Thanks!

@ Tombow hahaha thanks!

@ Tombow -

New one~

Here

This took a LOT of tape....

@Blitz _ I like the fact that you actually suspended these apples in the mid-air with fishing lines for the pic!!
Shadows make them look very real, and they really look like being suspended in the mid-air!!
And, I like the hand reaching for the apple, and love the green tone.
One of the best concept pics on the thread, IMO. ^^

Been forever since I've put up any photos. Here are some from a hike.

Orange bug!

(poor quality) Mister Moose and Mrs Moose. (We weren't that close.)

Some Catmint. I loved the smell. Apparently, it also has a mild cannabis-like effect when consumed in tea by humans.

MY SISTER! (I <3 her!!!)

My first trip to Hawaii...and I just want to go there next year!

What the hell, few holiday pics

Ibiza Love

Oh my!! Moose and the Hawaiian beach and Ibiza pics in a row!!

@Toby-Chan - I love Mr. & Mrs. Moose pics!! And, the pic of the bug and Catmint and your sis are nice, too! ^^

@joanne45 - That's like a picture-perfect Hawaii beach pic!! White sands, blue sky, aqua blue ocean... I bet you had a nice vacation!!

@Chiyo - You were in Ibiza for your vacation?? Nice!
(Oh, yeah, you're in Europe, so it's close... ^^)
That pic of the island is beautiful!!

Blitz: Can I just say that I love the original concept for this photograph? I can not believe that those apples are suspended by tape/fishing line and not photo-manipulated. I love the warm green hues. A truly original piece of artwork. Lovely job!

Toby: Your photographs make me want to pack my knap-sack and go on a hike. I really like your two photographs of the moose. I love the expression on your sister's face.

Joanne: That is such a picture-perfect view of the beaches in Hawaii. The photograph has a truly soothing quality. I love all of the different shades of blue from the different hues in the sky to crystal clear water. Hope that you had a great time.

Chiyo: I love all of your photogaphs from your holiday. The scenic views of Ibiza are gorgeous; it is a truly beautiful island. I really like the colours in "Ibiza Love"- it looks like a great little resturaunt. From your photographs it looks like you had a great time.

Maybe ill scare some of you away; but i got a new gun

http://dev.phoenixnetworks.net/files/image...ro/IMG_0086.jpg

Are those hollow points? I come form a land where only farmers get guns so such things are new and strange to me.

Yes, those are hollow points. Keep in mind that in a personal defense weapon its a good idea to use them to prevent unintended damage (for example, a bullet passing through a perp and hitting something else, or going through a wall and killing an unintended victim).

@~Edward~Elric~Fan~ - Nice scans!! ^^

@bryantq-sama - Nice lighting effects. ^^ And, wow that's a fancy gun!! Colt..?
(Not that I know anything about guns.. XDD) Anyway, it looks very fancy!! ^^

Yes, its a Smith and Wesson 1911PD with tritium night sights and scandium frame in the colt commander (4.25") model, its a Custom Match Pro series with custom work for the trigger, hammer, and fittings

I'm not very gun-savvy, but that still sounds impressive.

^^ It is impressive. ^^

Ibiza Market
Graveyard

The weather at the market looks so pleasant!

Re: Graveyard. They store urns with ashes in the walls there, right?

...

[Trivia Alert!]

In my Funerary Practices/Death Rituals class, we talked about how most of the (relatively) new burial places look a lot nicer because people viewed death differently when folks stopped dying left and right in their own homes. Since death wasn't such a constant presence in the domestic life, they started moving burial places into the country so as not to take up urban development space. Actually, that's exactly what happened in San Francisco a hundred years ago -- they dug up coffins in the city cemetery and reburied them in some backwater town nearby, and made it illegal to bury anyone or perform burial rituals within city limits. Every cemetery I've encountered in California (they're generally called "memorial parks" -- euphemisms ) are landscaped and well-manicured -- green lawns, artificial streams/waters, flower gardens, etc. And if they used flat ground-level tombstones rather than the upright kind, you'd never guess there were dead people six feet under!

Looks so very clean too!

Oh it was beautiful in that market, course that was Ibiza...

Yes as far as I was aware the holes in the wall had urns in them, least I don't believe bidoes would be in them...I just thought it the most beautiful way to remember the dead...families or couples were often next to each other or in the same block.

@Chiyo - Beautiful scene at the market in Ibiza!!
Lucky you having had the vacation there!! ^^
And, yeah, they got those "apartment" tombs in other countries also. ^^
Some are nicknamed "lockers" And, yeah, they are neat!! ^^
The ones in your pic look very nice and peaceful!!

These are my dad's flowers:

How come you get such pretty daisy's...darn you...and that moon flower is by far my favourite

Thanks!

PS whoever moved my plushies, thanks, I wasn't sure if I should have posted them where they were...

Those flowers are so pretty!! I love them! Oh, I those plushies are cute! I plan on buying a Kon one soon!

@ScarMySoul - That was me moving those pics, then I was in the middle of writing posts telling you about that, too, when my Net connection went off, taking my post with it. Then for a while my connection was so slow it would take forever for this thread to load up, so I couldn't comment. Sorry!!
Anyway, your dad got beautiful collection of flowers!! Those Roses are very pretty!! I love Rose #4 with the combination of yellow and pink!! And I wanna that Kon plushie!!
Nice pics!! ^^

Chiyo: I love all of the summer colours in the photograph of the market in Ibiza. Open air markets always seem to have the best stuff. The photograph of the Ibiza graveyard has both a somber yet beautiful tone it it. I have never seen a graveyard set up like that before.

ScarMySoul: Your dad must truly have a green thumb. The moon flowers and hibiscus are gorgeous. Your photographs of the roses make me almost smell their sweet scent. The Kon and Meowth plushies are super cute!

@river chaser Thanks very much!!

@ Tombow Thanks! I figured it was either you or chi. Glad you liked the flowers!!

@ Edamame hahaha he does! He has fruit trees, a cactus garden, roses, grape vines, his house is beautiful.

I found this photo of our poodle, Olive. Taken when she was about a year old. We keep her on a chain sometimes, especially when visitors are around. She's around two or three now, and we haven't found a cute guy poodle for her. XDDDDD

To quote Roy, "I LOVE DOGS!" XD I'm a dog and cat person, actually.

I took this photo of 2 of my friends during our group guidance in school.

EDIT:

@Tombow I got permission from them! They said it's fine as long as I don't give out the names.

@Amethyst Sunset - You have a poodle?? Gah, she is so cute!!

@miracle_flame_alchemist147 - Your friends are cute!!
BTW, your friends know that you posted their pic on the Internet? They said it's ok??
(It's always a good practice to check. ^^)

I finally got the chance to take some pictures of the dolls that I made over the summer. ^^

Front
Back

I made the Rock Lee one first, then I made the Konata doll. The Rock Lee doll was my first attempt at this new pattern, so it's kinda off, but I'm happy with how they came out. The picture makes Rock Lee's outfit look darker than it actually is, for some reason though. And I worked so hard on making Konata's antenae and it was cut off from the picture! >.<
(Rock Lee = 16 inches from head to foot, Konata = 15 inches from head to foot)

Last night one of the frats had a "Graffiti Night", that me and a few buddies went to. And at this particular event everyone wears a white t-shirt and brings some kind of marker. And basically YOU DRINK! and draw on people!



This was my shirt from last night:

Message from my friend Fitz

Close up

Exactly what it says

THATS RIGHT!

Another close up

A STICK FIGURE!!!

At the end of the night some idiot was throwing water around. So some of the maker bleed/ran out.

But it was still a great time!

~*Amethyst Sunset: OMG , your poodle is so cute, I want it!! I have a black one, but I can't always get good pictures of him since his hair blocks his eyes =P.
--
~*Chiyo: I like the picture of the Ed doll, and your street looks scary when its dark outside lol.
--
~*Steel Heart Alchemist: Awwwww, I love your dolls!!! The Konata doll has really bright blue hair, the eyes are done really well, too ^^. I like Rock Lee's belt and eye brows . Good Job!

The view from the balcony off the kitchen after the rain yesterday in the late afternoon. It would've been nicer if the billboard weren't there, but I couldn't cut it off without messing up what I thought was the most interesting part of the sky. =\ Untouched by Photoshop or paint except to resize

Beautiful sky shot there mei

St Editha's Graveyard

Wow. That's gorgeous, Chi. I want to hang it on my wall. Do you get any royalties when people buy your prints from dA?

Chiyo, that's a very very beautiful photo. <3

Thank-you both, and I'm not sure what money I'd get as I've never sucesfully sold anything.
