This was a friendly Burro at "The Cactus House". It is a little piece of Santa Fe here in Northern Richmond.
Nice ones Cindy!
Steve, this is a "stupid" PC question, but need to know "how to" post a picture? step by step...

Of course, you reply to the thread. Then at the bottom (in the reply window) you will see "attach file" there is a button that says "Browse". Click on that button and find the picture on your pc. Then click on that file to add it. It must be less than 110,000 bites. Right click on the picture file, then properties and it should tell you the size there.
Hope that helps!
This picture was taken on a trip to Strausburg, Pennsylvania (at trip taken with Night Train and his sons, coincidentally). It is particularly meaningful for me because I have a picture of myself about his age at the museum that was snapped by my Uncle years ago...
Also, the engine in the background is the last type my grandfather engineered before retiring from the PRR...
This is my daughter Sara in the '65 Mustang we had at the time...
This is a shot of St. Petersburg taken from Honeymoon Island State Park (about 20 miles from our home) on Memorial Day... I use a larger version of this photo for my Windows wallpaper.
Taken in Myrtle Beach a few weeks ago...
My favorite vacation shot- taken while diving off the coast!
Okay, actually it was taken from inside the walk-through aquarium at Ripley's in Myrtle Beach- but I think its a cool shot!
Took these a couple of weeks back.

Try to imagine how much time it took to erode the hole in the middle the cliff.There is a trail along the top of the cliffs which runs for miles. If you look to the skyline above the cliffs, you will notice a couple of hikers.
Cliffs facing north. You will notice the restored castle of one of the "Fighting O'Briens" who ruled that part of the coast 800 years or so ago. You can walk up to the top and get a breathtaking view of not only the cliffs but the sea toward the next piece of solid land (New Brunswick, Canada)
Harry and Pete,
Love the pics. They are both awesome. Pete, that is your son in front of the train? And, Pete, LOVED the rainbow picture at Myrtle Beach!
Harry, the pics of the cliffs are awesome! Wonder if we have anything similar in the US?
I guess it is good to revive this thread every now and then.
Walter Raymond Hanlin III (Pierce)... he turns nine on 4 September.
Here is one of our own- "karen." She's on the right- the one who looks like Jamie Lee Curtis?
Sunrise in Nags Head, NC. I got soooo lucky with the postion of the bird. :D
Keith,
That is the best picture! I love sunrise at the ocean! And that bird, man oh man, oh man! I think yours is my fave so far!
Thanks Cindy. That's one of my favorites too.
Keith
Excellent shot Keith!
A duck family swimming by. (Note - I am obviously not the most adept at photograpy or photo editing but I thought you would like to see what the CT coastline looks like.)

Shot from a cliff overlooking the beach. The Millstone III nuclear power plant is just out of view to the left. Gotta love the warning signs all over the place telling you what to do if there is a meltdown.
A little drive inland.
The hills surrounding Devil's Hopyard. (Note - the overlook this was taken from is not a fun hike if it is over 90 degrees out.)
This concludes the coastal tour of Connecticut for the time being.
Gothic church poised on the cliffs of Barbados w/tombstones dating back to the 1600s.
Keith,
Another good shot! You have a way with setting up a nice scene.
Thanks Joann and Steve. You guys have some very nice photos as well. Here's another interesting shot from St. John's Parish...
Jo,
I loved the waterfall picture.
Keith,
I loved the church picture, too. Do you take pics for fun or are you serious about it? I ask because I am trying to get better and have a friend that is a great photographer helping me. One thing she taught me recently is to take a pic of a building from the corner (of course out from it) as it gives a much more appealing angle. She is so right!
Thanks Cindy for the complement, but I'm just a rank amateur.
Angles and perspective can make a big difference. I always try to look for different angles. Sometime getting higher or lower will make a shot more interesting or more dramatic, too. I also try to look for interesting ways to frame a subject. You did a nice job with you're pelican shot.
Adjusting depth of field is another great trick, making the subject in focus and the background out of focus. You can see this a little in Steve's first post (my favorite, btw).
It doesn't take much talent to get a great shot when given a subject like my Nags Head sunrise (maybe a little luck ;), but that first shot of Steve's... very nice.
Keith
Here is one waterfall at Lewis Ginter.
I love to take pictures of empty benches. It's a quirk of mine. I loved this one almost being consumed by the hydrangeas.
Keith,
Wow, beautiful shots...
Cindy,
Empty benches- what a cool concept. Looks great!
I'm here in San Fransisco- and of course I just HAD to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Like San Diego, Northern California is simply awesome. It can be 70 degrees near the bay and 25 degrees HOTTER in the valley- just a few miles away.
This is right near the bridge, looking out over the bay... I love sailboats!
The thing I love about my digital camera is the ability to edit my photos with Corel PhotoPaint. This "old" photo was taken about three hours ago.
This was a great idea for a thread... I'm enjoying everyone's photos!
Pete,
Of all the photos I like the sunset (or sunrise) the best! Awesome. I just love pics taken at sunrise or sunset!
The bridge pic is awesome, too!:D
I love the photo's this is from Fenwick Island, Delaware.
Great pic, Bev. How could a pic of blue sky and the ocean not be lovely! When I was younger I used to hang out at Rohoboth (sp?) is it still popular?
Hi Cindy,
Rehoboth is almost an hour north. Fenwick is right along side of Ocean City MD. Heading there in a few weeks. Can't wait.
Pete,
Of all the photos I like the sunset (or sunrise) the best! Awesome. I just love pics taken at sunrise or sunset!
I sincerely doubt you'll EVER see a picture of mine that was taken at sunrise! I've seen a few sunrises in my life, but I have to admit to being "tuned" towards sunsets (i.e., I'm a NIGHT OWL!).
;)
We used to spend days at the beach in Rahobeth Beach (sp?). We also went to Lewe's Beach a few times and a place called Harvey Cedars...
Maybe someone could share how to post pictures :D

No offense intended here to anyone, but I have a cousin who recently moved to Rehoboth to be around more folks with the same beliefs as herself. Has it not become kinda like the San Francisco of the east coast? This is what I was lead to believe.Quote:

There are whole string of beaches in the Rehoboth, Delaware area. It starts with Lewes, Rehoboth, Dewey, Bethany, Fenwick and then Ocean City, MD.
The area you may be talking about being like San Francisco is Dewey.
:bbg: picture of the local driving range:rolleyes: think you could hit one of these with a 5 iron Harry:bbg: :bbg:
My Grandfather came over from Italy on a boat and this picture has become very sentimental to me.
Just proof that Italians know their stuff about food, don't go anywhere without the kitchen table.:)
I love that! Who would have thought that a table would float?!?!?!
There are now thoughts bouncing around my brain - this is the reason for those "do not try this at home" warnings.
I'll throw in one of my more recent sunset pics.
Just one of the many i took at Disney last december..............:D
Subject says it all!
