Seems like he likes everything you post... ;)
Soooo, not only are you a great "LINKER", you are inspiring to my son;) (and me)
SO, when I opened these, I was wondering what sparked your interest for looking into them? Mind sharing?
I was actually looking for amazing plants and one link took me to fungi, that one looked so beautiful that I couldn't help but search for more.
And I always love to look for things that are more hidden than evident.Even when I go for walks,I will notice the tiny flowers that grow through the cracks in the pavement or between rocks.
And mushrooms/fungi seems to fit that category.:)
Those are soooo cool Firmy! Wow! I never realised mushrooms could be so pretty! They would look awesome in an arrangement!
Firmy, you are a spectacular woman and I appreciate the things you bring to light for me and others;) I sat here for about 15 minutes with my younger boys and another 5 year old, they loved the mushrooms/fungi...Quote:

Hey Judy,
Thank you,
I take no credit for how amazing they are:D .
I am just the linker.:rolleyes:
Well, as the linkee I enjoyed them.
Judy,
From nature what would you like to see in pictures?Maybe I could find something for you to really enjoy?:)
Water - anything with water - lakes, oceans, streams - I find it peaceful and relaxing.
Judy,
There you go..

This is where all the boys are today... I had to work so I couldn't go. Firmy I couldn't open the second one? ZBut I sure love water falls and peaceful water. Even the ocean gets to me, but the thought of going in frightens the heck out of me. Judy, I love water too.
Start,
Wow! That sure is a beautiful place,wonderful your family can enjoy such beauty in nature.
I was just looking at this... fascinating.
10 Rare Cloud Formations - The List Universe
Start when you posted that site I spent an hour or so looking at art that was linked to it... beautiful
Firmy those clouds would make a wonderful book for someone to photograph and publish for a table top.
G,
I do wish someone would publish such a book I am sure it will be beautiful.
Beautiful birds-

Mud Volcano In Java May Continue To Erupt For Months And Possibly Years
Firm here is an interesting sight I found it on the mud mountain website.About this Website
Those birds I can't even imagnine seeing birds so beautiful.
I'm quite fond of the little ones in my area but nothing as bright as those you posted.
I'm thought about becoming a bird watcher... if only I could keep my dogs quite long enough.
My link did not work...
Here's some nice ones Flickr: NotMicroButSoft (Working for Early Launch of PPO)'s stuff tagged with nature
Lol I could look through this thread all day.
G,
Thanks for the link,loved the photos in the Flickr link.
The mud volcano link only takes me to the main page.
Regarding the birds,we used to have a kingfisher visit our house when we were younger,it was so beautiful,the colors of its feathers seem to shimmer.
I have also seen a beautiful yellow bird with a single long feather in its tail,I have not been able to find a similar bird or the name of that particular bird.

I can't wait to post the great pics I got on vacation... ;)
Happy to see you are all great! Hugs and lots of amazing pictures, I want to see them all but I don't have too much time. Firmy, I just love all of your threads, they bring out the best in me and everyone who finds them! I missed you much! Bushg, you too sweet thing!

G,
Your Queen of the night flower link reminded me so much of magnolias.
Look at these amazing blooms of magnolia...

Firm those magnolias are so pretty... I really love the whimsy of the first one... imagine the dappled light shining through the little shrub. I love the creaminess of those flowers.
Where I used to live I walked my dogs, there was a church garden with a huge magnolia tree and a bench where you could sit underneath and against the tree was a figure of a angel her face resting against the tree... she had on little coveralls and her little white wings were on each side of her galases<---spelling(Straps) I supposed she was in time out... it was such a peaceful place to take a rest from the walking. My daughter, dogs and I spent many evenings walking there... thanks for the memory jog!
Hi Firm ,
I've looked at all your links and yes they are as you say... amazing.
Makes you realize how insignificant we all are, doesn't it
Blessings
The wife and I love caves.
I have some photos but they are at home in my back up hard drive, I'll grab some this week and post for all to see.
In the meantime, here is my favorite sunset photo, taken this year in Southern Iowa during the spring flooding.
The area you see full of water, is supposed to be a corn field.
Prog... that has got to be one of the prettiest pictures I have ever seen.
You should find a contest to enter it in.
Hi progunr... that pictures fantastic, I'd print that off blow it up and frame it.
It would look brilliant as a centre piece on a blank wall.
Thanks!
I love taking photos, especially nature and sunsets.
I do sometimes drive the wife nuts as she HATES to have her photo taken,
Unless both of us are in it.
Needless to say, I have 3 tripods, since I HAVE to be in the photo too, if I want any
Pictures of her.
I'm still working on some cave photos.
You are welcome G!
Thank you Orphan.
Pro!
Wow.. such a beautiful photograph..
Now I can hardly wait to see your cave photos.
I don't have time to sit and link... but I love the picture Pro! Very very nice!
Getting these photos on here was quite a task for me, reducing, converting, retrying, but I think I finally figured it out.
Upon review, many of my cave photos are so dark, they don't show up very well, but here are 4 of the most interesting.
The first two, are from Fantastic Caverns in Springfield Missouri and the second two are from Crystal Cave in Springfield as well.
HOLY COW! WOW... Pro... you were so lucky to have seen them in person! Holy Cow... thanks for sharing!
Nature is a truly amazing thing, is it not!
If you are ever in the Springfield MO area, and want to tour a cave, I recommend Crystal Cave, above and beyond all others.
We were there in 2005, so I'm not sure if anything has changed, but this cave was privately owned by a man and his wife. This guy was in his 70's. He has dug the areas of this cave out totally by himself for the past 10 years or so, by hand. He told us he has opened at least 4 new "rooms" since they bought the cave from the two sisters that owned the land originally.
You would have to see the cave to appreciate the effort it must take.
It is not like the Tourist Traps, where you get herded around like a bunch of cattle.
The day we got there, it was just me and my wife, and the guy gave us our own private tour, took us into a couple of new areas, that had not even been inspected for being open to the public yet, and yes, we did so at our own risk, as he advised us.
You won't get this kind of personal treatment, at any other tourist mine that I know of.
And no, I don't own any stock in his mine either.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
Edited: I just found out they have a website for anyone wanting to see or learn more about this fantastic Cave Adventure!

I am not partial to rose,but I love seeing them bloom.
