Can we get a Gallery page in this forum?
Comments (9)Well... Now that Spike has sold the site to iVillage, there might be some other unknown-to-us criteria or threshold that the new owners have in order to start up new forums or side-forums from a main one (like a "Conversations", "Gallery", "Exchange", etc). Guess we'll have to see. I'm still amazed at how this site has grown over the years since I started lurking and posting around '98 - '99 and finally joining when the option became available in 2001. Incredible!...See Morepost pictures of calla let see how many we get
Comments (3)how come nobody's posting the pics? I need more pics! my callas are not blooming the 2nd yr in a row (albomaculata I think) and I don't know why. in a pot, mostly outside in partial sun, good healthy leaves, but no flowers. any tips? grab, you can post some more - they're like a painting. you should make a poster and sell it!...See MoreHosta inspired...(many pics).. let's hear/see yours
Comments (11)Thanks, everyone, for the compliments. With all this rain we've had again, don't know when my grass around the edges will take. I've planted twice now, and both times, as the grass is coming along nicely, we get a heavy bit of rain to wash some of it away. It hadn't rained all summer here until I tried to plant some grass. Oh well, the hosta and all the other plants are smiling. And, i dig it, Willow is just fine now. She had to spend a night in the emergency hospital this week secondary to a high fever and dehydration. After some IV fluid and antibiotic,(and $429 later) she is her usual kitten self again. As far as her breed, I don't think she is a particular breed but she is part Siamese. Here papers say Rag Doll, but I think that is just the coloring. She's funny and keeps us laughing....See Morelets keep this one going...roll call PAGE 2

8 years agoI'm gonna assume this was a hawk, plenty of them around here, but it was just too far to be sure. I just love the shot anyway, such a blue sky and he was like : "I OWN THIS PLACE!"

8 years agoI posted this one on another thread, but it's worthy of a second look. This female cardinal is so puffed up against the cold, looks like she swallowed a grapefruit. Love this pic! Photo taken a couple of weeks ago.

8 years agoHi I have seen the rose grosbeak a couple of time here in Quebec but both times it has been rainy. So now I watch for him when it is raining out. I do have a pair of cardinals at my feeder this winter but not today it is very windy so I have not seen any birds at all and we have blue sky. tomorrow I will be full up my feeder with the nasty wind the seeds will blow away. Here is a picture of a hawk I also feed him pigeons in the summer he comes down grabs one and off he goes But I need more of them around cause I have about 25 pigeons in my backyard most of the summer
Thanks for posting your pictures love them

8 years agoI love the big bird feeder I guess no squirrel can get at the food. Have not seen them here in Quebec I guess the pigeons also cannot get at the food I bought a new bird feeder last year and it work pretty good for the pigeons and grackles only problem not more than 3 small birds can eat at one time

8 years agoDon, seriously, don't be humble - or rather, your wife should be proud of that owl pic! Rare to get a chance to take a pic of one so close to your deck, lucky her!
Here's the latest from yesterday in non-stop snow: a little house sparrow all fluffed up.

8 years agoIn Central Illinois- usually only see a few towhees the whole summer and have never seen them in the winter. There must have been a small flock of them that spent their days under the feeders in the yard this past weekend. Really enjoying all the photos.
