Post A Photo, A Real Photo

[Peanut]

@Pearl Almost forgot, took this Friday. My horse, his name... Bud, short for Buddy! Or should be Mr. Piggy! Look how fat he is!

Most of you have seen the recent photos of sick neglected cattle I've posted, nothing but bags of bones. The pastures are unfertilized and have been overgrazed for 3 years...

I take care of this horse, in the same pastures as the cows... All it takes is a little effort.

In 2007 a local 7-Eleven had a temp facelift remodel to resemble the Simpsons cartoon store and one of the stores in Henderson, Nevada where I was a Police Officer was selected for this make-over. At the start of shift our squad went to the store to take some pictures. I am 2nd from the right. My favorite "work wife" is on the far right. We had a good shift that year, but our Sargent was the worst I ever had, and the 2nd worse was pretty darn bad. I had a "Squishy" that morning and later that week bought a case of "Buzz" cola. Sadly I kept the case of Buzz cola in the garage and the heat caused all the cans to burst. It would be awesome to still have that case of Buzz cola. Ugh.

Was leaving a friend’s house last Sunday and this tree rat bounds over to the door and won’t go away. Apparently someone in the neighborhood is feeding it.

My old neighbor "Shorty" and his old hot rod. Shorty became a friend day one when I bought my property. He kept asking me when I was going to start building the house. I finally told him "next week" and on Monday at 8:30am I was sleeping in my trailer and heard lumber tossing around on the cement slab. I got dressed and walked outside and asked what he was doing. His reply, "If you quit burning daylight we can start building this house." I didn't ask for help, he didn't offer help, he just showed up every morning Monday through Friday and woke me up with the sound of lumber bouncing off the cement.
Both my grandfathers had died well before I was born so I never had a grandfather. Shorty was younger than my parents but older than my oldest sister, but he was old and was the closet thing I ever had to a grandfather. Sadly, Shorty passed last year but I got to spend 5 years visiting and working with him creating memories that will last my lifetime. If/when I finish the house I will create a photo album and document each step of the building process with Shorty's help.

How cool!!

I just saw on the news that a guy in Lake Charles nicknamed "Shorty" who was very popular in the community, helped charities, gathered recycling materials, etc passed away. Looked completely different than your Shorty, Inresponse. I never met the guy but I admit I teared up watching the news program. He seemed like a very nice man. The news people were pretty upset.

It's a product photo, but I admit I kinda want it (well, I'd want it if I had a mansion with a library with Chesterfield style leather sofas and couches & stuff). I'm adding it to my wishlist of objects for Sims4. LOL. Gonna have to see if anyone has made something like it. It would actually make a neat little couch for toddlers.

Took this picture of one of the tortie kittens sitting in a stroller on my friend's porch

It'd be nice to actually see this. I only see a flash and hear a thud. The last deer I killed I hit with my truck.

The first ridge in the background is our place, I think it’s pretty this time of the year.

 

[Peanut]

Beautiful!!! Bet those woods are full of squirrels. About time of the year for squirrel dumplings.

You can get a mess anytime you feel like it!

We squirrel hunted in the swamp a lot, got a big mess of squirrels once. Dad was cleaning them at home on the tailgate of the truck. He was tossing entrails and hides to the dogs (running walkers). A kitten had got into the bed of the truck and kept trying to get the squirrels in the pan of salt water.

Dad tossed the kitten at a hound that caught it thinking it was a hide. I’ll never forget the look on that dogs face when he realized the “hide” was alive and climbing out! It was funny! The next hide he caught he dropped and sniffed before eating it.

The kitten went to the barn where he belonged, quickly.

I don't think I've been squirrel hunting since those years.

I don't want to say what the hilt of that knife looked like before I scrolled down all the way. LOL.

My 18" rolling tool bag (over at my friend's house as I was loading it up to pick up some of my tools). It has a telescoping handle & wheels so I can roll it like a carry-on.

Every toaster has a setting like that. I don't know why.

Iceland

Don't know if this is computer generated or a real photo was involved.

This reminds of Mt Etna in Sicily. If so it's from an angle I've never seen the mountain from.

 

[Bacpacker]

Those last 2 are awesome Peanut.
Buddy of mine at work got to travel to Iceland for one of his projects and had some killer pics when he got back. Couldn't stop talking about the beauty.

It's definitely computer generated. But I like it!

I remember my father burning toast then scrapping the black stuff off with a butter knife. He seemed to like it that way.

The Princess got a convection toaster oven. After she princinerated some meat ball sandwiches I had to school her on what the burnt toast setting looked like.

She said "Oh!"

Ha! I knew that peak reminded me of Mt Etna! I searched the name in the bottom right corner of the pic. This is what I found.

I love photographing sicilian landscape and Mount Etna is my passion.

The first time I saw Etna we were anchored in the bay to the east. It happened the sun set directly behind the peak. It was an optical illusion. The sun seemed to hang behind the mountain with just a point of sun visible. The darker it got the brighter that spot of sun got. It wasn't the sun, it was the glow of the lava at the tip of the peak.


Here are two of Mt. Etna erupting from this same guy.

Nope. It's real.

The more I look at the photo the more sure I am that it was taken from north of the peak. I've seen the peak from the NE (straights of Messina), the east, SE, S and SW... But never from the north, northwest or west.

 

[Haertig]

Nope. It's real.

You are never going to be able to see that many stars at twilight. And that is civil twilight in the picture, not even nautical twilight, certainly not astronomical twilight. Sure, some parts of the image may have originated from a photograph, but it is definitely a work of computer manipulation. It's still a neat picture though.

I like this one too (from the Jodi Foster movie "Contact"). Parts of it are from a real photograph too, but it's obviously computer manipulated on top of that, just a titch.

Hubby was taking down this stump, but instead he's getting a gazing ball for it to recreate The Great Eye!! But he claims NOT to be a Lord of the Rings fan!
