I just wanted to share this great picture my nephew took last week (10/18/12) at the Mix Lounge on the 64th Floor of the Hotel @ the Mandalay Bay.
It was my niece's wedding reception and the picture really captures the happy moment and the beautiful view from way up above the Strip.

We had a 4" praying mantis come to visit for most of October and into November that stayed within a 6ft area on the side porch and in a bush at the base of the stairs. Now that we're pretty well into cold temps and with the first snow today, I guess it's time to accept that this thing is gone. But it was amazing! It would react immediately to the sound of the side door opening and it actually turned its head and followed the sound of our voices. Very cool visitor.

With the first snow today, we're probably seeing the last of these two hardy roses as well.

As I kid I used to love seeing them around the yard in VA. Very cool indeed.
Loved the photos.
Well, it was a little slow here, so this is where we've been the last couple of weeks. From Barcelona to Lisbon. This is Wind Spirit docked in Cartegena, Spain, one of 7 ports of call. Not timeshare, but a nice break anyway. Like one's own private yacht.

We were grilling by the pool at Coconut Palms Beach Resort II in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and I couldn't resist taking a picture of the brilliant sunset.

In this (public) album, I have posted many more photos from that day and throughout the past year taken in various Amish communities in Wisconsin.
I hope you enjoy . . . please feel free to share with others.

To quote Rod Stewart . . .
. . . every picture tells a story and this one tells the rest of the story from Christmas Day and the kids ice skating on that pond:
This photo is "the rest of the story" about the kids down at the skating pond. I've been by this farm before on a Sunday. It was apparent that day that this is where they were holding church. On Christmas Day, this was where the children returned after playing at the pond. In the yard were more than 15 buggies.
To the left of the front of the house, you can see the white wagon. This wagon is used to store and move the benches and books used during church service.
On Christmas Day, I just happened upon the kids on the pond . . . took some photos from a great distance (300mm lens used handheld from two nearby hills) and then went about my day. Imagine my surprise when later in the day I was driving up the road at this farmhouse, only to see the kids walking home from the pond. (I didn't even realize I was near that pond!)
It wasn't until I went by the house a second time, that I could stop and take a couple of photos (including this one) without intruding on them. It would appear that this is where this church district's Christmas services were held and that the children were "sent out to play" while the adults congregated (and the women cooked no doubt). And oh by the way, it was only 12F at noon on that day!

Trog, really nice shot as the vibrant colors really pop and the image has a 3D sort of quality to it.

This and your other Fall image really capture the color and landscape. It's nice to be able to travel this time of year and capture shots like these.

A fantastic capture! It's got a 3D like quality to it. Guess it goes without saying that you had a great trip.

Agree 100%. However, this time all the shots on the gallery are within a 10 minute walk from where we live.
