Post your pics here, if you want. It's sort of my new hobby and perhaps someone else shares it. So, here it is.

From landscapes to animals. I'll start.

I've got a bigger version of the first one, with better detail so if anyone asks I'll post.

I've got more of the frog and other beasties, but what do you think of these?

Fizzle · 14-Jan-2009, 02:19 AM (02:19)

Quite an impressive bird, is it not?

Gurdur · 14-Jan-2009, 02:36 AM (02:36)

Oooooo! This is great. Good pix, Fizzle! I can only put in old pix of mine, since it's winter, frozen and bloody cold here at the moment, but will put in some soon.

A fungus called Coriolus Versicolor or Trametes versicolor popularly known as 'Turkey Tail' photographed on Whinny Hill near Loch Lomond in March last year.

Cool thread Fizzle

My sheep. Yes, I have a pet sheep in a Caribbean island.

I don't have any pics of creatures, but here's a nice shot from a trip I took to New Mexico recently

Fizzle · 15-Jan-2009, 12:57 AM (00:57)

Road trip? How I envy you!

Wow. Where were they taken?

LastChance_000 · 15-Jan-2009, 01:42 AM (01:42)

Pescadero Beach State Park - It's about halfway between San Francisco and Santa Cruz.

Oh, and be careful with the photography hobby. It has a way of emptying your bank account.

The Fireswamp:

A mushroom with gills on its top:

I have no idea what this is, but for some reason I was affraid it would bite me if I got too close.

I can't remember the name of this volcano, but we sat out on the front porch all night getting lit watching it spew lava into the air.

Thank heavens for digital photography; the savings are huge.

Lenses still cost much the same, i.e. lots and lots and lots; but with no costs for developing, no need to digitilise slides and negs for storage / archiving / web, and with printing-on-demand easily available over the net, the savings are tremendous.

Fizzle · 16-Jan-2009, 02:16 AM (02:16)

Stop! Turtletime! (awful, I know)

Anyway....

These were taken in a restaurant me and my family went to for Three King's Day. Cuban.

I ate mofongo...with snapper.

Some pictures from my winter garden:
Pansies, living harmoniously with turnips. (Fullsize)

Pansies, turnips and rosemary. (Fullsize)

Parsley is fresh green and thriving even when the temperatures frequently drop below freezing. (Fullsize)

Our neighbourhood cat

I fed her some warm milk right after I finished taking there shots. (Fullsize)

Josie · 17-Jan-2009, 04:45 PM (16:45)

Love the cat, she looks just like mine, once you add another 5#.

I'm going to have to spend a lot of time playing with my camera next summer, none of my pics ever turn out as well as the one in this thread have.

retrow · 17-Jan-2009, 09:23 PM (21:23)

Kewl Josie

This cat doesn't have a collar around its neck. Its a stray cat. Actually we have several strays. Most people in my neighbourhood are cat-friendly. We pamper any cat that moves here.

Ah the joys of having a friend who loves to fly.

Terrific pictures BTW.

Josie · 18-Jan-2009, 03:32 PM (15:32)

This is a pic I took of her a couple of weeks ago, I can't get her to get up and play right now, she has gotten very lazy lately. She even has that little puff of white, at the tip of the tail. And no, she isn't just very fluffy, she only has medium length hair, she is just that fat.

Her as an active kitten, the colors and markings are very similar to your stray.
