It's that time!
yay! nice shots, amac. gossamer wings and a golden daybreak ...
Arvo...love the deer photo... absolutely golden glory...
As I see Kavika's photo again, a movie line runs through my mind. "I miss my friend." It took me a while to remember which movie that line was from, but then I remembered it was a thought by Morgan Freeman, as "Red" (a fitting name considering Kavika's wife) while sitting in the prison cafeteria listening to stories being told by other prisoners about "Andy" Dufresne, who had escaped years before, - a line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

I'm anxiously waiting for a non-member of this group to flag that as porn ...
Arvo..nah we wouldn't have a problem with it..fit right in here just say shark attack or croc..no one would bat an eye lid..😁
do you suppose there's a place somewhere in italy where all the marble limbs broken off from statues are stored?
Could be..never really thought about that..🤣
In the armory...
... uh, no ...
Aww c'mon. For sure.
Yeah, sure. Right next to the ammo....
You know, the rimshot
weak upon weak. keep polishing ...
you 2 should consider leaving the bad comedy and poor taste to those of us more experienced ...
That project is in limbo.
et tu amac?
Evening...well they look pretty hARMless to me..😊 and they can stand on their own two feet...
they look like oz raft riders that couldn't paddle fast enough in the surf ...
We can see you have a deep appreciation for art and art history.
I almost swept all of boulder county's top awards in my category back in 1970. without my knowledge, my art teacher entered all my drawings that I had spent less than 5 minutes each in creating. she had a policy that once an in-class art assignment was completed, she gave out a hall pass, and her class was my last one of the day so I would disappear. my mom actually saved all that stuff and gave it to me about 10 years ago, ribbons still attached. to me they still look like 60 second drawings by a disinterested teenager in a hurry to be somewhere else ...
Morning...yawn ..Hall pass??
Nahhhh.....they will be tasty tourists who are to slow...
a permission slip to be outside the classroom during class hours. usually to the library, unless nobody is watching, and then ... >poof<
... so, they're marble renditions of oz parents that tried to save their little shark biscuits down at the seashore?
Hmm...have a feeling you went "poof" quite often...🤣
some teachers were very careless about completing their passes and the school security protocol was flawed ...
Security protocols????
In the 70's in my town, you could walk in holding a rifle and they would ask, "Who are you looking for?"
In the DIGITAL era?
in my 70's town, we had rifle racks in our trucks to intimidate the east coast cops that had to relocate to our town.
... ugh.
Must not be feeling that punny today...
Arvo...well the day has dawned and I have hit 65..
Didn't know if I would reach it or not, but as they say I am still standing...and still walking above ground...
My SIL made my favourite dessert... Pavlova...just perfect..
what, no vegemite or whipped cream on that? happy birthday, youngster. I sideswiped 70 a few weeks ago ...
Ahh yep whipped cream under the fruit..the bottom layer is meringue...
Hmm wonder if we could develop a Vegemite pav..could be a world first...
Thanks for the wishes and happy birthday to you for the other week..was going to say Winter babies but you are Summer...
Best wishes, good health, long life! Happy Birthday.
I would've suggested a vegemite popsicles, but the optics might be confusing to the casual observer ...
Morning Mac....thank you I had a great day... wasn't sure if I would be here for it, but i am still gracing everyone with my presence...🤣
Hope Mrs Mac is going well..🌼
Happy Birthday. I wish you health and happiness and many more.
Evening Buzz...thank you I have had a lovely day..🐨
Happy birthday, shona!
Thank you G..had a great day..🐨
Wonderful.
Hope you had a good one
Morning..thank you...had a lovely day and enjoyed myself...
Congratulations!
Thank you Thomas...I had a great day..🦘
Happy birthday, shona, and I hope you have many more to come.
That pavlova is almost too pretty to eat.
Arvo..yes my SIL is a fantastic cook..her family use to cater for weddings in the Ukraine and she is very talented...
She also makes a Pavlova roll with cream and strawberries..
Thank you for your good wishes..🐨
Same day, different shot, same location.

nice
Thanks
LOL, I just discovered the street lights ... ... 6 hours later ...
Mhmm... I should have done a better job of deleting them. If I remember correctly, I did remove another one from the picture. I did this one in the spring.
I like that piece better with them. if the removed street light was prominent, maybe put it back in ...
now you know how I roll with my concept of art. top of the cul-de-sac would be a great title, ha ha ha
Oh yeah...I didn't even notice them..
Nah. It's much better without.
The photo was taken mid cul-de-sac.
See Comment 2.1.13.
Kind of mysterious - is that a powerline tower in the distance?
There is no powerline tower in the distance in that photo.
deja vu ...
My vision is waning, and I need new stronger glasses. This time I looked at it with a magnifying glass and saw that it was parallel vertical lines of Chinese script.
Today I went to the Antique Steam and Tractors Show. There were hundreds of antique tractors, engines and machines running and on display. There were 30 or more old steam tractors. Had a good time and toured the show riding a friend's antique riding tractor, which helped in the 95 degree heat.
This steam tractor and the little dozer type were powering a sawmill. Lots of interesting
old machines on display
That must have been a fascinating day at a virtual museum of American farm history.
Both are interesting pictures.
can't quite tell, but that looks like one that my father in law had that he called "Johnny Popper" because it was powered by a one-cylinder four stroke with quite a large inertial flywheel, so when it ran it went Bang-pop-pop-pop....
There were lots of hit and miss engines there and they make that sound, but the little dozer had a steady exhaust sound. It was roped off because of the sawmill, but another one like it was driving around and had a large motor but I did not get to look closely at it
Hit and miss engines have a governor that fires when it drops below the setting and otherwise turns on energy stored in the large flywheel.
Thank you and good night!
