Point and shoot - things to photograph

[Mr. Sir]

Excellent camo for our oak tree bark, but he showed up quite well on that white stucco wall.

 

[rumination]

Cool mantis. Those shrooms look like Fly Agaric. Do not eat!

 

[Mr. Sir]

What is it?

I saw this crazy cloud formation early this morning. I thought it might be from a rocket launch at KSC, but I didn't see any news stories about it. Or maybe a drunken skywriter.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Looks pretty much like rocket trail to me.

 

[SkwerI]

Yup, they don't announce every launch. And I can't believe you can see it that clearly even though you're another 100 miles further away than I am. I'm about 40-45 miles away and our views are almost the same.

 

[Mr. Sir]

I did zoom in a bit. Probably another satellite, as if there aren't enough up there already. It's weird how the vapor trail gets all twisted around like that from the different layers of air currents.

 

[Mr. Sir]

It was a rocket launch.

 

[hmm]

GOOD to know my Mom in Sarasota watched something - Now I can share that information

 

[mdvaden]

Waiting for the Amtrak in Los Angeles about 2 years ago.

 

[mdvaden]

Couple of more. Roasting dogs at the Oregon coast camping, and part of an old machine at Camp 18, the logging museum restaurant in Elsie - Oregon coast range.

 

[Fiddler]

around the home place.

 

[hmm]

early morning on lake lanier - teh water was bath water temps - teh air was about 70 the water about 74

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice!!!

 

[Fiddler]

Hart hat? Afraid of falling from the boat?
nice pics.

 

[Old Monkey]

Nice canoe.

 

[SkwerI]

Dave, the bright yellow hard hat was most likely to identify her as an event safety person rather than just somebody in a canoe who happened to paddle into a swimming event.

 

[Fiddler]

just pickin a bit........

 

[CurSedVoyce]

An Ol grader.

 

[hmm]

I LIKE THAT

About the yellow helmet, some events, where I am a saftey boater, require a helmet for insurance reasons. So i always carry it. This was in a lake with no fear of hittimg my head on a rock.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I LIKE THAT

It does have a strange beauty to it. Cool.

 

[Fiddler]

Rip Snorter
Cool old machine.

 

[stehansen]

Those can still be fixed up and used. Kinda cool as a work of art also.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I've been looking for one of those. I'd replace the hand wheels with hydraulic cylinders and tow it with my Kubota.

 

[stehansen]

Most of them were made in the 30's and 40's. Many are still in use where I grew up. They would replace the wheels with something off of a truck and keep rebuilding all of the other stuff. Some would put a couple of rams on but to operate everything hydraulically you would need a lot of valves which most tractors don't have. They have somewhat been replaced by 3pt hook-up blades like so.

Bath water? 74?
