Picture of the Day (Dial-up internet users enter at own risk!)

Oh my goodness, Karen, your pool does look so inviting! Let me grab a paperback and an iced tea and I'll be right over.

Steve, gorgeous photo of the newly-married - can't ask for more sun than that. Where is next year's wedding, and when can we all expect our invites?

Kristin and HatTrick, beautiful photos as usual. I've almost forgotten what shadows look like!

Ugh. It is STILL raining here, powerful thunderboomers added to the mix last night and early this morning. Here's my pool now - you know, the one that hasn't had one foot stepped into it yet this season. At the rate we're going, we'll be draining the overflow again by Tuesday and the chemicals and vacuuming should be all straightened out in time for Labor Day. Who wants to help powerwash the decking? :rofl:

Oh, you guys are great! Thank you for indulging my whiny request for sunshine. They are saying maybe we'll get a break on Saturday and Sunday. If they're not just saying that to prevent mass suicides, I'll be back with evidence next week.

 

[Karen G]

Sue, you have a beautiful setting for your pool with a golf course view. Hope you get to use it very soon. I know just how you feel about the weather after living in the Seattle area for 25 years.

Backyard swimming pools--that could be a new theme for this picture thread! Let's see some more Tuggers' pools.

Okay, here's a shot of my backyard right now. Come on in, the water's fine & the sun is shining. It's only going to be 105 today!

Karen, your pool looks so inviting and I can imagine hearing the sound of the water flowing into the pool as the photo looks so real.

PS. I just love this thread and enjoy all photos!

We were given a private tour under the Kings Chapel in Boston because it turned out that my friend had a relative buried in a crypt in the basement of the church. While we were down there, there was a crypt that had a brick missing and I stuck my camera in there (Eerie warm in there!) and took a couple of pictures. One is of a child's casket on top of two others. The other picture is where one of the caskets had broken and eroded away.

So here's an old sunshine one that somewhat fits your new theme. It's the original working lighthouse on Hilton Head at Harbour Town.

Susan,

Isn't that lighthouse now located on the south shore of Daufuskie Island?

Susan,

Isn't that lighthouse now located on the south shore of Daufuskie Island?


Richard

Yes. Oops, I should have said "...from Hilton Head..." there. I can't remember if our dolphin tour guide said if it's working in its (relatively) new location or not.

Bass Harbor Lighthouse Maine

Took this while out on a lobster boat two weeks ago. It was a foggy, rainy, cold day.

This one was taken while whale watching. Didn't see any whales but did see this and the seals on the rocks and in the water:

La'ie Point in Oahu. A tsunami punched a hole through the island you see in the first picture on April Fool's Day in 1946.

Looks like night - but it's in the same spot - to the right

My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and must practice even on vacation! This shot is at Sandy Beach.

Seen July 4th. Apologies for being a few days late.

This little guy was only about 1/4" long. Seen at San Francisco Academy of Science Rain Forest.

Glad they're playing hide 'n seek and not "tag" as I think the bird would lose.

[HatTrick]

There must have been a nest close by, because the bird was acting quite aggressive.

 

[Rose Pink]

I always know when the neighbor's cat is in my yard as the magpies set up quite a loud warning. I've seen them get within only a couple of feet trying to shoo the old cat away. Then, when he does move, they just follow him and continue the loud noise. At least the cat is quiet.

 

[HatTrick]

That bird's goin' down... after a nap.

 

[HatTrick]

Next time... TUG!
