Post a Nature Picture.

[bigwillq]

More specifically, post a picture of an animal or scenery, you captured on camera.


Even if you didn't take it yourself, show me some nature shots!


I want to see some pretty things!

:) :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

1. I didnt take this but if you want an animal you got one

I'd love to have one of these as a pet.

[bigwillq]

2. Cool pic!

Thanks for sharing.

How the hell have you been Kleeb?? How is college life treating you? :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

5. Ive been good

College life could be better because I go to a small ass campus and its impersonal but I've discovered what I want to do as a career and I think labor arbiration is something I can and will suceed at because I feel I can be objective and see things form all sides.

[bigwillq]

8. That's good to hear Kleeb.

Make the best of it. Get involved in as much as you can. It really is the best time of your life. Enjoy it. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

13. I cant wait to transfer

I need a new start, its not that I don't like the people here, its that I need a fresh new start. This summer will probably be one where I visit a lot of places for transfering. I need to get a job too and not just an internship, Ive had two internships and I want to make some money now, and I plan on getting an internship next summer at the NLRB, would consider it this summer but I think i need more experience and time.

[bigwillq]

18. Where do you want to transfer too?

Any ideas yet?

[JohnKleeb]

26. Yeah

Pitt, UNC, UVA, and since I know I won't be able to transfer to an ivy league school Cornell for graduate school since they have a school that an old friend of my grandfather says is perfect if you want to get in labor arbiration. I just wnat a new start honestly and the situation ain't home is the same old crap.

[bigwillq]

29. Well I hope you can transfer

to the school of your choice. It'll really make things so much better. I transferred after my first year and things turned out really well.

[JohnKleeb]

34. Thanks man

I really can't wait because I think finally things will get easier socially, the problem with a commuter community college is that it's not very personal or maybe it is and I am just too shy ot realize it but being at an actual ocllege I think will help.

[bigwillq]

35. An actual college

will be so much better.

Most times at a CC, people just come and go and they don't take the time to really get involved.

[JohnKleeb]

40. Exactly

Ive only stayed after on campus twice in my first two semesters and that was to do my math midterm and to do another math quiz since my stupid computer wont accept the software for this online quiz.

[bigwillq]

41. It will really be nice

once you get to live on campus for a variety of reasons.

[JohnKleeb]

48. Plus with the stuff to do outside of campus

I mean we only have two frigging buildings and there's really not much around campus either, going to Wendy's during lunchtime got old real quickly. I mean if you're in a city like I hope ot be, the city can be like a playground so to speak. I guess thats why I'd prefer a medium-large city/town to go to school in. A lot of people i graduated with went to Va Tech for understandable reasons, they're engineering types but the small town of Blacksburg would bore me to end.

[bigwillq]

50. A medium-sized city

seems like it would be cool for you.

But you really have to research it. There are so many schools that are set in big "college towns" and there's tons of stuff to do there.

I'm sure it would be that way at Pitt, UNC and/or UVA.

[JohnKleeb]

55. It would be yeah

I mean with the exception of UVA and William and Mary, none of the instate schools have any appeal to me.

[yellowdogintexas]

110. SMU has an arbitration program, and we can use more Democrats

down here!

[JohnKleeb]

119. Interesting

What city is SMU in? I'll look at it SMU- Southern Methodist University, correct? I decided arbiration would be best because I ma intrigued by labor history, feel I got the right frame of mind to do it too, I am an unbashed liberal but seeing things form all sides if something I inheirted and intend to use to the advantage of people.

[yellowdogintexas]

136. SMU is in Dallas. I heard an ad this morning for the program

and the arbitration program is a graduate program actually. Dispute resolution is what they call it.

SMU is a good school, and there is a joke amongst some of my college professor friends is that SMU is one of the few colleges where the students are more conservative than the faculty.


But you can google it up and see. I am a Methodist and many of the ministers I know passed through SMU at some point in time. All are unabashed liberals.

3. recent pic from my new town...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Here you go....a recent photo of some dolphin-shaped clouds that I

took out over the Pacific Ocean!

[bigwillq]

9. Hey, that's really cool!

I love playing the cloud game. When the clouds look like images and you and your friends take turns naming off what the clouds look like! It's fun!

Thanks for posting Peggy! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My pleasure, bigwillq!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

105. I almost missed this picture!!!

Stunning, Miss Peggy! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

107. Hey, my dear SeattleGirl!

Well, I'm glad you caught it tonight! It is one of my favorites....

[Flaxbee]

121. Hey California Peggy -- my husband and I added to your photo...

there's a poem and some whale song at this location (along with the photo)... and fyi, "Punta" was the name of the first dolphin my sister cared for when she was starting her study of marine biology:

http://www.novamir.org/punta.html

[CaliforniaPeggy]

126. Wow.......that is a beautiful addition to my photo!

Thank you so much for honoring me in this way!

I love the poem and the whale song too.......

I hardly know how to thank you enough!


:grouphug:

[Flaxbee]

133. it was fun - thought you might get a kick out of it....

hubby's really good with computer graphics, and loves to do creative stuff. Thank you for posting a photo we could play with!

[vademocrat]

7. Here's where I lived15 years ago...

[bigwillq]

10. What a sight!

:hi:

[vademocrat]

20. I'd love to go back someday!

:)

[Dude_CalmDown]

71. Wow - that's beautiful.

I love red rocks. They're just beautiful to me. It kind of looks like Sedona but that's the only place I've ever been to with red rocks so it's not really all that educated of a guess.

[vademocrat]

85. You're absolutely right - it's Sedona!

Even though there are red rocks elsewhere, Sedona still stands out.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Tree Mushrooms in Snow

[bigwillq]

Thanks for posting. :hi:

[AirmensMom]

27. You bet!

:hi: Are you getting enough pretty things to look at?

[bigwillq]

28. Yeah

I want more animals though. :)

[AirmensMom]

30. Hmmm I'll see what I can do.

But you want wild animals, don't you? Not tame little pussy cats. :D

[bigwillq]

31. Wild ones, yes.

:)

[AirmensMom]

33. I have a bunch of them ...

just give me a few minutes to upload them.

[bigwillq]

A baby deer I found hiding under my brother's car one day:



SoCal - I hope to be moving here one day:



That same beach but a little closer to the water:



About 1200 feet above my neighborhood.



With Snow:



Edited: To shrink down some of the pics.

[bigwillq]

39. Those aerial shots are awesome!

So is that baby deer. :)

FL Everglades, 2005

[bigwillq]

45. Cool!

Those birds are really cool looking.

[AirmensMom]

51. And they're HUGE!

I was surprised the first time I saw one.

[bigwillq]

53. Oh really?

It doesn't look all that big in the pic but I think I heard that they are big.

[AirmensMom]

61. It was a lot bigger

before I uploaded it.

[GOPisEvil]

43. From the top of Pike's Peak

[bigwillq]

46. Wow.

Thanks for posting this one. :) :hi:

[AirmensMom]

49. Just above him.

On the boardwalk.

[begin_within]

54. Just 56 miles from downtown San Diego...

[bigwillq]

57. What a pretty sight!

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

56. A little on the wild side ...

From Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee, FL. She was right outside the car window.

[bigwillq]

59. SWEEEET!

Now those are the types of pics I am talking about! :hi:

[AirmensMom]

63. OK.

I'm begining to understand. :D

[AirmensMom]

65. Like this, too?

[bigwillq]

66. Oh man!

Great! :hi:

[AirmensMom]

69. Here's another one.

I took these all from my car. :D

[bigwillq]

72. Aww, I love zebras!

:)

[AirmensMom]

77. The first time we went there,

we had to rent a car because we drove the convertible (they don't allow them to drive through). So we rented one of the zebra-striped cars. All the zebras came towards us, like they thought we were their mother! The truth is that the feed-wagon trucks are painted the same way. :rofl:

[bigwillq]

78. Went where?

:shrug:

[AirmensMom]

88. Lion Country Safari ...

But I see you figured it out. Sorry for the confusion.

[AirmensMom]

73. And, finally ...

[bigwillq]

75. These pics are great!

Where was this one and the zebra ones taken? :shrug:

[AirmensMom]

80. All four at Lion Country Safari.

Here in FL ... about 45 minutes from where I live. I have piles more just like them.

[bigwillq]

82. Oh ok.

I saw that in the Lion pic but wasn't sure if they were all from there are not.

[AirmensMom]

87. Oh, sorry about that.

Yes, they're all from there. I take the biggest memory card I have and extra batteries whenever we go there. There are SO many animals to see!

[AirmensMom]

92. I like this one too ...

also from Lion Country Safari.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

58. Ask and ye shall receive:

[bigwillq]

60. LOL!

This is great! :hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

81. Like my cow?

Then you're gonna love my orangutan!

[bigwillq]

83. Oh that's great!

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

84. Oh...and I forgot about my horse!!

[bigwillq]

89. Nice hat!

:P

[intheflow]

62. Here are some recent nature shots I've taken down south:

Some kind of bird, Gulfport, MS



Lizard, Gulfport, MS



Trees, Shreveport, LA



Shimmering water, Ocean Springs, MS



Sunset, Ocean Springs, MS

[bigwillq]

64. Awesome!

I was really looking for wild animals and this post nailed it! :hi: :bounce:

[intheflow]

74. Oh, wild animals?

Elk, Rocky Mountain National Park



Fat Chuckie, Greeley, CO (I'm serious, don't try to play with this cat. You WILL be ravaged!)

[bigwillq]

76. Is that elk one real?

It kind of looks fake.

[intheflow]

91. I know, it does look fake.

I think it's the depth of field I shot it with. But here's another shot from the same day.



And believe it or not, this big horn sheep was only about a 1/4 mile up the road from the elk that day:



It was the closest I ever got to such big game in the wild. Even though I've gone back to that same part of the park many times, I've never seen the elk this close, nor a big horn sheep ever again.

[bigwillq]

93. Those don't look fake.

Nice pics.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

67. Oh, now, ya gotta KNOW this one is just WAY too tempting...

[bigwillq]

68. LOL!

:rofl:


You and Duckie are on the same page! :P

Here is another animal that is smarter and more handsome than our great leader Lord Morans.

Here is an animal that I wish would find its way into *'s boots.

Here is an animal that is extremely pissed at what is happening to its country.

Here is yet another animal more photogenic than Shrub.

Here is a real Texan:

[bigwillq]

130. What pretty sights!

:hi:

[maveric]

124. Nature shots from La Jolla.

What a shame it is that the whiny RWers of La Jolla want to have these beautiful creatures killed or dragged out to sea.
Its their habitat!

[begin_within]

125. I think it's great nature is reclaiming land man tried to take away.

[maveric]

127. I love it!

You ought to go to La Jolla and hear the drivel that some of the locals are spewing about the seals.
They actually dragged some of the seals out to sea some years back...and guess what? They came RIGHT BACK!

[begin_within]

128. Valley of Fire

Sea fan and diver in an arch in the reef

[China_cat]

134. My husband caught this one last week

The hawk caught the grackle in mid air and settled to get a better grip on it before flying off.

BTW, we live in town, not in the country. Besides this hawk we've also got a possum that lives out back and 2 nights ago we spotted a fox.

[bigwillq]

137. I love Hawks!

Cool shot. :hi:

[tjwmason]

138. Here's my village pond.

But if you're looking for some pretty things - you need go no further than the nearest mirror.

[In_The_Wind]

139. Here are some of my snapshots.

I have many more that I haven't loaded into my photo bucket.

:hi:
