Beautiful house. Wish it was mine.

[Klown]

Monnie,
DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK THE "C" WORD! LOL!
Crazy to think how fast we are moving!

[willard3]

This is an old farmhouse on my way to the country. I have many frames of it from the other side because it is my usual route.

The owner has been renovating it for the last 5 years and is doing a nice job. Nice hard maples in the front, too, the sure sign of a farmhouse around here.

[wtlwdwgn]

Yep, it's springtime in Montana again. After last Sundays nice weather when I captured an eagle for week 9, today it's a little snowy. Oh well, it's supposed to be in the mid 60° range this weekend. Pentax K20D, DA* 16-50 f/2.8, 16mm, 1/1600 @ f/9, ISO 1600 (:rolleyes:).

Willard, that house is wonderful. Very nice image.
Steve, it looks cold and shivery there. Very stark image.
Mark, nice light on the tree. ~~Peg

[Sage]

An outbuilding from the 1930's or so. Love the tree growing inside and out through the window. ~~Peg

willard....very nice shot of a beautiful home.
Steve....Looks all to familiar.
Peg...Really neat shot! I guess we know which way the sun is.

[yellalablady]

Steve, love the snow. We've had very little winter in SC.
Mark, almost looks like bone.
Peg, great place. I love exploring places like that.

[Klown]

WoW! Week 10 already.. Really hard to believe! This week I wanted to concentrate on obtaining texture and a physical feeling in my image. I felt this image of a bolt on the groin at Hunting Island State Park worked perfectly.

Willard, that is some nice house!
Steve, I like the horizon line, the houses look like mountains in the mist.
Mark, that has the form of a ballet dancer or ice skater (male :) )
Peg, Really like the subtle (HDR?) process, the light and textures are just right.
Corey, that bolt must be ancient!

[NoCard]

Tonight, I had a play with my new "toy" :D

[mcatald]

Cool effect on a very good image Rob. Bicycle wheel....hmmm very interesting.

Well I'm glad someone else saw what I did when I took that shot.:)

[NoCard]

Here's how to use the bike wheel...

This is the obsevation tower of the Penobscot Narrows bridge in Bucksport Maine. At 420 feet, it's the tallest public obsevatory in the world.

Have a lot to catch up on.

Willard nice old house. To bad they didn't tap the trees.

Steve it might be snowing but doesn't look like you had much all winter. :-)

Mark interesting piece of wood. Peg has a vivid imagination. *from another thread)

Pet watch out for snakes in there. Isn't it amazing the way nature seem to take over when left alone.

Corey cool colors in the old bolt

Rob pretty cool shot. Have no idea how it relates to any bicycle wheel that I know of. lol Thanks for the explanation. Love that moon.

Linda aw you have flowers already. We had snow today. :) Lovely colors.

Jim lovely blue snow. Is that refection from a blue moon.:)

Been a little hectic this week. Tues as I was walking round to keep boredom at bay I found this bush with some branches over hanging a gray landscape rock.

Paul:

I love cable-stayed bridges, they are beautiful structures.

[Skippy]

Paul love lines that shot. Can the public go up there? The view must be awesome.

[Ima Hack]

Paul love lines that shot. Can the public go up there? The view must be awesome.

Yes, it's open in the summer to the public. I need to photograph it at night when it's all lit up;I here it's quite a sight.

Awesome contrast in that shot Skippy.

[Skippy]

Yes I bet it would be quite a sight at night. But pictures from the top would be impressive too.

[mcatald]

Jim...That certainly doesn't look like much fun.
Paul...Love that shot. Excellent POV.
Skippy...Nice shot, I like the use of that rock as a background.

[wtlwdwgn]

Wow, you guys rock with this weeks images. Flowers, bridges, snow, a light show, macros, an old barn, tree branches, and a large home.

The snow here melted the next morning and the temp has been rising ever since. Looking for 70°/21° today!

[schteve]

I knew i was making a trip this weekend so I was holding off on the picture this week.

IMO definitely worth the wait....

Skippy

Could be. This was a night shot...:-)

[Skippy]

Steve that was worth waiting for. I sometimes wait for the weekend too. Then the weather does something funky. lol Glad you had a good day, ours was sunny but cold. The warm air get here on Sun.

[yellalablady]

Great find.

[Sage]

Good grief, I turn my back for a few minutes to watch basketball and everybody posts some great shots. Well done everyone. I'm loving the variety of images we're seeing this time around. Keep it up. Michael, you took a wildlife photo :eek: Are you okay? ~~Peg

[yellalablady]

This is a great shot, alien Michael. Well captured.

[JimL]

Michael

Very very sharp. Was glue involved getting the pose ? :-)

[mishlove]

Now now boys and girls, settled down......lol, I was in at work on Sunday morning, and a few of these bird were having fun hoping and bopping all over the hedge outside....so a shot a few shots through the window.......:bounce:

[Skippy]

Phil very interesting. Was this written to remember a certain event or pirates in general.

Michael nicely done. I could never get that close even with the 300.

Come on Peg..........Michael takes pictures of wildlife all the time. Some of those people he captures are pretty wild looking. lol

[Skippy]

..so a shot a few shots through the window.......

Wow what clean windows you have. lol

[mishlove]

Wow what clean windows you have. lol

lol...we have a lady comes in twice a week........not.

Hi Skippy....in answer to your question here's what I have found out...C W Berry was a Kirkcaldy poet. The tribute is located in Ravenscraig Park, Kirkcaldy over looking the sea.. sculptor Kenny Munro produced it in a piece of "Argyle Slate" not granite as I had said.
You can read about it on google.....Phil
