Admired your 'shrooms a while ago and haven't had a chance to get back to them until now. Such a variety! I like the textures and domed sculptures, especially the dark one with the dinosaur-ridged hump. Keep on enjoying your natural fractal geometry, PCD, and we'll all benefit. Glo

You two make such cool discoveries! Love the incredible liquid jewel tones of the water shots. And the spinning Alfie. And the ruffled apricot fungi. That turtle--the solemn gaze makes me feel like writing a story about a turtle who has this injured leg, see, and . . . never mind. :) Glo

Such beautiful colors, Guy and Bob. Yes, the gentian is striking, especially with the light on it, but I also like the quieter pinkish whites and the multicolor greens of the mosses. Just amazes me how you've got those critters trained: first an ant, now a spider. Very effective. Glo

Beautiful photos, turtle. Really like your cedar, and especially the tree-cathedral shot. Inspires awe. Glo

Looking at this makes me feel like the first time I saw a drop of water under a microscope: crawly. Also itchy. Thanks, Bob, I think. Anything else blooming? Glo

Great investigations, Jeff. Cute kid is best! Also, tadpole, pickerel (does he know he's doomed?) and shadowy mudminnows. Speaking of classical guitar, how about that CD . . . hmmm? Loyal fans are waiting . . . Glo

This is high drama, featuring our bloody but unbowed hero, a black-visaged, snappish villain, and, for contrast, the beautiful marsh setting. Consider: the warning—(boxie’s wise admonition) heartache—(“I don’t know why I …”) fears for hero (“Um, Alfie?”) conflict—("I’m being chased by a...

Well now, this one is most uplifting. Love her stream-of-consciousness writing, much better than many blogs today, with more substance. Makes me wonder . . . how she fixed her pretty Bonnet after the rain spoiled it, whether the "magnolies water Lily" still blooms at Quaker Bridge, what she...

Thank you also for this post, Jerseyman. The life of women back then appalls me. Besides health issues, children dying, and an incredible work load, she had to sit in the carriage while the men explored the land. On the other hand, maybe she was glad to rest. :) Glo

Actually, I think it's the combination of nostrils and eye that gives it such an . . . um . . . unique aspect. Consider the glow-in-the-dark idea, Guy. You could make a mint. :dance: Glo

Nice shots, Guy. How 'bout that expression on your turtle's face! Reminds me of someone I used to know. :mrgreen: Glo

Well said! I'm glad to hear about your project. Glo

This is a great thread--I'm learning so much. Thanks, herpers. Al, what is chipping? Glo

Whip and Alfie, thanks for braving heat and chiggers to bring us feathery, cricketing meadows and the maniacal McMullen. Green snake, miniscule Kaa, good to see you again. I’m becoming quite fond of you—as Alfie said, you’re attaining Forum celebrity status. Such beautifully fitted scales...

Full-size on that dawn shot is breathtaking. I love the pathway of golden lily pads. Glo

PCD, that blizzard effect is stunning. Mmmm. Glo

What a show! I'd pay real money to see this one. It's a tragi-comedy featuring explosive characters in a fantastic setting with special-effect highlights . . . genuine tension . . . classic black moments . . . and a riveting climax, not to speak of the comic narrative and pop-up ads. The last...

I'm loving this thread. Interesting responses, all. Now we need someone(s) to post about their personal frog/toad encounters, which happened, preferably, while searching for stones and sipping from (discussion here) a most delectable can of brew. With photos, please. :) Glo

Thanks, Al. Can you teach me how to pick up a snake? One of the kind that doesn't bite. :) Glo

A great collection, Turtle. Gotta love that "quiet cedars" for its disheveled beauty. And your companion birds! Great to hear that you're going again. I've enjoyed this. Glo
