    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You must have had some great timing to catch that ant there like that
No, not that talented...Those ants love those flowers...I don't know why, but they are always there. You just have to wait until they walk into the focus plane.
 
Another crocus from today with some funky PS editing. Kind of mixed feelings on the result. Something new I was trying.

Went out for an errand yesterday evening. First time out, other than Tuesday early senior shopping hour, in three weeks. Found that HomeDeepot had closed already (closing at 6pm now).
38 degF, but clear, so On way home Took a side trip to downtown and took the mile walk out to the pier.

When I left house I saw was 38degF, and was thinking of going to pier. So my thought is prepare for about 15degF less. So had winter jacket and sweatshirt and hat and gloves.
Is interesting to see folks strolling on boardwalk cuz had been a somewhat nice afternoon, say clear and 45, but now is evening so a little cooler, and get closer to beach and then out on pier, is a lot cooler and more of a breeze, and see a lot of folks turn around cuz is too cold for how they were prepared. Tourist!

Wonderful.
Each one had me admiring for some time.


I too saw the flowers in yard today had water drops, and was an overcast good for pictures. But didnt think I would get anything much better than before.... at least not to get wet and cold for.

Not nearly as nice as Bob's exquisite shots, but when I saw these near walking back from the above spot, I figured I'd try. Its aready pretty heavily cropped. In particular, i like the bottom right flower and the diagonal line the leaves below it make, but i couldn't get close enough to get a clear shot.
