Love the pictures Hong!

The wash Brigade must provide much entertainment for my dreaming nephew! :D

I love the stormy days
clouds can take such great forms and color
Actually I made a color palette to use in Paintshop
from a storm resently. Basic colors are so boring
I love the mother nature ones.
Keep clicking you are so good!
 
Is the building being washed in Beijing? I just went through some rescue training with a group from Beijing Fire department. It was a pretty good time for the entire group.
 
my bathroom

our new bathroom is full of cool things....

there was this little dude flashing the world, who was about to pee all over my windowsill before I thankfully caught him :rolleyes:

and then this rubber ducky showed up and played with halved bath gels on milky white soap bars...

what is the world cumming too :eek:

(more of these later on OMG ;) )

washing is good :D

I was called upstairs to share a bath with my lovely Gusty while preparing the last post - I love coincidences.

Its been way too long since we did some good low light photography ;)

may post a very dark sultry and yet so artsy one on the old erotic art thread.. :cathappy:

in the meantime, please do enjoy our bathside candle taken about 1 hour ago :D

yep, and not even a super quality cam, though I love the lens on this Olympus C-730.

Had some fun trying to take moon pics last night... not great art, but cool nonetheless.....

We had a great day yesterday with 2 live music shows and a stand up comedy show to boot...

I like the guitar in this one

and the clubby atmosphere in this!!

and now for the moonlight from our balcony.... I wish we had the 3rd floor porch that our neighboors have for taking fun nakey pics..... oh well.. maybe someday.

Oh, and have a mooncake on me Roy.... they are delicious!!

Good moon shot, (but I'm not talken about the over the railing one. Although I'm sure my g/f didnt mind)
Yeah it was a decent weather for full moon shots. My camera doesnt have enough zoom. I've tried it only comes out as a white blob. A kodak dx4530.
Although it does take some nice pix. Still dont know how to get the real close ups like you do with out them getting fuzzy.
& thanx for the cake.
 
Some clouds from a few hours before we got the storms here the other week.

Mine are pretty much blob like too Roy, but I think it is also because it wasn't clear enough when I took these. One secret is to use a tripod as human hands are just not steady enough to take telephoto'd objects so far away.

am about to switch out the railing moon shot, but I figure you might enjoy this moon better ;)

The tripod idea ,is a good 1 for that kind of distance shot. :cool: thanx...& I do think my camera does have some manual settings I could explore some day. But I only do have 3x's optical zoom(the good one) The 5 or 10 x's digital is when it gets pixallated. But still fine for playen around with. & is really a nice camera over all.
& my moon shots never manage to capture that aura that was so distinct in yours.
& yeah, thanx your other moon is more my type, :nana: but , like I said my G/F didnt mind the original moon shot. & i didnt stare at yours so "no wories mate"

Oh btw,,,I never said there was anything wrong with it.

That is a very cool pic Roy - and I too have been on and off on Lit as well, sorta hard to do much photography when you are hobbled by an accident.

Am now using a cane and moving much better (though still like an old man), and Gusty and I took a walk today to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather.

Took a bunch of peach blossom pics and one of our recently "trimmed" pekingnese :eek:

when I posted these blossoms a few weeks ago, i had no idea what sort of fruit/plant they belonged too. I have since been told that they are "xing" which translates as almond.

Here is a pic of almost the same branch 3 weeks later.... almonds? :confused:
