Yes, it's very pretty. Did you take the picture?

Too early for sneaking?

No. I got that off the web. My photography subjects are flowers and cats. :)

With this group you might as well consider EVERY post as a potential sneak attempt. The conversation that occurs is purely incidental and serves only to camouflage the sneak. ;^)

Dang! Our cover is blown! Was our strategy that transparent?

Photography is a hobby I'd like to take up one day... I like landscape shots best, I just don't find a lot of scenes here in Texas that I want to photograph.

I guess my idea of beautiful landscape was too influenced by where I grew up... I like to see lots of trees and water.

True perhaps... but the key is to make sure it's good camouflage. For style points, if for no other reason... :)

Other than the "You are now leaving Texas and entering Oklahoma" sign?

I've "inherited" an old manual Pentax 35mm and I'm doing well if I can set the apetures right!

Oh, no. Apologies to 2Jedismom, but I found the Oklahoma highway signs to be among the most unfriendly I'd ever seen... silhouettes of a plane and police car with the legend "Watch your speed... WE ARE!"

I was glad to get to the other side of Oklahoma.

All that apeture and f-stop stuff intimidates me. I'd just like to get a nice simple digital camera and see what scenes I could capture. Nothing museum worthy I'm sure, but maybe web-worthy? :)

Good morning! Would you like to join us in some sneaking idle chit-chat?

I shot those pics on my profile page. No flowers there but I did get a shot of some thieving squirrel ripping off my hummingbird feeder.

I mean, can I, as a 19 year old undergrad with no assets, get $14,000 worth of loans? Some of you have been through this sort of thing, yes?

I don't know what all you've looked at so far Jen, but back in the (gulp) 70s, I got about $9,500 in student loans.

FWIW, in hindsight (and in my case) I wish I'd taken longer to finish and worked more to pay for school along the way rather than borrowing so I could finish in four years. But that's just me, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...If you're clear (and I would assume you are) I'd say go for it.

I have some fall foliage and winter snow scenes from vacations to Upper Michigan that I need to get scanned and put up on the web.

At least if I take my own pics, I won't have to keep searching the web and linking to other people's sites...

Can anyone explain to me what happened to this thread starting around post 134?

Ain't that the truth! The weather weenies are saying that April's rainfall was 40% less than normal, May's 30% less, June's 80% less than normal.

Are we there yet?

Oh, we have plenty left over... expecting more rain here today, in fact.

I'm not tired of the rain... but I'm getting tired of hearing about rescues of stupid people who drove around road barriers and got washed away.
