Chavs Prolific Registered: Fri Jul 15 2011 Posts: 1160 Loc: Ireland	I didn't realise that, Christina; that's Quite Interesting! I agree about the mine having its own beauty. Maybe it's just good photography skills but it looks very like a piece of art to me.

Chavs Prolific Registered: Fri Jul 15 2011 Posts: 1160 Loc: Ireland	Originally Posted By: Christinap You may recall I had a tree come down in the garden that I had a couple of roses growing up. Well, I saved the roses, filled in the hole, put weed supressing membrane down, edged it off and covered it all with bark chippings. The trunk has been sawn into four, two of which have been treated and are in front of the shed. The other two will join them and I'll put tubs of some sort on them. Hopefully when the roses grow completely over the support and the tubs are in place it'll make a nice little feature next summer. It's going to be fab! But where will you put the wigwam? (Don't tell me you didn't buy one, they were cute.)

deputygary Enthusiast Registered: Thu May 24 2007 Posts: 284 Loc: South Dakota USA	Good photography skills? Aw, you're making me blush. As far as I know there are no plans to do anything with this pit. It would take a lot of capital due to the size of the pit and the company that mined it sold out to an international concern. _________________________ "When you argue for your limitations, they become yours."--Richard Bach, Illusions

Christinap Prolific Registered: Sun Jul 27 2008 Posts: 1700 Loc: Essex UK	Good catch on the butterfly Chavs. Yes, I have bought a wigwam, they are made to order so hasn't been delivered yet, should be next week sometime. I shall try it in various places and see where it looks best.

ClaraSue Forum Champion Registered: Sun May 18 2003 Posts: 7842 Loc: Arizona USA	Beautiful, Chavs! Ah, so that's what a Kookaburra looks like. Neat looking bird. This fellow gave me a start a few months ago running around on the patio. I haven't seen him/her in awhile, though. The double tail slows their ability to move as swiftly as they're supposed to; I hope he didn't get captured by something. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

Daaanieeel Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 01 2011 Posts: 331 Loc: Western Australia	Great photos, everyone! Especially love the butterfly by Chavs and the tortoise and lizard by ClaraSue. Accidentally forgot to post one yesterday. Anyway, back to Bali! These rice fields are world famous and incredibly beautiful. We passed them on the way back to where we were staying from the village. This was taken from a car, so it was another one that was pretty hard to take, and you do see some of the shops in the bottom, but it is still looks quite nice I think.

Howie72 Star Poster Registered: Thu Oct 27 2005 Posts: 10939 Loc: Timaru NZ	The pointy thing is the CN Tower in Toronto. I was only in Toronto for a couple of nights so did not go up the tower, just walked around like most other places I visited. Edited by Howie72 (Mon Sep 03 2012 03:48 AM)

ClaraSue Forum Champion Registered: Sun May 18 2003 Posts: 7842 Loc: Arizona USA	That is one tall tower! The doves are such pests around here. As much as I like to hear them, they always make such a mess of my walkways. Here one has made her nest on my roof and if you look closely, you will see two babies. After the little ones left the nest, we took down the nest. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

deputygary Enthusiast Registered: Thu May 24 2007 Posts: 284 Loc: South Dakota USA	Outstanding rice fields, Daaanieeel. Pointy thing, Howie? It was nice that you let the little ones grow before removing the nest, Clara. Every year we have birds build a nest in the planter outside our front door. The strange thing is, it is not always the same species of bird. Here is a truck working in an on-going open gold mine in the Black Hills. This pit is not nearly as big as the last one I showed but it still seems like a blot on a beautiful landscape to me. _________________________ "When you argue for your limitations, they become yours."--Richard Bach, Illusions

Christinap Prolific Registered: Sun Jul 27 2008 Posts: 1700 Loc: Essex UK	I presume that wandering in and grabbing a couple of handfuls of gold is discouraged! Love the dove ClaraSue. We get housemartins nesting under our eaves and they make their nests with mud, so we have to hose them off every year when the babies have gone.

Jakeroo Multiloquent Registered: Sat Aug 30 2008 Posts: 2064 Loc: Alberta Canada	depgary: too funny. Looks like a tonka toy from here : ) Christina: nice display of sedum. Wish mine had "bloomed" this year. Howie: you really should've gone up the tower to experience the nausea of looking down at the ground through plexiglas and then going to the bar/restaurant at the top to get the touristy plastic booze souvenir. Oh wait. Never mind. Waste of money. p.s. I feel sorry for you that you had to spend time in "Steel City" Hope the time spent with friends was worth it LOL!

Dotb Enthusiast Registered: Sun Jan 04 2009 Posts: 381 Loc: Oswestry Shropshire UK	Wow, what wonderful photos from everyone while I've been away. My grandson was born on Saturday (1st September) when we were down in Eastbourne which is where the photo was taken. We had to cut our visit short and travel 7 or so hours to Newcastle Upon Tyne to see him.

These onion crops are grown on where the crater lake once reached to. We stopped here while cycling around the village (hence the bike handle in the corner of the photo). You can see the volcanoes again in the background. _________________________ "We're the heirs to the glimmering world." (The National)

Howie72 Star Poster Registered: Thu Oct 27 2005 Posts: 10939 Loc: Timaru NZ	While in Toronto I also had a stroll around the Music Garden down at the waterfront....who knew flowers played instruments so well....Apparently it is a "3 acre garden divided into 6 sections inspired by the movements of Bach's Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello. The sections are Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Sarabnade, Menuett, and Gigue."
