I just thought everyone should know this ...

I am a history buff and I found it fascinating to learn how the word Olympics had evolved over 2,500 years.

Until recently, I didn't know this...

A slave call girl from Sardinia named Gedophamee was attending a great but as yet unnamed athletic festival 2500 years ago in Greece .

In those days, believe it or not, the athletes performed naked.

To prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on drink containing saltpeter before and throughout the variety of events.

At the opening ceremonial parade, Gedophamee observed the first wave of naked magnificent males marching toward her and she exclaimed:


"OH!.... Limp pricks!"

Over the next two and a half millenniums that morphed into "

"Olympics"

Just thought I'd share this new found knowledge with you.

You're very welcome..

I like shooting Sunsets and hope to become better at it. I threw the 3rd image in because technically it is a sunset just happens to have Venus passing in front of it. Let me know what you think?


Nice ones, Brian. sunsets are like finger prints, each one different. My latest one.........

The repentant golfer went to confession and told the priest that he had used the F-word. The priest asked how the word had been used so the proper penance could be done. The golfer said: "I was at the local course on the fifth tee and I sliced one badly. It went down toward the brook, hit a large stone and so help me,it bounced and landed on the green about a foot from the hole." The priest exclaimed: " Don't tell me that you missed the F-word putt!"


Well, there goes my coffee!!!

I have a bird feeding station set up in my yard. I use branches placed in different places around the feeders so it seems more natural in photos. I put peanut butter in a couple of knotholes. Chickadees and Warblers like it. So does this Woodpecker. It sticks to his tongue and he licks his beak to get it off. It looked a little humorous. It was so fast, at first I didn't notice it, but then I realized what he was doing.
It may not be real sharp, I shot this thru two paynes of glass.

Thanks again for the discussion...appears from others you are correct...


hb3, Linda, and Richard76, this is what my field guide shows as a Pine Warbler. I know some birds in the field guides don't show a lot of detail and are difficult to identify. Hope this helps. I also have Gold Finches at my feeders too.

Had this little gal pose for me for about 30 seconds today....enjoy!


Great shots, hb3. I have a lot of them around my feeders too. They are almost tame. They sit there on a limb while I fill the feeder.
Send some more.

Looks like a Bald Eagle passing Venus.


They usually pass fish.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Don't know what came over me there for a second.

I'm usually just a lurker here gleaning advice from everyone from behind the scenes. However, a friend sent this nearly 100 year old picture of her family that is fading. I've been working with it on Photoshop but I'm not happy with the results. Too grainy. I need some ideas....or if you even think it can be salvaged.
Thank you ahead of time! And please feel free to work on it.


This is my contribution, hope you like it.
