{whispering} I have them in my computer. {lol}  :D

I spend a fair bit of time online, and it can on occasion get a little boring & monotonous,
...so every once in a while, I'll take a little peek in my funny graphics folder to give myself a laugh.

Consider yourself extremely fortunate I couldn't find my "gushing geyser" shot.
That one would have had you SCREAMING Uncle, and running for the hills! {lol}

STella, ...Canada basically has 2 seasons... winter & July.
I don't have much use for snow, ...and I get very little enjoyment from it.
...so when I am able to appreciate the beauty of snow... DON'T EVEN CONSIDER MESSING WITH IT!  >:(

You're welcome.  :)

But seriously though, ...lets examine this.

What was it about those eggplants that you found so "objectionable"?

Was it is really the eggplants you objected to,
...or the thoughts you conjured up in your mind when viewing them?
...and how do you see these thoughts as not being positive?

i saw it when it first showed up, but never really checked it out much.  By the way how do you include a pic in a post?

Oh OK. Well just to bring you up to speed, people posted pics of beautiful things God made, ...then some people started posting pics of stuff that many could argue weren't beautiful things, and certainly not from God, ...and when questioned about it, they justified it with what I believe to be very racist rhetoric.  :(  So.... after seeing the thread a little stalled for a couple days, I decided to get the puppy back on track by posting a few pics of what I thought were beaut-i-ful snow sculptures  :D ...but a mean, mean, sourpuss of a moderator (who shall remain nameless) had the nerve, ...the audacity, ...the unmitigated gall, to actually go in, and alter my post, remove my snow sculptures, and replace them with a pic of her dog!  :o   >:(

She really frosted my cookies.  >:(  >:(  >:(

Since she's the moderator of this board, I'll respect her decision, ...but it doesn't mean I have to like it, or won't try to persuade her to reconsider.  :P  But for some reason... she appears to me to have a very narrow view of "the beautiful things God created." She told me vegetables were ok, ...and didn't mind my carrots, but when I posted additional examples of God's beautiful creations... curiously, it seemed to make her increasingly more uncomfortable. {shrug} She had a problem with my pumpkins, ...so I gave her lemons with zucchini, a tomato, a lime and a little cilantro. {shrug} she didn't seem to respond very well to that  :-\, ...so then I gave her a series of eggplant pics, with lemons, and a little red pepper... still she gave me the silent treatment. :'( When I posted some more eggplants, with celery, red peppers, and a few bosc pears thrown in, ...and suggested the next examples would be bananas...  :o she just kinda flipped out and deleted everything. {shrug} Poor girl. {sigh} I don't think STella is a vegetarian. she has a problem with vegetables. So I decided to move on to natural rock formations and landscapes.

When you go to post a message, see where it says "Additional Options"? click that link, and it gives you the option of uploading & attaching a file from your computer.

I think Migs would find as much beauty in God's bountiful fruit & vegetable harvest as I do.
...he may not be a vegetarian, but... what with him bein' a chef and all...  Wouldn't you agree?  :)


I agree, these are wonderous creations.  Thanks for letting me know about the pic posting.  iwas trying to post the other day and it didnt work.  by the way Jaguar, i enjoy your writing style

everest on the left, w lhotse on the right. the plume of snow that streams out on the right side of the peak is torn from it at the point where everest pierces the jet stream.

{mwahaha} It's probably scaring the bejeezus out of BammBamm right now. I've probably got an entire album's worth of shots like that of him as a baby... butt nekkid, and/or dressed up in all sorts of goofy getups. One of my favourites was when we dressed him up as "The Little Green Sprout". I always knew those shots would one day make good blackmail material.   8)

Hawaii.  Sometimes the trades disappear for days and it gets a little muggy.

Actually, I think San Diego has slightly better daytime weather, because it's about 10 degrees cooler most of the year.

Why would we celebrate Pretty things God made?

Should we celebrate or mourn the terrible things God made? Like the Tsunami, other nature disasters that kills people?

Are humans capable of having an understanding of Gods creation?
