I just wanted to share this picture with you all. This is in front of my house in South Florida
If you stare at it for 20 seconds then close your eyes you can picture the red X on Ahmadinejad’s forehead between his eyes.
P.S. I had to take a peek because you got more replies than the Ellen Degeneres dog story. That is not meant to be derogatory in any way.
Well, thanks for sharing anyway. Where I live, we get this gawd-awful haze in summer. Now it’s gone, and we have some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, not to mention clear starlit skies and huge moons that you feel like you can almost touch.
Ah....who said there ain’t a God?
When requesting an image (or when following a link), a browser normally includes a Referer header as part of the request. It tells the site where the request is coming from. E.g., here's my browser's interaction trying to fetch the picture in question:

The request is in black, and the snarky response is in red. The Referer header is bolded.
If I configure my browser to stifle the Referer, the request works. IOW, webshots.com doesn't want people looking at their pictures unless they're actually on the site. They enforce it by checking the Referer.
That's why I figured your browser must have the header disabled. You may also have installed some privacy or security software that configured your browser automatically.
Referer header info lets site owners see how viewers are reaching their site. E.g., if a user landed on a site via a search engine, the Referer text will let the site owner see the search engine query.
Here's the view from my backyard of the Rogue River in Southern Oregon...the salmon are jumping in the rapids below my lawn.
make it bigger
Can I take a tour?

Where’s the beach?????
OOps I thought this was a Hillary thread...

Sunset over the Texas Motor Speedway, site of last weekend's Big State Music Festival. I took this while waiting for Willie to come on; Skynard and Lyle Lovett performed the night before. Lots of hot chicks clad scantily, I was on my best behavior while in my fiance's presence.
I'm glad that isn't a view from my porch. However, my neighbor's house has had a tendency to catch on fire lately (twice in the last 5 months).
Stay safe!
men always say that, don’t they?
it has that cozy, “lived in” look abaht it...
Nice. Those are some huge deer!
