   Green-puce?-white, poisonous and probably caustic /=/exchange glances; slimy suit says "acid for blood..." ..radio chatter, cut in bonehead butterbar../=/ but the overall effect is very like I recall as a child growing through one concrete-lattice carport wall, so yes.

   Other plants resonate as well.
   -edit-

   sweet memories of honeysuckle.

   but this one-

   the details are really cool.

   make sure and save and zoom in, it's worth it.

    goody, thought you were being tricky by turning the pic sideways? You had me fooled for a little while. Tell Carter, Hi and thanks!

    really it was the other way around- I took it sideways to get focus and forgot to rotate the sample. or rotated wrong, anyway. OOps, and boy that was a bear to take, gusty.

    carter is ready any time for worship and attention.

    ok. it's a steam locomotive. but is it wood, coal, or oil fired?

    win-win. I get interest innit or (actually and- I paid up) you get a new wallpaper. or more. I took many more.

    ha, here's another that won't give a clue- aside for there still being a dedicated fuel car as part and parcel. they even have a caboose.

    loco#100 - Since BK guessed wood, my guess is oil!

    Praying mantis eggs? Looks like spittle bug spit to me.

    maizeydaze... YOU GOT IT! kinda silly with but 3 choices...

    It's an oil fired 2-6-2 built in 1921. it now resides in a park in Sutherlin, Oregon.

    here's the slideshow- if you want higher res ask, and here's a random pic for those not into heavy metal:

    That old train's pretty neat. Like to have that setting in the back yard. It would make a great storage shed. My azaleas are only getting buds now. Nice shot!

    Been messing around with my teensy $69 camera I got as a lark.. surprisingly good even if the batteries don't last very long!

    copmom..........so you finally started shooting! looks like something that just recently went through a metamorphosis? and this is almost the end product?..........thinking........thinking! will get back!

    Nope, not going through metamorphosis. One hint is it's flora!

    Yep, I've been shooting! Got some more too. What I like about the little cheapy camera is it has 2 buttons, one for macro and other for zoom. My good camera does all that too, but is a tad more complicated to set it up.. more bells and whistles. I like to keep things simple! What's funny is hubby called me to come look at something yesterday, went to the door, said gotta get my camera, ran down the hall for it, and then oops.. it had been in my pocket all along! It is really small! But has a 1GB SD card. Wish there were longer lasting batteries.. just put these in yesterday, hardly used it and it shows 1/2 gone. Mainly because you view through the LCD screen instead of a viewfinder I guess. I've learned that the rechargeable ones don't last as long as plain batteries. I discovered yesterday that my card reader takes the SD card as well as the SM card, so that makes it easy to upload. Thought I would have to use my new printer to get things off the SD card.

    copmom........my last post was over two hours ago! thats when i had a power failure, i presumed it was the grid, then after an hour made tea on my Mc Iver portable camp stove, then another hour went bye, i met my elderly neighbour, she is 98, check your fuse box she said, yep my fuse box tripped.....duhh, now about your last post, "now i hope this works" did you paste that link then delete it from your post after you found it did not work, if so how? as when i make an error and post only to find it does not work, i am stuck with the error posted? i made a blunder last night with a post, checked today and the post was there,"of course" but the wrong link was deleted? i thanked BuBBy, as i always feel he is looking over my shoulder like a good guardian angel?
    thats a handy wee camera, despite the batteries, oh my guess to your picture! Nasturtium?

    Paulga, I found out that if you post something, on the bottom of it says 'edit', for an hour, so you can correct/edit anything within that hour of posting it.

    Oh, nope, not nasturtium!

    I saw that one peeping through a fence. Could it just be that we all have some very common kitty kats?? Haven't gotten a picture of the others here yet, they run from me, but one's solid black,one's a silver gray, and ones black with white face and feet. We've been feeding 4 of them, but Mr. Meow is the only one that was brave enough to first let me pet him, and then pick him up, and now he spends a few hours in the afternoons sleeping in our bed! Then we have to put him out back so the 2 dogs can come in from the front. We're playing musical cats & dogs.

    Oh, here's the silver gray one taken through the glass door: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/copmom_photo/Smallcamera5-2008034.jpg

    and here she is eating peanut butter off of our bird feeder!
