For my 500th... post something beautiful... (photo thread)

[Rhythm]

Best picture of me ever taken, imho:

Best picture i've taken in 6 months:

6. how gorgeous... where is that?

there are too few fountains in the world...

water needs a place to play, too...

8. That is at the Clemens Munsinger Gardens in St. Cloud, MN.

It's a beautiful place. I took dozens of photos there last summer; one of these days I'll upload all or most of them to a photobucket album to share with others who enjoy garden pictures.

10. that's one thing i miss from my my travels...

i love the Appalachian Mountains, because they are so ancient...
but they've got nothing on those young whipper-snapper peaks out west.

36. The magic tree

That's what I called it, anyway. It was at the South Carolina Botanical Gardens at Clemson University, one of my favorite places on earth.



I took this with a disposable camera; the next time I made it back down there the bottom part of it had broken off completely and was lying on the ground. I am so glad I bought that camera that day and took a picture of it. Congrats on your milestone. :toast:
