But you have to be something like 10 miles away from a city. It also says they're noisy and aggressive. :shrug:

[Outlawman13]

When I was living in California, there was a peacock no more than 3 minutes away from me. I would hear that peacock squawking all the time, but it was so cool. I would walk down there (where the bird was living) and saw that it would be out of the fence sometimes. LOL. Chasing it was fun. LOL.

[Houston Baby]

OM13 -I bet that was a funny picture - you chasing the peacock OR was it the other way around? :hilarious:

[Outlawman13]

Lol no it was me chasing it. So many years ago

[TimothyBFan]

They are noisy. That one let out a heck of a squawk when we were standing there.

I've heard they can be aggressive which I always found funny because the local zoo has always, since I can remember, had several of them on the grounds just running around. They seem pretty nice but I've never tempted them.

Good to know Pm! Thanks for checking. I'd hate to have to tell these people they had been violating the law for 30 years! :hilarious:

[glenneaglesfan]

PM, that's a lovely pic of the peacock. Someone in the next village to ours keeps them, and if the wind's in the right direction you can hear them!

A few pics from my holiday in Turkey:

Omg gorgous pictures. Such handsome sons with their beautiful mom.
Hope u all had fun. The sunset picture is beautiful!!
Hope you all had a blast and relaxed:drool:

[SallyGee]

Beautiful pictures! Such handsome sons. Hope you were able to get some much needed rest and peace.

[Prettymaid]

Thanks for sharing your photos, GEF. You and your boys look so relaxed! That is a beautiful picture of the sunset...looks like a postcard. I hope this trip gave you some much needed downtime.

Oh, and I love those dining chairs!

[GlennLover]

Nice pics, GEF! Looks like a lovely place.

[Outlawman13]

I'm glad that you had a pleasant time in Turkey!!! I'm loving those pictures!!! They are way too beautiful!!! A beautiful place to get away for sure!!! You are pretty and your sons are handsome.

[Glennsallnighter]

Beautiful pics Kate! I'm into sunsets at the moment and that one is absolutely superb. Both your sons look absolutely lovely, and very proud of their Mom!

I'm glad you have had some time to relax!

I bet there was a LOT of GF played on the iPod while you relaxed by that pool......

[EaglesKiwi]

GEF, you look like you had a great time in Turkey. Just reading about you going there brought back lots of memories for me - I holidayed there in early 1996 - and you look like you enjoyed the place as much as I did! :grin:

[Brooke]

Kate, your pictures are beautiful! May I ask what area of Turkey did you go to?

[Troubadour]

Fantastic pictures, GEF! Turkey looks beautiful and you and your sons look lovely. I hope you had the rest that you deserve. :hug:

[Houston Baby]

Great pics GEF! I love the photos of you & your sons especially the one of y'all sitting on the rock wall. Such a beautiful family!
And the sunset pic is absolutely beautiful! You should have that one enlarged & framed for a wall.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time & got to spend some relaxing moments with your loving sons! It was perfect timing for you to make some new memories.....take care!

[TimothyBFan]

Beautiful pics, Kate!! Glad you had a wonderful time!!

[WalshFan88]

Well I ended up coming away from the auction with 2 Fender Mustang guitars from the 60s. A '65 in white, and a '66 in red. OMG they are nice! The red is in close to mint condition so it will be a wallhanger with just playing at home, the white rougher shape one will be a live guitar - in fact that's what I'll take next weekend to play Gold Dust Woman on - it nails it!

Those are so incredible!!! I love their look and love to hear how they play.

[sodascouts]

Well, I finally got my South Africa photos up!

http://s6.photobucket.com/user/sodascouts/library/SouthAfrica2013

Beautiful pictures, Soda. South Africa is not at all as I pictured in my head.
What an experience for you!

Congratulation on your new editions, WF. They're beautiful!!!

[Houston Baby]

Great news Austin! It sounds like you had a great time. I love the red one - just beautiful! !

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Nancy they are such beautiful pictures and it must have been a grand adventure.
As HH said not what I imagined at all.

Austin.....nice guitars enjoy them

[Houston Baby]

Nancy - I love your photos! South Africa looks like a beautiful country. The water & coastline at the Cape of Good Hope are stunning! And how cool was that to see penguins on the beach?

The sign of Rugged Glen - they misspelled his name. Too bad!! :hilarious: Rugged Glenn has a nice ring (& image) to it!!

What a truly memorable experience for you!!

OMG - What kind of snake is that?

[Outlawman13]

Nancy, those are beautiful pictures of Africa. That python is so amazing. I love snakes. LOL. Man I don't know which picture I love the best. You take amazing pictures girl. Love them!!

[sodascouts]

Glad you like the photos, guys!

South Africa is very disparate. You have oceans, mountains, deserts, grasslands... all in the same country!

It was very cool! The penguins were so tame - obviously very used to being fed by people despite all the signs telling visitors not to do so. In fact one waddled up expectantly to the boardwalk where I was, and appeared none too happy when he realized I had no treats for him. lol

And yeah, too bad about the "Glen" misspelling - especially since it was the location of a golf course. :lol:


OMG - What kind of snake is that?A python! And it was scary!

[Troubadour]

Love the photos, Nancy! You're right - South Africa is a country of contrasts, for sure.

[TimothyBFan]

Awesome pictures!!




A python! And it was scary!

I kind of gathered that by the look on your face. :hilarious: How heavy is a snake like that?

[WalshFan88]

Great pics Nancy - glad you had a fun and safe trip to Africa!!! I don't care much for snakes either.. My dad has a severe phobia of them. I have my own phobia that I'm more scared of than snakes (and it's another type of creature). My mom's phobia is spiders. I'm not saying what mine is cuz I'll be called a chicken. :hilarious:

----

Thanks everyone!

[prayfordaylight]

I'm also terrified of spiders. Not fond of snakes either but I could probably handle that one...not necessarily on me though!

[Troubadour]

I held a python once and loved it! Weirdly, I've never been freaked out by snakes. I'm more scared of daddy-longlegs! lol.

I love your pics of Jo'burg, Nancy. Cities are fascinating. I love seeing them from above.

It's chihuahuas, isn't it?

Loved your pictures, Soda!

[WalshFan88]

Haha no.. It's a certain rodent that shares it's name with a piece of computer hardware.. And it's big brother gives me even more creeps. ;) Dare not say their names, lol.

You do remember we're mostly a bunch of women, right? Like we're going to call you chicken for being scared of mice...

Bwawk!!! Bwawk Bwawk Bwawk!!!:hilarious:

[sodascouts]

How heavy is a snake like that?

I don't know for sure - he felt pretty heavy though. Maybe 100 pounds (since he was hanging around me I didn't have to lift him).

[Glennsallnighter]

Wonderful pics Nancy! The scenery is spectacular. A land of many contrasts indeed.

[Brooke]

Nancy, your pictures of Africa are fantastic! Thanks for sharing them with us!

I would never hold a snake like that. Any snake, big or little! I just hate them! You look like you're not too crazy about it either! :lol:

Loved the scenery! Looks to be a beautiful place! What an adventure for you!

WF, those are two very nice guitars! Enjoy them! :thumbsup:

[Prettymaid]

Aw, snakes get a bad reputation. They're good for the ecosystem. They keep the rodent population down. Hey, if a snake ever surprised me in my yard I'm sure I'd freak out, but I wouldn't kill it or anything. It's just a matter of respect.

[Brooke]

The last time I encountered a snake I was mowing the yard. I'll let you imagine what happened next......

[Prettymaid]

Oh, Brooke...:headshake:


Well, let's get back to pictures!

:rofl: This is a harmless Garter Snake. It is very beneficial in the garden. Okay, I'll stop now. ;-)

[Outlawman13]

LOL I really love snakes so much and I will give it it's respect for sure. Garter snakes are so cute. I used to see those all the time in California (where I used to live). My favvies are Pythons and King Snakes!!!
Here is a King Snake (used to own one)

Thanks Brooke!

Willie - you just wait! ;)

[Houston Baby]

Ok - this thread is starting to FREAK me out!! :fear:

[WalshFan88]

http://i43.tinypic.com/qpknbr.jpg

IIRC, Willie is afraid of SPIDERS.....

I apologize for those who are also fearful, but I had to get her back.

[TimothyBFan]

Now that's just not fair!!!! I freaking hate those things!!! :fear: And how long did it take you to find the ugliest one online there is! YUCKO!!!!!

Let's call a truce now. No more spiders or mice or snakes or other creepy crawlies. I don't want us all having nightmares. I'm not coming back to this thread for a few days. Got to get to the next page of post before I bring it up again so I don't scroll up and see that again. :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

Okay, since I'm to blame for starting it, I'll change the subject. I just went out to the garage and took a picture of our new car - you know, the one that got a crack in the windshield coming home from Louisville. :eyebrow:

[Houston Baby]

Beautiful car PM!
Sorry to hear about the windshield. :-(

[Glennsallnighter]

Gorgeous car PM! Love the colour.

[Brooke]

It's gorgeous Pm! How does it ride?

I have to drive on a lot of hilly, curvy state roads that are rather worn and bumpy. My Jeep Liberty rides like a bucking bronco! You can bet any new car I get will be test driven on some of these back roads before I buy again!

[Troubadour]

Very nice, PM! I absolutely love the colour.

[WalshFan88]

Nice car PM!

Here's a photo from the gig yesterday!

[Troubadour]

Very cool, Austin!

[Houston Baby]

Love the photo Austin! Thanks for sharing!

[Prettymaid]

Great photo, WF! Of course I knew you would represent the Eagles! Glad the weather cooperated and it wasn't as hot as it has been.

[WalshFan88]

Thanks everyone!!! I even had on a Joe Walsh Tshirt with his picture - said "What Would Joe Do". LOL!

[Outlawman13]

Lol love that picture Austin!!! What Would Joe Do? LOl. So glad that you represented the Eagles.

Cathy, beautiful car. Love that shade of red.

[Glennsallnighter]

Love the pic Austin! Cool that you have a Joe t-shirt on too!m

What WOULD Joe do.........?

[Brooke]

Very cool WF! :lol:

[TimothyBFan]

Love the color, PM!!!

Austin, loving the shirt AND the haircut. Shorter than usual, isn't it?

Just had to share what I received in the mail a bit ago from a friend of mine who makes beautiful jewelry. She made me a Benjamin Orr memorial bracelet. She had sent me a beautiful Benjamin necklace several months ago but this has all my favorite pictures of Benjamin (6 of them), a Cars emblem and his name and years of birth and death. Very special to me.

[WalshFan88]

TBF - Yeah it's a much shorter haircut. Cooler for the summer - don't need all of that extra hair. :D

Nice bracelet!

[Outlawman13]

Your friend does excellent work making bracelets Willie!!!! Of course I adore Ben Orr and those pictures on there are making me really hot right now. LOL. Hey can your friend make me one too? With Ben Orr pictures? God do I love that man!!!

[Prettymaid]

That is a neat idea, with the bracelet! A perfect piece for you!

[TimothyBFan]

Your friend does excellent work making bracelets Willie!!!! Of course I adore Ben Orr and those pictures on there are making me really hot right now. LOL. Hey can your friend make me one too? With Ben Orr pictures? God do I love that man!!!

Actually, I'm surprised you haven't seen her Benjamin bracelets & necklaces she's made & sells. She always post them on our Benjamin FB pages that I'd think you'd be a member of. There are several on FB that are very active with several of us members that have been members of The Legacy & Frozen Fire for years.

[Outlawman13]

LOL I've been trying to find it!!! WHERE IS IT?!!!

[SteveJoburg]

Well, I finally got my South Africa photos up!

http://s6.photobucket.com/user/sodascouts/library/SouthAfrica2013

Great pictures Soda... Glad you had a good trip. :)

We got back yesterday from a whirlwind extended weekend in the Eastern Cape, including a night at a 5 star luxury game lodge which was an amazing experience. It was Kirsty's birthday on Sunday and in the morning we went for an early morning game drive and among the amazing things we saw were two young lionesses playing and a male cheetah, lazing under the trees from just a few paces away... Seen them in zoos many times but this was pretty amazing!

With all it's faults this is my homeland and I love it dearly.

[Prettymaid]

That is so cool, Steve! But you ruined the picture in my mind of lions walking around in your back yard! :lol:

[Glennsallnighter]

We've been having some lovely sunsets the last while because the weather has been so good. Here's one I had a camera for. Last Friday night

More to follow! We are making it bigger and hopefully, better!

[Outlawman13]

Wow that is a lot of work for sure, but sure looking good. Man those are huge fish!!! Nice pond by the way.

[Houston Baby]

Very interesting Brooke! I bet watching that was quite entertaining!
BTW - What kind of fish was that? It does look huge!

[Houston Baby]

GA - That is a stunning photo!

[Brooke]

Very interesting Brooke! I bet watching that was quite entertaining!
BTW - What kind of fish was that? It does look huge!

It's a grass carp and they get very large. They help keep the grass out of the water.

[Troubadour]

Good luck with all of that work, Brooke! Love the pics. How cool to have your own pond.

[Prettymaid]

Interesting, Brooke. You've posted other pictures here of your home and property and it looks so pretty. Good luck with the rest of the project.

[TimothyBFan]

Brooke, if you don't mind me asking, how many acres do you have? It just looks awesome!! Do you fish out of your pond? I can't imagine being able to sit out there on the bank for an afternoon to catch the evening's meal. :razz:

[Brooke]

TBF, not at all! We only have 10 acres total. The pond is on a 6 acre tract. Yes it had lots of fish and we have done just that! The pond was too small for the fish it had in it and they didn't grow very big. We plan on starting over with crappy and bass. Catfish make ponds muddy.

And this is part of the reason I don't get to go to all the concerts I would like! Money spent on bulldozers and backhoes! But we enjoy having the property and fishing and having a small part of paradise. Our kids love it too! Priorities!

[Houston Baby]

Aww Brooke - it does sound like you have your own little piece of paradise. A great place to make lots of wonderful memories. And I love fishing for crappy! If I ever head up your way, I might have to bring my fishing pole!:hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

And, if I remember correctly, Brooke and her hubby built their home! It's beautiful, and probably a picture of it is in this thread!

[SallyGee]

You definitely have your priorities in order Brooke. Your land is beautiful!

[Brooke]

Thanks guys! We do work hard at it, but we enjoy it too!

HB, it will take us a couple years for the crappy to be ready for fishin' but y'all come!

[WalshFan88]

Nice pic Brooke! We love our pond.

[TimothyBFan]

And this is part of the reason I don't get to go to all the concerts I would like! Money spent on bulldozers and backhoes! But we enjoy having the property and fishing and having a small part of paradise. Our kids love it too! Priorities!

That does look like paradise to a townie like myself. Larry and I often think we wish we would have bought out in the country 25 years ago but then I need a loaf of bread and the store is only 3 blocks away. We've done our best to make us our own paradise in our small backyard here in town. Unfortunately, I can't catch dinner there. ;)

And you are right about the concert money and priorities. As I look at my new washer & dryer, the new privacy fence and our 4 rooms that are being painted and remodeled and know that concerts are not in the budget this year----- and you know what? I'm perfectly content with that!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Brooke - Those are great pictures of the pond 'renovation'. It would have been very cool to watch, but your pictures took us through the process step-by-step. I know you will enjoy it! :thumbsup:

[Prettymaid]

The largest pot has my favorite arrangement this year. I love fountain grass. I can't walk by it without running it through my fingers.

[Troubadour]

Beautiful!

[Outlawman13]

Very beautiful!!! I can never resist running my fingers through Fountain Grass either!!! I love those arrangements

[Glennsallnighter]

Brooke! Good luck with the pond. Looks like a big operation.

PM. I love that pot, and also your deck. It's a lovely terrace.

But right now that makes me think of something else I'd love to run my fingers through......... :wink:

Lol, GA, can I venture a guess?

I thought about it after I worded it that way, that it sounded sort of weird, but it's true!

[Outlawman13]

LOL Lisa!!! I would love to run my fingers through that man's fine hair too!!! LOL.

[Glennsallnighter]

Mmmmmmmm just the thought of it :heart:

[Brooke]

Pm, all of the pots look beautiful! And the whole deck! :thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

What a beautiful deck, PM!! Looks like you have a little piece of paradise also.

[Brooke]

Our pond is almost finished! Just a little smoothing out work. I thought I'd get a shot from the bottom! Don't plan on going there when it fills with water! :lol:

Now we just need some rain!

[Prettymaid]

Looks good Brooke. How much bigger will it be?

[Houston Baby]

All I can say Brooke is WOW!!!

[Outlawman13]

Love it Brooke!!!! I can't wait to see it with water!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

Looks like a lake rather than a pond Brooke! Good lunch with it. Very impressive.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

PM - your deck is lovely.

And Brooke, can't wait to see a picture of the pond when it's filled with water. Will y'all stock it with fish?

[MaryCalifornia]

This is the first time I have looked in this thread. I love seeing all of your pics - so cool! I am loving it.

[WalshFan88]

Nice pics everyone!

[Brooke]

Looks good Brooke. How much bigger will it be?

I don't know, but it's a lot bigger than it was before. I had no idea it would be this big! I think the dozer man got a little 'out of control'! :lol:





And Brooke, can't wait to see a picture of the pond when it's filled with water. Will y'all stock it with fish?

Yes, crappy and a few bass. We love to go fishin'!

I'm ready for water and grass too!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yum Brooke - that's some good eatin'! Hope it's ready to go soon.

Today is rehearsal for my gig Saturday night and this is my guitar of choice. I also played another of my guitars, an HSS Strat. Trying to decide which to take. Anyway, this one is my 2012 Les Paul Gibson Custom Shop guitar. Awesome rock n' roll machine. Nothing better in my book for playing raw,nasty,dirty and in your face rib-crunching skull-crushing @ss-kicking rock n' roll! :headbang::guitar: I'm pumped! :D

[Brooke]

I'm having a hard time imagining what you mean, Austin! :razz:

Lovely geetar, btw! And have fun!

[Houston Baby]

[WalshFan88]

Thanks everyone.. Yes I definitely get a bit excited over guitars that's for sure! :D

[Prettymaid]

Nice axe! Now go and play that rock and roll!

[Troubadour]

Love it, Austin!

Beautiful day, beautiful bride!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Very lovely, Brooke!

[Henley Honey]

Gorgeous!

[sodascouts]

She looks like a model!

[Prettymaid]

She's gorgeous, Brooke, and you can't even tell that she's cold!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

oh my she is beautiful and she had a great day .
congratulations

[Houston Baby]

Brooke - what a lovely young couple! Your niece is beautiful and her dress is gorgeous. I also love the bracelet she is wearing. The day may have been cold but it looks like their love is keeping them warm. I wish them many, many years of happiness!

[Outlawman13]

She is very pretty and I love that dress. I wish her (and her husband) many years of happiness!!

[Brooke]

Last zinnias of the season from my garden:

[TimothyBFan]

Brooke--those pictures are gorgeous!! Looks like it was a lovely day also.

Have to admit that the pic of the bouquet made me frown. It's going to be a long, long winter!!! :scowl:

[sodascouts]

ooh, i love the back of the dress too!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, my niece had a little bit of unanticipated excitement while she was at work today. She works in a busy outdoor shopping mall and she said they suddenly noticed a huge number of police cars and motorcycles, and black vehicles overtaking the parking lot. One of her co-workers went out to see what was going on and then she came back in to let everyone know. So they walked across the street for a photo op ...

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b296/kay8342/KristenampBillClinton_zpsedae2062.jpg (http://s21.photobucket.com/user/kay8342/media/KristenampBillClinton_zpsedae2062.jpg.html)

He was in town campaigning for our Democratic gubernatorial candidate and made an unexpected stop at a Steak 'n Shake. She was still pretty giddy when she called to tell me all about it.

[Witchy Woman]

That's awesome, Dreamer !! Bill Clinton is the man !!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Steak and Shake? I guess he'll never change!!!

[TimothyBFan]

How cool is that? I love Bill!! Was lucky enough to see him speak while Hillary was running. Could listen to him talk for hours.

[Prettymaid]

I saw this on FB. Loved all the cute comments!

[Houston Baby]

I LOVE Steak 'n Shake! Good choice!! :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

Cool for your niece Dreamer!

Me-not a fan of BC.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for all of your comments and I agree that when something like this happens it is very cool and should transcend politics. I got really pi$$ed today when I was telling my neighbor about it - she literally smirked, turned up her nose, and walked away. I thought it was very rude behavior for a grown woman, and I felt like flipping her the bird. But, I decided to be the better person and just let her go her merry way.

[Glennsallnighter]

I think it's a lovely pic Dreamer, and if you get an opportunity like that..... Take it!

[Brooke]

This is a video, but I think it will work here.

Julie, is this your home? :lol: Just kidding! I know, it's in Canberra
http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nbc-news/53657907#53657907

I can't even find the house! Wow!

[Freypower]

It's a growing tradition but that is the first time I have seen it taken to that extreme. There are whole suburbs with houses covered in lights, including a suburb called Bonnet Bay not far from us. We drove down there one Christmas to look at it. There are some houses in our street which do this, but we don't. We put lights up inside.

By way of explanation Canberra, although it is the capital city, has a lot of wide open spaces around the houses so it isn't that difficult to use up that much space. The guy must have a high powered job related to politics or in a federal department.

Wow, it's beautiful, Z! Thanks for sharing that!

I love snow as long as I'm inside and warm!

[bluefeather]

Wow, it's beautiful, Z! Thanks for sharing that!


I'll second that! It looks absolutely beautiful and I wish it'd be the same here.:-(

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That is a beautiful picture, Z. Glad you took it so we can enjoy the beauty without having to endure all the crappy stuff! :thumbsup:

[Thunzyag]

OK, Z, I'll quit complaining about the weather here!

My thought exactly :brickwall:

[NYC Fan]

I'll second that! It looks absolutely beautiful and I wish it'd be the same here.:-(

I agree! I love the snow. It makes everything so pretty. Heading to Woodstock, VT for a Christmas celebration this weekend and we're supposed to get snow. I'm really excited, as it makes it that much more festive and New England-y.

Thanks for sharing the picture, Zelda!

[Koala]

Great pic Zelda - it looks about the same here. LOTS of snow.

Impressive collection Austin!

[glenneaglesfan]

Lovely pic of the snow, Zeldabjr.

Dreamer, how exciting for your niece to get that photo with Bill Clinton!

Brooke, that video from Canberra is something else! In our road most people have some lights. Son Mark and I put up ours two days ago and dug up our Christmas tree from the local tree farm.

Just set up a winter village scene and Christmas market done in Lego!

How is your DnL? Is she home from hospital?

[Brooke]

Aawww Ga, thank you! Yes, dnl is doing well as is baby Cutter and Dad too! They all came home last Friday. And yesterday, Cutter was 1 week old! :smile:

[Glennsallnighter]

My turn for the Baby pic. This is me with Thomas, one of my friends twins. He is now 6 months and I was playing with him while Mom fed Daniel his brother.

Thomas loved my Eagles guitar pick (around my neck). I was teaching him to say 'Eagles'. And I played him PEF on my phone. His Mom (Anne Marie) knows my obsession!

CUTE Ga!:)

[sodascouts]

Adorable!

[Brooklyn Roads]

TBF, not at all! We only have 10 acres total. The pond is on a 6 acre tract. Yes it had lots of fish and we have done just that! The pond was too small for the fish it had in it and they didn't grow very big. We plan on starting over with crappy and bass. Catfish make ponds muddy.

And this is part of the reason I don't get to go to all the concerts I would like! Money spent on bulldozers and backhoes! But we enjoy having the property and fishing and having a small part of paradise. Our kids love it too! Priorities!

Neat pictures!! My grandma also sits on 10 acres. It's a lot of upkeep and thankfully my aunt and uncle have really stepped up and have made the ranch look beautiful again! I will share some pics! So neat to see people's places and flowers and just living life :)

Thank you, Bluefeather! It's been in our family for over 100 years. It's a beautiful place and honored to have this land in our family. We actually sold many acres to the park district about 16 years ago, so next door is a regional park for all to enjoy :)

[Brooklyn Roads]

Those are beautiful photos BR. Are you into photography?

I am, Houston Baby! I have been doing it for the last 4 years on a more serious level - (paid jobs, etc) although I prefer to do it more on my own terms, so I no longer do paid jobs. I do free stuff for family and friends. Are you a shutterbug, too ? :)

[Brooke]

I love taking pictures though I don't believe I am as talented as you. Ask any of the ladies here who have been on an Eagles adventure with me, I can snap those photos! :rofl:
You can see some of my EAGLES photos on the Las Vegas 03/23/2013 Eagles Concert Reviews thread starting on page 6. Since I was sitting on the side I actually took over 300 pics during the concert.

My brother is the photographer of the family. He takes absolutely amazing photos but much to the chagrin of his wife they are mainly landscapes and wildlife.

[zeldabjr]

have to say to Brooke...your grandson is gorgeous...keep those pics coming!!

BR...love your pics...where do you live in California?...I love the almond trees...can't say I've ever seen one before...and the peacocks are beautiful!!!

Thank you, Zelda! I live in Northern California, more in the East Bay (East of SF). It's a beautiful place to live! Almond trees remind me a lot of Cherry trees. They are similar. The peacocks are beautiful, but my Grandma gets so mad when they run up to her porch and poop all over it, lol.

Houston Baby, shoot I went to that thread and for some reason cannot locate them :( Were you formally "Henley Baby?" If so, then those are really great photos!! You are really good!! Believe me, I am no Ansel Adams, lol, but I try and practice as much as possible :) It's much harder work when I don't know what I'm doing half the time ;)

Keep up the great picture taking!! :)

[WalshFan88]

Thought I'd post pics of a tour of my guitar room/den/cave/studio/hangout zone since there is another guitarist on the board now. It's a bit messy but it's getting better!

So sorry for the confusion BR. I forgot that I took those photos before I joined here and yes Henley Honey posted the photos that I took. I knew everyone here would appreciate them so I sent them to HH to share. For awhile before I joined I was known as "Nameless in Houston". :lol:

And thank you for the compliment! I try with my photos but alot of times it is a hit or miss!

Thanks!

I'm not sure what Joe's music room looks like but I'm sure it's way cooler than mine. Mine is good for playing vinyl and guitar and relaxing. It's truly a house within a house for me, lol.

doesn't look so messy to me, Austin, just looks fine and cool

Around 30. :)

This is a picture of The Peace Bridge...it connects Buffalo with Canada...goes over the Niagara River which eventually leads to Niagara Falls...on one side of the river you're in the US...go over the bridge and you're in Ontario Canada...the land you see in the distance is Canada!
I think this is a really pretty pic of the bridge...

That is beautiful, Z. Is it always lighted up blue, or was that special?

[Islander canuck]

Wow that's lovely.

Thought I'd post pics of a tour of my guitar room/den/cave/studio/hangout zone since there is another guitarist on the board now. It's a bit messy but it's getting better!

Z, it's something you see all the time and are used to it. That really is a gorgeous pic! A lot of times people aren't too impressed with things they live with. For instance, people travel from all over to see Missouri. I've been there, done that, and it's old to me! :lol:

It is part of the campus of one of the local universities which was a military collage from the '40's until '95.
