Ooo, I love fresh green beans, Santana - enjoy!

During our July trip to northern California and Oregon, we visited Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City, CA. It became an active lighthouse in 1856.

Nice pic disgel, are you a bagger or was it just a photo moment ?

Bagger = lighthouse enthusiast.

Hello all. Relatively new to the Trivia site and delighted to find a forum dedicated to one of my favorite hobbies. I look forward to viewing all the good work everyone shares. Haven't had time to download pictures from this morning's trip to the Farmer's Market so will post my Mother's neighbor's sunflowers.

Welcome Tredici - beautiful sunflowers. I love farmers' markets so look forward to seeing your pictures.

This is a passageway I sometimes take - it does say 'mind your head' and was built long before planning regulations on head height became law!

That is so lovely Lilyali! I love gateways and doorways, they fascinate me!

Ach, I was already jealous of TW and the airshow, now I'm jealous of picqero and the auto show... Welcome Tredici, love the sunflowers. Love the lighthouse and the short-people's passageway (I usually don't need to duck!) and all the other shots.

This was taken this afternoon whilst I waited to change buses downtown, in my attempt to make it home before the storm. Not much of a photo, but it shows the clouds I was racing. I just made it, as the rain started as I put my key in my front door.

Today I had a date with my husband! We were able to spend 15 minutes together sharing a video-teleconference sponsored by his unit. I took my camera with me and got a few snaps.

Terrific pic, burgGurl. Also I love the sunflowers -- welcome!

I have two plumeria (frangipani) trees in pots. The winters here aren't kind to tropical plants, so I drag them into the house when it gets cold. As much as I am getting tired of the hot weather (and it's hot), the plumerias are thriving. The one with white flowers has started to bloom. The flowers smell so good.

Loch Ness sorry no monster one day though i will get a pic of it

Oh BurgGurl that photo almost made me cry. Glad you enjoyed chatting to your hubby. Any idea when he may be home?

bhs those frangipani flowers are beautiful.

Welcome Tredici - lovely sunflower.

Lovely lighthouse djsgal - makes you want to live in it.

Love the red devil shots TW and also the motor show pics picqero.

I visited Hereford on Friday to see the Mappa Mundi, (no photography allowed!) and thought this building was quite beautiful, sitting right in the middle of the shopping area.

More fabby photo's everyone!
Ren I love the stained glass window, so beautiful
Lilyalli, the colour of the foliage against the old brickwork of the building is sooo pretty.
This photo is not the best quality I'm afraid, quite blurred, I have tried to sharpen it a little but I wanted you to see it, it is of an amazing sunset one night, the tree's in the drive looked as if they were on fire

Clear Lake on a nice sunny day.

Hereford is such a lovely town isnt it Maggie. Love the Loch, Gary, no monsters though!
Can remember a holiday many moons ago, where they put frangipane blossoms on your pillow each night... smelt gorgeous. Lovely piccis everyone..

I love them all, per usual, but your's BurgGurl was very special. Thank you for sharing such a precious moment with us. Your son and the *DAD and teddy bear* behind him....Gotta stop, I am tearing up again.

I thought about posting this image in the recent reflections thread, as I'm reflected in the central plaque taking the photo. It's a set of polished marble wallplaques in the Jewish Okopowa cemetery in Warsaw, where there are about 250,000 marked graves plus a number of mass graves dating from the German occupation of WWII and the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The plaques are a tribute to the children who smuggled food into the ghetto, saving the lives of many people.




The cemetery occupies a huge area, and the trees which grow freely amongst the gravestones create a uniquely brooding and melancholy atmosphere, as you can see here

This busy bee caught my eye this afternoon.

Wow, great photos all, BurgGurl I was just thinking of you today in church when we talked about the troops overseas...glad you had a date, albeit a short one!! Prayers for his safe and speedy return.

No, not a 'bagger', smv - that's the first time I've heard that term though I know many people are lighthouse enthusiasts! Here's a shot from the lighthouse looking down the coast.

This poor old knight is in Newent Church in Gloucestershire. No one actually knows his name and he has lain there for about 700 years. His dog is at his feet, which I think means he had been to the crusades, and his wife is in there with him.

Here's a close up of his poor bashed-in face, and his wife, squeezed in beside him.

Here's a little activity in West Kensington station. I'm collecting as many as possible for a Flickr group so gets me to all sorts of odd corners (like Barons Court which was the next in line).

BG, what a great date! I bet you hated for that call to end.

Welcome, Tredici. What beautiful flowers!

Liz, your bee photo is fantastic! I hope it was a zoom lens and you didn't have to get too close.

Great photos, everyone!

Here are some poppy's in Colorado. I'm going to have to get more photos; I'm about to wear out the vacation photos.

Oh, Ren, I've been in that church! I have cousins in Newent!

Thanks ClaraSue Yes, I used my zoom lens, but bees and I get along well anyway. I talk to them.

This is the cruise boat that tours lake Geneva in Montreux. It takes you to Freddie Mercurys house when he lived there.

Ren that style of tomb for the crusader knight was definitely the 'final choice' in fashion for the gentry of those bygone days. There are quite a number of them in local churches round here. They're a fascinating glimpse into the past.
ClaraSue, those poppies beside the peeling white fence makes a stunning image, and I've downloaded it as one of my desktop screensaver images.
I had my camera handy, when this plane flew close overhead this morning.
