I was just about to break into song, Sound of Music sort of thing, record my dulcet tones and post but then I thought it might not be up to the standard of the image.

Now, consider yourselves lucky to have been spared.

This reminds me of another who lisped. I may have posted this before though.

No weather or time to photograph today so I show some from times past.

Cliff and Trond, I have to come back again to look at those images..
I know I promised to find green things to post, but here are some more wintry images, both altered a bit, from originals here:

Iceberg, captain....
Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

Wow! Fantastic pics! Inspired by Cliffs Gentiana I had a "modifying look" on the beautiful buds of Rhodanthemum hosmariense - result may be a bit psychedelic ::)  8) - think the natural plant is already beautiful enough. ;)
