4. Thanks!
I spotted these yesterday when I went to my Farmer's Mkt....

The flowers are on a small tree........

I don't know what they are, but I thought they were worth a shot!

7. My dear ih8thegop!
Actually, no, since I don't live in Denver....

That is the city skyline of downtown Los Angeles, with Mount San Antonio behind it!

When there's snow, all the photographers come out and get busy......

We call the mountain Mt. Baldy.......

Did you like them?

I had so much fun today, with my camera......it was time!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

32. Well, let's see them!
I'm sure they will be wonderful.....

And I'm also sure that many here are a wee bit tired of my pic threads...

Glad you enjoyed these, though!

6. Winter and Spring Together


That was a lucky shot- I happened to have my old Nikon FG with me that day so long ago in Nashville just after a surprise snowfall. I'm rather proud of it.

Ooh, nice!

I really like that....

Thank you for sharing!

There isn't any snow down here by the ocean......

So that would be impossible for me to duplicate!

Did you like mine?

16. Great Pics
I like the flower shots the best

the city shots are great, clear pics of the city, the mountains look a little hazy but they may never be clear since that is Los Angeles. It does look a little like Denver with snow on the mountains. I knew it wasn't Denver, but prolly wouldn't have recognized it as LA

GOod pics though Peggy!

You just never know........

Glad you like them!

Oh, trust me! It does rain here.......

We haven't had much this winter, but it does rain from time to time!

And the towns up in the mountains do get snow!

Not sure how much........

Thanks for coming by tonight!

I've never seen Minneapolis.........And somebody else thought it looked like Denver!

No, you can't see the air today! If it had been smoggy, those mountains would not show at all.......:scared:

And I kid you not!

Thanks for coming by tonight....Hope you enjoyed them!

:hi:

On edit: So that's what Minneapolis looks like....I can see a bit of a similarity there.....

Thanks for sharing your pics!

26. My dear CaliPeggy
Thank you. Those are not my pics, just some I found via Google.

I have a couple of nice ones I made into B&W. The downtown in the background with Lake Calhoun in the front came out nice in a few shots. But they aren't posted anyplace reasonably accessable, I don't think.

That building in the middle of your pic (The Library Tower) I think looks a lot like our 225 South Sixth Street building.

Wow, how nice to see you, especially at this hour!

Glad you like them, sweetie!

And what on earth am I doing up? It's past midnight here....:silly:

I just didn't feel like going to bed......

But I'm going to toddle off now......

You get some sleep too, OK?

So I thought I'd better take advantage of it.

Toddle off nicely! :hi:
