Gently, Whip, go gently! In my professional opinion, unsatisfactory pronoun usage, particularly in relationship to homonyms and/or in regard to referential confusion with nouns of multitude and personification, seems to accompany the type of personality disorder (Alfreda/Alberta/Alfalfa) with...

Dramatic--and the complete set even more so! I liked the way you sequenced them . . . and how you included the moon, calmly watching all the furor below. Thanks for showing us. Glo

Thanks, Jim. This looks like an interesting site. I've bookmarked it. Glo

And how much of this amazing yarn do you expect me to believe? So what did the frog taste like? I KNOW. Just testing you. :) If you say like chicken, I'm not convinced that any of this ever happened. Didn't someone say something about Alfie fabricating? . . . Such a pity, and here's me...

Awe is the word. So glad you had your camera and thought to share them with us. We should take up a collection for that wide angle! Glo

Charming denizens of the swamp! These photos are more appealing than the ones National Geographic has on their site. Are the eyes really so blue? Or is this more of Whip’s photo-magic? The stripes are especially interesting, since—according to what I read—they serve to disrupt the...

Thank you. Just what I needed. You've got a good eye for color! I'm hoping to see them myself in October, but my story can't wait that long. :) Glo

Okay, here's two questions, kayakmac: [BTW, really nice post.] 1. What is the red groundcover in 46er's attractive photo, above? 2. You said pink for the swamp maples. The standard references say red. Tell me precisely? I don't want to get it wrong, when she picks up three leaves and...

A lovely vista. Thank you. Reminds me of: "Blue . . . is everlastingly appointed by the Deity to be a source of delight." (Ruskin) Glo

Guy, do you have any idea how old that last one might be? (What are your mental guidelines when you're thinking about age-of-stone?) A great photo! What kind of rock is it? Glo

Alouetta? Where’d SHE come from? Don’t you think your psyche’s going to get overcrowded? All them chatterin’ female voices will spook the frogs, the owls, and maybe even Billy. He’ll have to leave you home. :jeffd: But if you’re serious about that unibrow: still Anonymous

Cute crooner! Glo

#7 cool photo, VERY cool dog! Glo

Thanks, Mark. I like your beautiful-sad trees very much. Curious about the stone walls. Sandstone, not dressed, right? Indigenous? Or where did they get it? It's an art, building stone walls like that. Glo

WAIT just a minute! Consider your fans, both of them. And the viewing public. Vernal ponds à l’Alfie is one thing, but à l’Alfreda au naturel is quite another. PG 13! Slag this thread? Besides, the far aints’ll getcha all the faster: yum . . . yum . . . Alfreda-sauced. Anonymous

I haven't done anything with Montana except drive through it (yahooooo!). Worked two summers at Banff. Pretty, but overrun with tourists unless you get into the backcountry. Up there . . we don't play with the bears. :) You'd like BC. No far aints. Enough wilderness so a person can breathe. But...

Thanks for the info, Alwhoeveryouareatthemoment. Your moidalize-ing is just fine. I'm not really a southerner, unless you're counting southern British Columbia. They're still fighting the "War of Northern Aggression" down here. I didn't know about the swamps being beautiful, though. If...

Love it. And photo. G

Speaking of medders: Guy, when you say "savanna" are you referring to the same sort of landscape? [Funniest thing, medder isn't in my reference book.] Glo

Nice. :) Glo
