4. My dear AirmensMom.....

Oh, thank you so much, my dear! I was so pleased when that bee showed up! They were all over the place... But for once, I wasn't scared by them at all....... Love your smileys! :loveya: :hug:

6. You're very welcome!

It was nice that the bee wanted to be in the pic. I meant to say I like them all, but I ESPECIALLY like that one. :D My daughter sent me the smileys. Here's the one she used for me today when she thought I was being difficult: :rofl: :loveya: :hug:

But it's still nice to hear it..... Daughters! What shall we do with them? Sheesh! :eyes: :loveya: :hug:

11. I just noticed the bee in the last one, too!

(I can be a little slow.) :rofl: I like that one second best. :applause: Well, I think I might have been difficult with my daughter. I'm planning a visit with her and she wanted to know what kind of shampoo, etc., to buy that wouldn't make me sick. And rather than telling her, I just told her I'd order some and have it sent to her. She didn't like that. I think she wants to have everything perfect for me. :loveya: :loveya: :hug:

24. See, the thing is, I'm not well.

I was discharged from the hospital, but I am far from recovered. I have no strength left. I'm napping about 16 hours a day, and may not fully recover for as long as six months. It will be at least two weeks before I will be able to return to work. Your pictures have brightened my day. Love you, Lou

I am soooo happy to be bringing some springtime to your day! I had recently read an article about this garden, and had thought to myself that I needed to get over there, pronto..... Today, the weather is perfect...so I got up and did it! Can't wait to see your irises, too! I know they'll be awesome...... :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

26. They really are quite a sight when they are all in bloom

They're in a flower bed that runs along one side of my house. I started years ago with 4 bulbs a former boss gave me, and now they have multiplied 10 fold, as many bulb flowers do! :bounce:

maybe I'll try to grow some again this year. Poppies of all types and I have previously been incompatible, despite all my efforts to grow them.

33. Ohhh, the water and the stones!

What a wonderful picture - but you should know already that I do love water. Of course, I like the flowers too. We have the biggest tulips this year in our garden, yellowish-white. The only sad thing today was that I had to bury one of our favorite Kois next to it. Her name was Madonna, and she was one of my first Kois I had. But her suffering came to an end. :hug:

Glad you like the pictures! I was surprised at how the camera caught the motion of the water.... I hadn't expected that..... I am sorry to hear that you had to bury your Koi today.....as you say, though, her suffering is at an end..... Thanks for coming by! And...Greetings to Heidi! :loveya: :grouphug:

Why don't you post some of the best ones in the Photo Group, and invite folks to make comments? Then you will have some answers! You need to come around more.... Make some friends!

Thank you so much! I could hardly tear myself away from them to see the others...... I'm using Nikon's newest digital, the D50, with my "old" lens, the Tamron 28-200mm... This wasn't the lens that came with the camera..... It was the lens that I'd gotten with my last film camera, the Nikon N60, which I no longer have. I've decided to NEVER shoot another film pic! Digital has very high quality, IMHO, and it is soooo convenient! It is impervious to airport xrays....and you don't have to wonder how much film to carry around! I'm having the time of my life! :woohoo:

Great shots! But you must be tired of hearing that??? Did you increase your shutter speed for the water shot? If so, what did you have it set at?

71. I'll Post Some Of Our Garden In A Few Weeks

My wife is planting some annuals and i'm edging and trimming the lawn, and back filling a few small bare spots (from the construction last year). But, by mid to late May, it should be picture time! I'll post here in the Lounge. These are great photos, btw, Peggy. The Professor

75. Holy god, my dear Xema!

I saw where you said you were going to page 20.......Was my thread there? :rofl: This is too funny, sweetie! Yes, these are natives, indeed...They are growing in a public park near my home! And it was a good thing I went the day I did...the next day it clouded over and was miserable! Thanks for kicking it! :toast: Hey, while you're at it, you want to kick my Camry thread too? If you want to! :rofl:

76. Peggy, awesome pics

I added the second and the fifth ones to my Jigsaw Puzzle. It usually takes me 90 minutes to solve a 350 pieces puzzle. So, I'll spend 3 hours with your pics... :hi:

77. My dear ps1074!

Now THAT'S an application that I hadn't thought of! Jigsaw puzzles! What a great idea! With all the jumble of colors and shapes, these would be wonderful that way...... Make anyone trying to do them absolutely crazy, too! Glad you like these! :hug:

80. This month's theme is "Something Old"

I think. Technically the voting is still going on but that one is way ahead of the others. It's so informal and just for fun. If I can do it, you can definately do it. :hug:
