Gardens, Flowers, Wildflowers etc.

All my wildflower pics were taken with my 2 mpx Nikon coolpix or Olympus C-700 point and shoot. P&s cameras can take some great macro pics.

Buzz,

I absolutely love lillies and those pics are georgeous. They are positively the most beautiful flowers. I will be planting them in my yard next year as I plan on a garden in the spring.

SF,

Love the lady slipper pic.

hobby,

You're pics are showing up red x's tonight.

Thanks, Tom. Darn near titled that one "foreplay," but thought better of it.

I like the garden lilies also. We just planted a dozen different varieties in the new gardens we've cut out in our new place.

buzz: nice angle on that first orange tiger lily. Not the usual look at all.

Here are a few more.

Thanks Tom and Catfish, that orange oriental stargazer (Lily) is on the slope in my garden so it didn't take a whole lot of effort to think up the blue sky/Oak tree background. I like the contrast myself, it's one of my favorite pics (that I've taken).

I like that Fern pic Johnny! something cool about it. these are all great guys, keep them coming. I was out for a walk in Murphy Hanrehan park last night with the family... dog, two kids in a stroller and the wifey poo.... I of course had my camera and not much was happening... so I let down my guard and put the camera in the bottom of the stroller and minutes later I turned a rounding corner and an Osprey was perched right on a dead tree!!! I was like "STOP" to my dog, wife etc.... of course the bird looked right at us.... starred us down as we sat frozen, except my Golden Retriever... she was fidgity... I slowly went for my camera and I heard a whoosh and looked and it was flying the opposite direction!! I was like arghhhh, that opportunity does not come often. So now every time I go past that tree I will be cursed with the memory of what could have been. smirk.gif

Thanks Buzz!.... the beauty of a common fern can really be quite nice photographed I guess...lol!...most people just walk by thse little"scenes" not realizing the beauty right at ther feet!..that's why I love photographing nature...brings one closer to their surroundings!...I think your "stargazers" are fantastic!...I had a couple my self but they didn't grow this year for some reason..I do have a few "asiatic lillies' that I'll be posting in the future...jonny

Very nice work here guys--I don't have a whole lot of flower pics, but here's 2 that I thought were nice. One is of the Mom-in-laws garden, the other is a macro shot of a rose bud that I bought mama last year.

I have to say that some of these are really great guys. I have been inspired. Here's a couple that I've taken recently, but they're nothing special. I have been playing around trying to work with different background possibilities. I am gonna try to get out and take some flower pics this week maybe.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
