Wow, I just checked the temp and it’s 39°!!! I’m finally out of the freeze!
I have a dragon statue in the front yard a little over 2’ tall. He was buried up to his eyeballs Sunday, now only to the shoulders. Snow is melting fast.

65 and sun here today
Expected to break 70 tomorrow

Then start raining again

Ty . Actually found some on Amazon, but judging by the price, they’re made of plutonium or something

Ridiculous price on Amazon for them!

supposed to get up in the low 40s and rain here later this week. But you don’t have to shovel rain, so it’s all good.

For the past week since I got my new pre-loved Canon sx40 hs, I've been waiting for a sunrise to photograph. This morning I got my chance:

This is the view from deck looking east

and looking straight out

Taking hand held photos in low light was the big test. Especially after 2 extremely strong double shot flat whites

The camera passed with absolute flying colours

WOW. Just wow. Almost as good as being there in person

 

[chanelvaps]

Ah, bon jour, Charlie, ça va?

Have we heard from Eskie? Nope?

Sadly no. we try to keep his name alive in the thread and hope one day he will saunter in the door of the shiny thread again. Eskie we miss you

Have a great day/night/evening

beautiful Charlie. Is this near you?

I am now acting like my Grandpa used to, swearing that everyone was making the fonts smaller just so I could not read them

Your Grandpa was right. As I'm getting older I notice the very same thing, fonts are way smaller, especially on billboards.

We wouldn't do that to you

.
oh yes we would

@chanelvaps just needs a better magnifying glass like some of us already have

or better reading specs, again, like some of us already have

Just teasin' ya Sue!!!

Hmmm... Did ya know...

Plutonium emits alpha particles?
...........................helium nucleus

I will pass on plutonium whatevers from the Amazon. Wait a second, if they grow on citrus trees then I want many.

I thought you'd succombed to Covid......I started to think about Eskie!!

Keep your inner kid and spirits up

Covid can go itself in every way imaginable (XXX rated). Stupid virus.

That inner Kid in me will never go without a Major fekking fight!!!

I miss Eskie. In my mind I have an image of him doing fantastically well and of Life being very Kind to him. He's somewhere, I know it.

Also Jandrew (think I may have the spelling wrong) and his cool pipes and LiPo battery test results thread. I would have never known we can use LiPo batteries in our mods otherwise. Smart chap!

And of course our Bright and Sunny @Opinionated - Boots - Op - up on her Mountain. Hope she is doing better than ever from her last surgery.

There are Others and they are missed as well.

I wish @Fredman1 would pop in once in a while, just to say Hi. We miss you Mate. He still posts, saw one of them the other day in some thread. I think we all want to know how his e-bike travels are going.

I hope your hospital day cruises right on by for you!!!

That is an awesome photo. Where is it from?

Photo's like yours and Ange's take me places in my Huge imagination.
<<<keep them coming you Two, please>>>

You and Ange could start your own NatGeo like magazine, hmmm I mean nature website (guessing people don't buy many magazines anymore). I would be your 1st subscriber / here is my first contribution to getting it all going !!!

Col is doing well & still working from home. Been keeping himself busy brewing lagers & wine.

I hear from him once in a blue moon, thankfully. Some people I just get especially attached to. I may just send him a surprise one of these days.

You've got no idea.....

Only because it runs off and it's really annoying

I know...it's like no closure. Not a day goes by I don't think of him

 

[charlie1465]

beautiful Charlie. Is this near you?

Yes, it's a place called Sillans Les Cascades and two waterfalls drop from a cliff into limestone pools which give the water it's turquoise colour...
