There was lots of that.
UGH
I wore jeans---sometimes ripped, sometimes with cryptic messages----I was in college in the 60's---we were the innovators!
Looks like if we're feeling like sharing the fun, now we can give our paperwhites a drink from the bar!

Neat-o!
interesting for sure
WELL Here is a picture of first belle now coming back to life.
Luving the window shelving! Thanks for the howto wintergarden. I want to do that to the kitchen window when it's replaced as it is the only window that gets sun.
Glad you like the window garden, dahlianut!
Now, here is a plant that helps me get through the winter: Thunbergia Grandiflora. It started blooming yesterday, as snow swirled outside, and temps dipped into the 20s. It is today's featured plant at www.agardenforthehouse.com.

Are these them? I took this pic at Logee's--yours are gorgeous!
Yes! And although I've had my plant for four years, I keep it "house-size" by cutting it way back in early summer. This will I can enjoy its beautiful blooms all winter, on a glass shelf in the window garden!
How much light do you give it? I've always loved this plant, just assumed I could not meet it's culture needs.
PG--what is first belle? Hard to tell from the pic.
Oops! Kevin...bet you posted that info on yer website! LOL! :-P
It is a brugmansia or an angel trumpet.
Really nice! And I loved the blue flower this time of year.
Here's a shot from the Army game yesterday. Layup by senior Cleveland Richard - the best player on the team.
Hurrrumph!!! not that hard to place a ball in a bucket when yer reach is 10 feet! He otta try it from where I'm standing--now that takes talent! Hee-hee-hee!
Hee hee. As a short guy, I agree with that! Here's another shot from the intro's.
Pre-game rah-rah.
Ha! I can do a butt bump too! (of course, I would be making contact with their knees!) LOL! Those are good pics--new camera trook them?
Thanks - yes the D300S.
Cool! How did you like using it at the game? Did you need a lot of practice to learn how to get good pics w/it?
Very nice. It's fine when you have the right lens. Had my fast lens - the 105mm, f2.8, so I could easily freeze the action and get sharp shots.
Last one - asst. coach during pre-game drills. I noticed that the reflected light on his head matched his shirt!
Wish I had these lenses!!!
That's what happens when you polish your head! LOL!
Wow!--I did not even know they made lenses like that! I think he must work out to be able to cart those around.
Looks like about $7 grand Victor, a guy in the bird forum recently got a canon 600mm IS, ($10,000!)
Yeah - I guessed between 5 and 10K. Wow, who linthicum?
Great shots Victor! What settings do you use? What is the percentage you keep? (I'm still struggling with my new camera.)
Thanks, Kathy. I shoot sports on shutter priority and set the shutter speed at the slowest setting that will freeze the action. The percentage kept varies - but at least half. Some shots are fine, but just duplicate another so I might chuck it.
No, it was 2dCousinDave!
Thanks, WC. Don't know him. Maybe I should get to and see if I can get his 'old' lens!
Kathy - forgot to say that for these, the speed was 1/400 sec. I also keep it on continuous (low) in case I want to shoot a continuous series.
Nice shots Victor.
Tanks.
Another shot - guard, senior Josh Miller.
Nice shots Victor. No layups for me, just more Hippeastrums. Zombie. Patti
