wow, you got LOOOOOOOOOONG legs! :) Dinner a couple nights ago, Mexican Casserole. YUMMY!

I love your picture, Schoolhouse! It really has a wonderful feeling to it. It attracts and yet you know it's really cold out there! I lived in Baltimore for 14 years and I was very close to Pennsylvania. I loved taking a drive up through the countryside and seeing the Amish and their horse and buggies. I guess because for me it harkens back to another, simpler time there is something that really draws me in. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me today! Mine is a picture of me with the 15lb salmon I caught on a really fun trip to Alaska.

Impressive photos today. The chateaux is incredible. Love the Czech kitchen - it looks so cozy and inviting. Alisande, I have really enjoyed your series of gull photos. They also remind me of the movie, The Birds. Beautiful sunrise photos, Moni. I especially like the cloud formations in the second one. Nicole, your homestead shots are beautiful and eerie at the same time. Wonderful butterfly shot, gyr-falcon. You did a fantastic job of capturing all of the little details like antennae, legs and markings.

I went on a guided nature walk around the UVA campus last week. I didn't have my camera, but a co-worker did and sent me some of her photos. An invasive vine called Porcelain Berry
