Random Pictures Thread

One of my neighbors. They live down the street about 50 yards in a big eucalyptus tree. Every year they have a couple hatchlings and then 3-4 months later, they fly off. Next year, they're back to have another couple. Love watching them look for prey..... .... Jerry (in Tucson)

Take a guess on this one. It was taken in Louisiana near Ville Platte, hometown of my younger days. After a few guesses, I'll post a better picture.

Since there appears to be water in the lower right side and corner, and it is LA, and I don't see much of anything else except things that look like walking sticks and maybe a beetle, and since there is probably not a bird nesting in water. I'd hazard a guess there is either one of those things they make purses out of or some long thing that has a white mouth hiding somewheres.

That was too easy. You're almost there. But, where is it??

I'm going to give you a short lesson so I hope you don't make this same mistake again. Louisiana is abbreviated as La.

Los Angeles is abbreviated as L A. You notice I started another Paragraph because I don't think La. and

L. A. should ever be in the same Paragraph. ..... Jerry (in Tucson)

That’s one heck of a Japanese Maple, Mike. We have a similar one but I believe yours is larger. They sure do take over a space.

Thanks. Been there for about 20 years. Was very small. We love the bright orange/ yellow in fall.

We’ve started a Japanese Maple garden on a back bank. Have about 16 spread about, each different. They’ve only been there 12-18 months. Something we shoulda done 20 years ago to really enjoy them.
