what a gorgeous little skink. I cant get anywhere near the ones here, the whippets hunt them if they see them. Sorry for giving you the heebie jeebies with the spider bridge. Just imagine if you had to walk across it.

From your description it sounds like a Purple Swamp hen to me. Good on you for doing the right thing. CrazyCresties posted a pic of one here http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?s=&a...t&p=5170613

Spider bridge. This poor spidey had drowned in one of my water gardens so I fished it out and put it on a fence post. Almost immediately the ants started swarming over it. At least it didn't go to waste.

Back at Beechworth bakery today, my simple pleasure is meeting this cute little puppy.

It looks really old huga, like it was taken when I was a kid. That's like 50 years ago Is that the look you wanted? I love the inclusion of the hills hoist.

Doing a study on the topic of Horrid and Shocking?

I've joined one but only managed to go to 2 meetings. I haven't entered any of their montly comps yet.

amazing colours on the loris. I love the purple swamphens. I didn't know you'd have them over there. The last one might be a peregrine falcon but I am not certain. Someone will know. Cracking shots you're getting.

Nope, I only knew Alicia through DOL and met when she first asked me to second shoot at a wedding. Most of my good friends now are through DOL. the RnR Thread, it makes me cringe thinking about that. But in a way it helped me grow. Thank god it is lost in cyber space now. To be honest the most I learnt about photography and to think outside the square was the DOL Photo challenges. Its like they kick-started something in me. Thanks again guy. I wish you didn't feel like that. I thought it showed an incredible transformation. There's nothing wrong with not knowing it all at the start. We all have to learn. Some of us will never really move on, but from the start you had that something.

Did you know Ash before you came to DOL?

I just had a look. Far out. I am sure I recall saying a couple of years ago you were going to be "famous" and all we DOLers can start sashaying around bragging that we know you. I also recall saying you should make a coffee table book of Ralph before I even realised it was possible to do. (insert smug smile here) edit: I found it, I wasn't imagining it. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?s=&a...t&p=3856983 You had such a talent right at the start, I wish that first thread was still here. Although you might have looked back at those pics as you learnt more and probably thought they were terrible I looked at them and thought how clever and creative you were. I can still remember the one of Ralph sitting glumly with a big dob of slobber across his face and saying to himself "I dont like it here" while Rocco sat beside him, smiling, oblivious. You used to come up with such clever captions, they just made the photos, and it showed that talent and imagination you have just waiting to be released. And now you have done it. I am really REALLY happy for you. :D

all my whippets seem to spend alot of time in the air. I need to put strings on them or they might all just float away.

is there somewhere we can look at the entries? not just the winners?

I'm trying to find it. Is it for 2010 or 2011?

wow, that is truly amazing. I remember when she first started posting here. I'd love it if we could see the pics she posted. Please pass on my congratulations to her.

This one is an absolute heart melter.

gorgeous clever girl.

can you post some pics please.

I think Bec bought one too but I dont know if she's posted pics here using it. I'd like to know what she thinks of it. My friend has whippets as well. I'm wondering how good it would be for capturing them at full pelt.

week 8 Puck on left Tag on right.

simple pleasures, a good splash and wrestle in stinky water. Doesn't appeal to me but the boys think it's fun.

Well they're really good!

She said Dobby is a she but when it was laying on its back it looked like a boy to me. The dog was really tripping cause when the owner looked out the window she had a black and white top on and when she walked out side she was wearing a blue top, maybe it was ME who was tripping I found it amusing but I hope people dont go out now encouraging their dogs to lick toads, I think it needs to be discouraged from what I have heard.

A friend's been asking me about lenses. I know a couple of you have got a Sigma 70-200 but there's 2 models, which one have you got and what is the difference with them, apart from the obvious - price. http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/...p?idProduct=163 http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/...?idProduct=3015

Ooh ta, I hadn't got round to asking you but I'll PM you our password.
