Got this in Yosemite. And yeah, it was a long distance zoom shot.View attachment 2162137

Great pic! Glad there’s still places where they have a natural habitat. Here we have bears coming into town, because builders are cramming housing and retail in all of our open spaces

Question: How are you guys able to post such big, pixel-rich pictures in this thread?

The only way I know how to do it is to email the picture to myself. It asks before sending if I want actual size, large, medium or small. I choose medium and send it to myself

Thank you. Made sure I got to the beach right as the sun was coming up. It was exquisite.

The full moon over the dunes with the ocean in the background a few nights ago. It was so bright. It looked almost like the sun.

Wow, that is a beauty! What kind of lily is that? My fav is a stargazer. We can’t grow them here. They’d never survive, but they can hang for the spring-summer

That one is an Asiatic Lily, or if you go to Home Depot- they call it a perrenial red lily.

Mine is not flowering right now, but, it is alive and well and has been returning every year for the last 5 or 6 years since I planted it. It survives even here, hell on earth, Texas. We are expecting high temps this week up to 109⁰ F/43⁰C.

Yes, I’ve heard of those. I have lilies, but they flower the one time and done. They do come back next year, but it’s a quick show.

I hope you guys get some much needed rain. We have a semi drought here, but nothing like you and Arizona

I think so, but I don't know. It was on Kauai. I saw it as I walked to the rental car in the hotel parking lot on the way to a luau. I saw it and stared at it for a moment, then decided to simply shoot upwards at it. Pretty lucky find...

So.. sometimes.. well... Memento Mori and all that jazz...




This picture was done in minutes.. I came home to the forest, found a couple of dead wasps.. took pictures.. Because, they varied so much in sizes... Then.. the light fell so.. well.. intriguing.. On the floor.
So, I took a piece of paper, placed the huge wasp (3,5-4 cm long) on the paper.. And took a picture with my phone
I kinda like the light and shadow thing.

But...I had no big thoughts, no elaborate planning.. I just.. took a picture

This is a great capture I know they sting and all, but I still feel a little sad for it anyway

I like this!!
There is something with the architecture, the sign and the colours.
How the word "Believe" just pops right out.

It got a sweet cinematic feeling!
