Do You Have A Photo To Share?

Ken, they do look like they both came straight from heaven!

Great pix, guys. Can’t wait to get back to take new pictures of our granddaughter. She must have grown since we last seen her 2 months ago.

Here some photos of Laos kids we saw in the streets of Luang Prabang.

[QUOTE=Ken-L]I take photos of kids having fun when I see them while on a photo shoot. If I were near my grandkids they’d have a camera pointed at them constantly![/QUOTE]

Understandable, Ken – very understandable. They are so adorable: one angel (looks a little like her grandmother, doesn’t she? ) and one little trickster, I bet she’s a handful, but one who can get away with almost anything.

Give them a hug all the way from a Norwegian lady who is going to be a grandmother in a month’s time:

Here is one of my favorite photos: Thai girl with her chicken in our “home village” Na Lao.

The People of Sri Lanka are really sweet. We have a family friend from Sri Lanka, He is an American Business man now. he imports salt water fish for a few companies in the U.S. A very interesting culture.

What beautiful “babies” ~ angels all 🙂 Keep those photos coming!

Norb,

I love the photo of the little girl with her chicken! YOu can see how proud she is of her pet.

This is from nothern Norway abt 69 degrees north. As a comparison, I can tell you that Anchorage AND Oslo both are at 60 degrees north.

Hubby took this last easter on a boat trip along the coast. Please observe the houses on the shore.

Neat pic Allaug. i would love to be on that lake. what scenery.:)

i’ll try to post a pic of the lake i grew up camping at.

This is me and my 3 sisters. We are all childless – strange I know… I’m in the green shirt and my deceased mother happens to be in the picture frame in front of us. And in case you were wondering, I am the youngest!

[IMG]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/arielccv/sisters1-05c.jpg[/IMG] P.S. We were all born in October, including my mother.

Cheryl,
it’s not a lake, it’s a sound, in between some islands with the part of the North Atlantic called “The Norwegian Sea” just outside.

Here is another one from almost the same place:

“Little-Bit” was so adorable, Ken, I’m so sorry she had such a short life. She obviously had some Abyssinian genes in her, because Abyssinians are the only breed who has mulitcoulored hairs in their fur. It is so easy to see on the photo of “Little-Bit”.

Thank you for giving me an excuse to post a picture of our Mosse. She is very small, only abt 4lbs, but otherwise perfect;)

[IMG]http://image2.frappr.com/pix2/i/20070303/6/1/e/61e682ed7059ab27a1d0c820c397d1e20_large.jpg[/IMG]

If you look at the flowerpot to the right for comparison, you can see how small she is (she was 6 years at the time the photo was taken).

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. The pilot though it was a sea plane, just one little problem – no floats – No, I wasn’t the pilot!

Who knows. He looks really cute. Do you think he can keep up with her? 😀 She is a go-getter, not afraid of anything, already scaling climbing walls, enough energy for two, has a mind of her own.

Beautiful photos.

Would anybody help me to know how to post the photos here?

Sandeep, namaste, I just sent you a private message with instructions.

Looking forward to your pictures 😀

Some of you may have seen this before, but since summer is no too far away, and this is one of my favourite views of the ocean from my island, I want to share it again:

Prasert (behind right), one of our Karen friends from Thailand, just sent us this photo of his family in their traditional ethnic clothes. He is the one who recruited us into the program teaching refugees five years ago. Karen are one of the many ethnic minorities in Burma. Karen State used to be independent until the British left. Many Karens live now in Thailand as refugees, mostly in huge camps along the border.

Neat pic Norb.

Ken, you have a Pretty Soul!:)

I just have to say WOW, what beautiful and cool pictures everyone has posted. I put one up a long time ago and would get notifications of additions, but of course I never saw all these pictures until today!

What a treat! Thank you everyone 😀

This is what Mosse does for a living, keep me warm while taking my after-dinner nap:;)

You pic’s from the centennial parade for the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco, Ken, reminded me – my grandfather, who was a ship’s captain, left the town the day BEFORE the quake, I would perhaps not even have existed if his departure had been delayed! Can I use the word “serendipity”?:confused:

And Norb, you know what the Norwegian Refugee’s Authority did? They got a group of Karen people on therir hands, and since all refugees are entitled to get lessons helping them with their mother tongue, they were given lessons in Burmese – and that it was a mistake wasn’t discovered until 6 months had passed! Embarrassing….

This is my favorite of one of my “babies” my CODY. I hope her beautiful blue eyes show. I scattererd her ashes in the park she loved.

You are a “trip” Cheryl Great Pictures…..I really enjoy……..

(I know, I know………………I will post goat pics soon…..this is the perfect “venue” for it. Please……..I will do it as soon as I figure out how to program it from the new camera that I bought for Deb (for Mother’s Day).

Love ya,

Per

I have tons of really great pictures! I am just too, well, stupid, to figure out how to get them here. I am going to have my son show me how soon! I love everyones pictures, they tell who you are and let us see the world from different perspectives. I look forward to checking for new ones. Maybe someone could start some sort of an assignment of sorts, come up with a topic, say lines for example and see everyones interpretation? OK, I am getting carried away! Anyway thanks for sharing all of your pictures! Dawn Kevies mom 😮

Lines….Ok. Here is a shot of the Glass pylon that is the center point of The Veterans Glass City Skyway Bridge in Toledo. It will open next month. 5 men have lost their lives working on this bridge. There are L.E.D lights in the glass pylon that change colors. Really pretty when lit up.:) [IMG]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/201/515566066_c0970f2259_o.jpg[/IMG]

Boy Cheryl, you are awesome! Great picture, the perspective is great! Now I really am going to have to work on figuring out how to post pictures! This could be fun! Dawn

Ken,

I think we need to hire you to photo our winning livestock champions at some of these major shows around here. People would certainly pay $35.00 a shot (which is what they charge for one 8×10) and your photos are waaaay better!!;)

P

Wonderful Pic, Ken. sooo how many pics did you end up taking on your trip? can’t wait to see them.:)

Ken, Only 250+, do you have trigger finger now?:D or did you just need it scratched?;)
I could go for sunsets like that everyday! Gorgeous!:)

Pictures like this one make you remember there is beauty in the world! Dawn

Thanks, I took that shot as we were driving under it. i just got lucky.;)

Buddhist monks on their morning rounds collecting alms in Mae Hong Son, Thailand. We had to get up early to catch that shot.

[IMG]http://www.bluemarble.de/forum/monks.jpg[/IMG]

FANTASTIC!!!!! um, what are “alms”?:o

Here is the definition I found: Alms or almsgiving exists in a number of religions. In general, it involves giving materially to another as an act of religious virtue. In Buddhism, alms are given by lay people to monks to nurture laic virtue, merit and blessings and to ensure monastic continuity.
Here in the US it wouldn’t work for monks to go out on the street with their begging bowls. Instead, it happens on the temple grounds. Here is a picture of my granddaughter putting a dollar in each monk’s bag. This was at the Thai Buddhawararan temple in Denver on Visahkha Bucha day, one of the most important holidays in Buddhism..

[IMG]http://www.bluemarble.de/forum/Sydney_making_merit.jpg[/IMG]

I haven’t been in here for a while, so it was such a thrill to see all the “new” pictures, and with such a wide range of motifs!

I guess you think I have nothing but pic’s of Wee William, but at last I have another nice one that I want to share. My problem is that – perhaps I’ve told you before – I can’t take my own pictures, so I have to wait for hubby to take them, get them transferred to his computer and then to mine, so it can take quite a while from he takes them to I’m able to share the nicest ones.

Well – the tulip season is fairly long gone, but here is a bunch that I picked and put in a vase in my living-room out of the abt 150 I had in my garden a month ago.

My daughter Kirsty dressed up for homecomming with my son Aiden in his soccer togs. (Nice combo)

That’s a great picture of your kids Ali 🙂

Jer

Ali, thanks for sharing the photo. How old are they? You’ve been hiding your pretty daughter from us all that time 😀 I thought you only had a good looking son judging by your avatar.

Thank you Jer and Norb,

My daughter Kirsty is 15 and Aiden is 5. The age difference wasnt anything I had any control over, however I now realize some of the advantages of having such a big age gap. Only problem is …… with Kirsty all the teachers were my age or older, with Aiden, most of the teachers and mothers are so much younger than myself :p .

My oldest son Stephan and his wife Amy recently opened the cutest store in Intercourse, PA, in the middle of Amish country. I just received this photo today. He is helping out after his regular job and so is his oldest son Karl.

Norb,

We took some friends of ours from the UK to Intercourse a couple of years ago – actually the main attraction was Thomas the Tank Engine in Strasburg. We had a wonderful time, stayed in a guest house called “Das Haus” in Intercourse. Walked to the little stores on Sunday morning to buy fresh bread and jams for breakfast, good trip all round, lovely town.

Why thank you Sylvia [I]dahling[/I] 😀 !

I do believe when you come to visit they will get on famously, we will then speak about the dowry 😉 ……

Intercourse has become very touristy but it still can be an enchanted place. My son lives on a side road, not much traffic there. At night lying in bed hearing the clip-clap of horses pulling a black carriage I felt like being transported back to another century. His neighbor is Amish. At night I only saw the dim flickering lights of lanterns through the window. No electricity.

Very interessting topic, the Amish, and the pictures are like they are from a movie, not “real” life.

Here is something old\modern: perennials from my garden at the moment

Great Pics Everyone!!!
Ok Ken, whats your secret for touching up the photos? I have a few that I would love to try that on, is it easy to do?;)

Ken, I needed you here tonight with your camera and skills. A few minutes ago we experienced an impressive sight at 10:04 MDT. For two minutes we saw the space station and the shuttle fly overhead moving pretty fast from west to south. The space station was pretty bright, about the width of my hand behind it the shuttle, less bright. Here is the best I could do. Only the shuttle is visible in the photo.

[IMG]http://www.bluemarble.de/forum/Space%20Station%20002.jpg[/IMG]

Nice pic Norb. Isn’t that an awesome sight. the last space flight, my daughter and myself saw the shuttle and the space station go over our heads. it was sooo bright and clear, i think the space station’s shape is pretty cool looking.

Thanks Ken, I’ll tell my daughter-she’s the one who took the picture. The long haired, hippy looking guy is my hubby. He’s growing his hair to donate it to locks of love-he usually has short hair.:)

Aaaaah the life, to live on a Greek island!

I love the picture of your son and the octopus! Hope you had a great time in Greece! Dawn 😮

I was surreptitiously trying to photograph the town folk with a long lense, unfortunately it was windy and not the best quality.

Thanks Dawn …. Like you after your cruise, it almost feels like we were never there, just a dream – we had a lovely time thanx.

Thanks Ken, The Beauty of nature makes the good picture.:)

Ali, Those are Wonderful shots, Thanks for capturing a Different culture. Luv the Octopus shot-Priceless!:D

My daughter took a picture of my wheelchair after we decorated it at Cedar Point… sorry its a little blurry.[IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1132/865495013_7a33a739c1_o.jpg[/IMG]

Cheryl,
YOu are the most awesome lady I know(well through words anyway) Your positive attitude and go with it tempermant inspires me. I think the picture of you in this decorated wheelchair speaks for your stregnth and commitment to deal with things whatever they are! Your children are going to grow up to be such strong, compassionate adults because of your great attitude! I guess a picture really doesa tell a story! PS we loved cedarpoint! they have THE best rollercoasters. Heve a great day! Dawn

Thank You Ken, I’ll let my daughter know, she’ll be tickled to hear that.:)

Thanks Dawn, I get it from my parents, they are both awesome people also. You are one Wonderful Mom also, doing all the research and asking all the questions, just to help make your Kevies life better and more comfortable. Big Hugs!
I just wish we could spend a couple days at Cedar Point sometime. There is just too much to get into one day! I am realizing we didn’t get to ride all that many rides, but we did have a good time anyways, and great weather for it also.:D

This Hawk was bombing unsuspecting parents at Cedar Point, while they were waiting for their little Junior Gemini riders…..[IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1045/877890463_8bdb7c03e3_o.jpg[/IMG]

Cheryl, I admire your guts or should I call it spirit to walk around with all your decorated accessories. You put my rollator with the Chinese dragon I had painted on the seat in Thailand in the shadow. Sydney recently addesd a few kiddie stickers.:D

My second-oldest daughter goes to Cedar Point every year with her husband and 4 of her 6 children. She lives in Battle Creek, MI. Maybe you and her crossed path. I’ll send your pix to her to ask her if she saw you.

Thanks Norb, I’m just plain goofy!!:D I think that dragon is awesome, I like dragons.
Cedar Point is a neat place, You and Carol will have to let me know when you are in the area visiting your Grandkids, so we can All go to Cedar Point!! 🙂

I think this is a Karner Butterfly, they are native to this area and are an endangered species. The butterfly is the same color as the flower, on its topside.[IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1385/945855037_41974c2546_o.jpg[/IMG]

What awesome pictures, Cheryl – I can tell that you don’t suffer from tremors (if you take the pic’s without a tripod, that is).

Now I think I have been very patient about sending you all photos of Wee William, when I get up to 60 a week from his parents, holding back is often quite hard! But I just have to shar this one – it certainly is self-explanatory:

[IMG]http://image1.frappr.com/pix1/i/20070729/f/1/4/f1401834d6686e1f4c1d2938007fe8450_large.jpg[/IMG]

PS: I thought I would get his official 4 months’ pictures to-day, but alas, my e-mailbox was empty! When I get them, I’ll put the best on the “Farmor Allaug” thread

Thank You Allaug. I don’t use my tripod, But I do have a tremor-I just have to take alot of pics of the flower and I get lucky once in a while.:) I have to empty my puter’ recycle bin alot!;) Thank goodness for digital cameras instead of film.:D

Wee William, really is a Heartbreaker!! What a Hansome Young Lad he is!:) Post Away Allaug!!! I love seeing him grow! Give William Big Hugs from his Auntie C!!!

Thank You Ken. Those Loofah plants only bloom for one night, timing was everything, it took me quite awhile to get a shot of the bloom.:)

Just to show that our William has his bad-tempered moments too, I want to share this unhappy face:

Count yourselves among the lucky that there is no sound-track here 😀 !

Farmor Allaug, Boy He Has A Good Set Of Lungs On Him!!!!:D Did you pinch his chubby cheeks to make him cry?! (I did that one time to get a poutty face photo of my daughter):eek: 😉

This sea food dish is what hubby always orders when we treat ourselves to a meal at the small, but very popular restaurant on the main land, only 5 minutes away in our Bayliner Trophy. I don’t care much for “cockles and mussles” whether they are “alive, alive, oh” or not, so my orders vary, but their creamed fish-soup is exellent!

MMMMMMM, I’ll take a platter to go!!!! I know where I want to take my next vacation to!!!!:D Allaug You have a Good Man!!! and Smart too!!!:)

YES, I can see it on the wings……………………it took me a few seconds, but, yes…………………very cool. How are you, Cher???
You are a Very good photographer!!!

P.S. And, nice dog (by the way :))

And here are my girls on Brandy’s college graduation day!
Tiffany and Brandy (GBS 8/3/99)

[B]Allaug,[/B] Cheryl is right, that platter looks absolutely [B]devine![/B] better than the fresh octopus hanging up ouside the restaurants in the Greek isles.
I know I posted this pic before, but ………. lets be honest here folks, what would you rather have? These 😮 or Allaugs hubbys platter?
[IMG]http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/aliwills/DSC_0781.jpg[/IMG]

Thank You Per!!! I didn’t see the tiger face at first either, not until I looked at it after I downloaded the pics. So when do I get to see some goat pics??!! I thought you got a new digi to use, be brave Per, ask Deb if she will show you how to use it:D 😉 Hugs!!

Thank You Ken! 🙂

Maggie, Your Girls are Beautiful!! You must be Very Proud!! Brandy looks really Happy! Nice Photo!:)

Ali, Platter, Definitely!!:D

Cheryl, I think we should go visit Allaug one day 😉

Oh, yes, you’d be more than welcome – and the scenery is not too bad either! This picture is from the village near by, Lyngoer, which was voted Europe’s best kept village sometime in the 80’ies. I have more or less distant relatives in almost every house. In the background you can see the mainland with vacation apartments (for the less fortunate!).

Ali, MOST DEF!!!! When is the Best Time Allaug?!;) I love the scenery also!!

Nice Pic of You, Ken!!:)

Ken,
Now that’s what I call a real cat. Nice shot, I hope you were using a telephoto lens. 😀

Thanks for all the nice photos, Ken – and hubby is quite envious of you, Jim, he is really an old planes’ buff; I’m more into lions myself, and if I hadn’t known better, I’d flung myself ’round the old “cuddly King’s” neck right away. You don’t look so bad yourself, Ken:D !

The best time to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Norway is right now, even if we’ve had quite a dreary summer weatherwise. So don’t delay Cheryl and Ali, Ken and Jim and “Tom, Dick and Harry” – go order your flights right away!

I wanted to put a picture here, but couldn’t connect to my photo-base, so it’ll have to wait.

Neat Photo Allaug!!! You should make it into a puzzle!:D

Allaug, I think the more you post the more likely we will be taking you up on your offer! Just imagine if you came to the States, you would have so many places offered, you wouldnt have time to stay with them all.;)

Our last night on the Island Naxos 🙁

Thank you, Ali – I guess I would have to spend a year making the Grand Tour of the US from New York to California – and then I would have to skip all my relatives in Illinois and Wisconsin!:eek:

There is one thing you still don’t know, though, and that is that I haven’t posted one single photo from the parts of Norway that are the real tourist magnets: the mountains and fiords of the western part of my country. I have quite a lot of them from our private trips, but they are “old-fashioned” paper copies, so I’ll have to scan them (well, first of all: find them!) before I can share them here. One day I will, and THEN you’ll be beside yourselves with “the Norwegian Fever”! So brace yourselves: “You ain’t seen nothing yet……”:D

Love that lion photo, [B]Ken[/B]. And I bet you guys had a great time in Greece, [B]Ali[/B]. Good looking family, nice to finally see a picture of you and your hubby.

OK, [B]Allaug[/B], nice picture. Was I included in the invitation under “Tom, Dick and Harry”? 😀 Never been to Scandinavia but for the time being I’ll take a raincheck. In the meantime some US attractions: the Rocky Mountains and hidden away there – only 45 minutes from here – a piece of Asia, a Tibetan Buddhist stupa and meditation center, something you’d never expect in the mountains away from civilization. The stupa is 108 feet, and the golden Buddha inside is 20 feet tall (that’s me on the lower right ). Decorations on ceiling, walls and floor are stunning. The last picture is not mine but shows a better view. I took a similar one but couldn’t find it.

Hmmmm Jer! I have to say that Perry is faaaar better looking than I thought, you and he could very well be twins 😀 . I wonder if he has a good stock of photo’s of you?

Thanks Ali, I think that was a compliment 🙂

But, however, a pretty good likeness
Man, did I pi………you off Jer, or what, to publicly slam me??:) 🙂

Per

P.S. Everyone…………….I really don’t look like that (I don’t think 😮 )
And you are right Jer…………………………”Payback is coming”

And, thank you Ali, for coming to my defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I don’t really look like that???????)…………

Actually, the more I look at him,…………….he is kinda cute, don’t ya think???

I think he is VERY cute. I dont think anyone could say no with those eyes looking at them:) .

He is [I]very cute![/I] And to think that there is a twin still in hiding. Come out, come out wherever you are 😀

Aww Perry man you know your my bud. Here’s a banana 🙂

Bear in Fort Collins this week, right in the middle of town. A dog chased it up the tree. (not my photo)

Allaug,

You made me laugh!!! I saw the picture without the bottom sentance …… needless to say, i burst out laughing once I saw the last line – and then took a closer look.

Here’s a picture of my “sewer line” I had to dig through the patio, and down four feet. The length of the “repair” was about 25 feet outside and 5 feet inside.
