OG, someone made another youtube of Devil's Backbone where they are driving up and down the hills and around the curves, so it shows a little more of the elevation.Try this one! Oh, you might want to turn it down a little.

Awesome! The news men yesterday said there was going to be a lunar eclipse, then didn't say exactly when except early morning. It would have been between 4 and 7 am our time here.

Eight photos and a steady hand, Eeyores. I sat on the side of the road with my knees up and tried to use my knees as a tripod to keep the camera in the same place. Snapped a photo of the very far end on the left, and then just kept inching over a few degrees and snapping another.

Once I got them into photoshop, just open a new, blank document (I think I had to go about 20,000px wide to accommodate all the photos). One at a time, add your photos as new layers to your new psd. Some of them take a bit of trial-and-error resizing, a few px at a time, to get the edges to line up as closely as possible.

I go absolutely crazy any time I'm home in the Okanagan, but *sigh*, some of the views from some of my favourite places is like being wrapped in my baby blanket. Something about it is so serene, I love it.

this summer has been so wet and cool my september flowers havent bloomed and the grapes arent getting ripe :-(

Had a visitor in the backyard today though.



She had teats so I think she may have had a baby hiding in the raspberries.

Ah, she could come over to my house to play with my raccoons as I'll never have a deer in my suburban neighborhood.

OG you could.

We saw an entire family while at the lake last weekend, fawn, buck and doe. The buck's horns were very small, so this is probably his first year as a papa. No pic since they were scattered and not out in the open except to cross the road.

My pics from the boat are all tilted!

not appreciating the beauty of it?

I dont think the pic turned out as nice as it was.

each one of those little Colonies were the size of a nickel. Soft and fluffy with a whole myriad of subtle colours on top of deep purple.

Nature is incredible and quite beautiful no matter where it is found.

(yeah, I'm a little nutz )

I love the sunset. Something wonderful to look at for hours, but you can't because it never stays the same. That is, unless you capture it in a nice picture like this one. Thank you for posting all the pretty pictures. Even the mold.

Sun, I did appreciate the beauty of the mold. You should have seen me the other day in my courtyard admiring the gorgeous bright yellow slime mold. I have never seen anything like it before and don't expect to ever see it again. From Googling, I gather what a saw to be rather rare. I feel I was blessed!

Sun, I am enjoying your pics! I am nutz like you, in that, a pic of mold would be intriguing to me as well. Beautiful pics! You've got me wanting to go out there and take some pictures.
