Very nice!!
Damn, wish I had a camera. Lots of spring wild flowers around my area.......and the roses are starting to form their flowers.
Guess I'll just have to sit back & enjoy other folks pics.
Bong, is that a woodpecker in your last frame?
Nice shots.

Is there something that you have to turn on to post pics?

JJ, just scroll down the user menu to see "upload pictures", bit complicated further on at the first time, different to OG but you'll figure.

BTW: hilarious avy

Hey bongosaurus! nice of you to revive NLT, NKOTS tried some time earlier, but I guess it wasn't a good time yet.

rgds, kov

"Go advanced" instead of "post quick reply", and just click on the one you want to attach.

hope it helps!

i do believe that is a cedar waxwing in the last pic there. not positive though, he flew away fast...

Yo bong, my man........
I dug out my old "Peterson Field Guide to Birds" from my college days.....
your bird friend looks to be a Yellow Shafted Flicker....a species of woodpecker...the red spot on the back of the head gives him away, hehehe.
A similar looking bugger has been roosting on my gutter's down-spout & pecking away on the side of my house at sunrise........right next to my bedroom!! sheeeesh!! Guess my house looks like a tree.....

Anyway, good thread.......hope we get more cool pics.

Good call Biped, and I always enjoyed the photos in the OG thread Bong!

Here's the waxwing for comparison.





enjoy!

nice to be outdoors this time of year.

footy season is beginning......nothing better than running outdoors....bretahing in the fresh air.

mmmmmm

 

[dfa]

this is where i live, ive been gone 2weeks now and i am missin it!

i love snowboarding, its too much fun...

we got so far; 660 inches of snow this winter season, and damn im lovin it

I'm just waiting for the Gulf to warm up a bit more, then I'm hitting the beach! I personally prefer the water temp to be within a degree or 2 of 80*F, not too cool, not too warm, but juuuust right, imo

I just need to invest in a decent snorkel set (time to start browsing the dive shops again) and then me and my waterproof camera'll be snapping shots of the underwater world

Actually, I have to convice my husband to go in the first place, I hate going to the beach alone, and he hates going to the beach period---"It's not the water that I have a problem with. It's that grainy, sticky shit between the parking lot and the water that I hate." Well, tough shit, suck it up and deal. I go to every park, preserve and walk path you want to go to and I never argue. It's time to go somewhere I want to spend the day at, dammit.

But now that I know this thread's been brought back, I'll have some underwater shots within the next month or 2 for ya folks

nice pix guys - sup JJ-

this is kinda like the "scenic pics" thread i started on OG- lets see what i can dig up here-

 

[stoner 13th]

heres some from last summer too, you ttell my dog was a little fatter then ,

 

[Guest]

great pictures, this thread has enspired me to go take some pictures in the nice weather

 

[Suby]

Great an outdoor thread, i'm going hicking soon so i'll pull up a few.
It's nice to see pics of something other than pot.....except maybe pics of pot outdoors.
I see the old crew is on this like a fat kid on pie, JJ, kov, B-rex, Niki, good to see yall hanging in and coming up for light.

Peace

Actually, Bongasaurus, it's just a simple one-time-use underwater camera
Hell of a lot cheaper than shelling out for the real deal, although, I'd love to have one some day if I ever fall into a pile of money somehow.

I get some really excellent pics out of those one-timers, believe it or not. Too bad I never thought to develope the shots and get a picture CD, too. I certainly will next time, however----Especially since it's really difficult to explain the view of the sun from under water, photos tell it best.

 

[Captain Skunk]

Great pics everyone!

Bong a pailfull of those perch would make a very nice spring dinner!

Everything is greening up quickly here!

enjoy!

 

[Guest]

forget about the perch. That mushroom is looking scrum-didely-umptious(had ned flanders in mind lol).

 

[borat]

this is the "easter island tree", very rare, a explorer was able to save the last seeds on the island in the forties or something and donated them to the botanical garden
