Christiern Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 This (July 11, 2004) is a beautiful day in NYC. Here are a couple of photos I took on my way to the supermarket. This is Central Park, diagonally across the street from my building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim R Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 We need more threads like this. I wish I was as computer (and camera) savvy as some of you folks. Anyway, thanks for the breath of fresh air! Not viewable from my window, nor on a walk to the grocery store, but here are a couple of images I found on the net recently. These are two different views of a lake in the high country of the Sierra Nevada, which was a favorite backpacking destination of my dad's. We scattered his ashes there 20 years ago.

A Lark Ascending Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) The view from my living room. After a lifetime of non-interest in gardening I've finally decided to do something. The small pond is a few years old (God, those paving slabs need levelling!); the large pond got made a week ago. Very much a work in progress. Currently a building site! I hope by next summer it will be a place fit to listen to Maria Schneider CDs in! Weather's been bloody awful here since early June, by the way!

A Lark Ascending Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 This, however, was what I was able to enjoy last weekend. A nice walk to a Derbyshire pub from a camp site - the oncoming rainclouds heading towards us in the distance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiern Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Bev, your back yard photo had me looking for a dog in the wreck of a car, a small fence that hangs on one hinge.....and Hyacinth Bucket. Sorry, Bouquet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 My, Couw... aren't you just bubbling over with positivity today.... That pic was taken w/a Polaroid instant camera, so I'd say it's not too bad considering. ... and my cleaning *guy* keeps my windows in great shape, FWIW....

couw Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 My, Couw... aren't you just bubbling over with positivity today.... guess what, we had MORE rain today, been like this (heavy rainshower, sunshine, rain, sun, rain,...) for almost two monts now. Might as well have been living in the subtropics near the sea somewhere, thought it's not as nicely warm here by far. Not grumpy though, just that this weather stimulates my observational skills.

Why two ponds? I just like ponds. Also less space to fill in with stuff that needs lots of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
