I love the head-on image of the Flying Lady in the second shot. Looks like a still shot from a Marvel-Disney movie. Good shot!
Dean, I love the driftwood shots; they look like sculptures. Good work!
Good Shot...very atmospheric. It would be even more effective if you could take out the very dark branch in the foreground.
Looks downright primordial, Jim; is that a Saber-Tooth perched on those dark rocks?
No more need to ponder!
nut, (n.)
"hard seed," Old English hnutu, from Proto-Germanic *hnut- (source also of Old Norse hnot, Dutch noot, Old High German hnuz, German Nuss "nut"), from PIE kneu- "nut" (source also of Latin nux; see nucleus). Sense of "testicle" is attested from 1915. Nut-brown is from c. 1300 of animals; c. 1500 of complexions of women.
Meaning "crazy person, crank" is attested from 1903 (British form nutter first attested 1958; nut-case is from 1959); see nuts. American English slang sense of "amount of money required for something" is first recorded 1912. The nut that goes onto a bolt is first recorded 1610s (used of other small mechanical pieces since early 15c.). Nuts and bolts "fundamentals" is from 1960.
There is some evidence that it is from the middle French word for screw, escroue, perhaps indicating that the two items were conflated
Good one, Ed. She's almost like a flying flower.
Dan, I love the unique view of the Floating Frog.
The IR image gives new meaning to the phrase, "A Mans/Woman's Home is His?Her Castle!"
I have a 2TB Western Digital Elements (Very small profile) that works great for me. If I need a larger one someday, I would go for the WD again. But as far as I know, this model doesn't run on batteries, so if you need it for downloading in the field ( I don't), you might need something else. Gary
The texture and color both amazing, Kalina.
Nicely done! I love the interplay of light and shadow.
Nicely Done. I love the use of light and shadow.
Thank you for your quick response, Mark. Much appreciated. Gary
Regis, this is undoubtedly the best/sharpest eagle portrait I have ever seen, especially evident in double download.
