Ontos's Photos

[GrauGeist]

Really nice shots of the mountains...something I always noticed about hem is just how rugeed they are. It must have looked like the ends of the earth to the pioneers who were seeing them for the first time.

Those quilts look like they put some real time and effort into them...really nice work done onn them.

All are great photos!

Your taking some great shots Merv and I like the quilt shots to. My mom makes quilts so I've got some understanding of how much time goes into them. Again, EXCELLENT WORK SIR!!

Wow, some real artistry in those quilts. Good captures of them.

I've been out of the loop for a couple of weeks due to illness in the family. I thought I would post some pictures I had taken in the last few days. I could not make it to the Riverside air show due to being in Arizona, but I did capture these two flying over my house the next day. Cheers

I hope everything is alright, Ontos. Nice shots. Looks like you still got to see the Bearcat and the Hellcat.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I love the lizard and the cloud shots and great catch on the Hellcat and Bearcat.

Thanks Eric, I was happy to at least see two of the aircraft from the show. My mother was in the hospital in Bullhaed city for two weeks, they decided she could not live alone anymore. We had to place her in an Assisted Living Home, the hardest thing I ever had to do. It's good to be back home and share lifes ups and downs with my other family. OOps thanks Aaron, I like the cloud shot too. The lizard is a new guy on the block.

I can understand about your mom. My dad is in CCU at the moment. We aren't sure just how serious it is yet so all we can do is pray.

 

[evangilder]

Yikes you guys. Sounds like your mom is at least going to be taken care of. Prayers are with you Aaron. Those things can be scary.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Eric.

Way to go, Merv...you scored some great shots there!

Sorry to hear about your Mother, that has to be difficult.

Dang Aaron, hope all goes well with your Dad, I'll keep him in my prayers.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks Dave. Been at the hospital most of the day and he's doing a lot better.

That's good news, man! Keep us posted.

Aaron my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I pray for a quick recovery and home soon.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Merv. I didn't mean to hi-jack your thread though, sorry.

 

[evangilder]

I'm glad to hear he is better as well, Aaron. Now, back to your thread, Ontos.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sorry to hear about you Mum I know just how you feel and what you are going through, had the same with my Mum many years back. I hope she improves and settles to her new way of life.

Looking at your latest photos, the nature ones are fantastic especially the blue lizard and that threatening cloud rolling in.

 

[ontos]

No problem Aaron I don't think of this as my thread, I hope all will join in for discussions brought up in it.

Thanks Vic, I take good care of the critters around my yard, except the Rats, they try and eat the Sunflower Seeds, I can't let them get away with that.

Anyone know the best way to get rid of them. I tried regular traps with cheese, peanut butter and I have tried three different kinds of traps and they aren't taking the bate. I think they have artificial intelligence.

Aside from shotguns, which the local PDs seem to not appreciate within city limits, you might try some poison.
