You would never believe if I told you, what some of the ones I have cost, you could buy one of the most expensive lugers you could find. I didn't buy them, but well to do friends did and they were given to me after they were over the hill to show and that's the only reason I have them in my pond.

I have a friend that lives in the North Carolina mountains.

His neighbor insisted on constructing a Koi pond and stocking it behind the house.

The neighborhood bears feasted that night like never before.

It was not peaceful nor restful...

A haiku seemed appropriate:

Slivers of moon flashed beneath the wave. A bite and all dissolved to dust...

Edward Tinker 05-18-2011 10:10 AM

50 cal is half in inch in diameter, the length is about 4 inches long or so

it is one of the crew served weapons, I do not do that kind of thing anymore, I am just a trainer and observer ;)

... my view at lunchtime every workday...

Large building on the right is the Department of Agriculture (Utilities building)... a commercial office building on the left... I think you all know the white "pointy" building in the background... and the low builiding in front of it is part of the Treasury buildings...

I love this town!

Small back yard in a residential area. Due to the population density ground prices are ridiculously high, which in turn creates relatively small building plots.

But sometimes we get some new guests in the back yard.

cirelaw 05-18-2011 06:53 PM

Sure beats Jersey

The road to the house after Ike, my road is a private road 1 1/2 miles long from the highway to the house, I have sole responsibility for maintainence; there were 100 trees down across it after Ike, some of them bigger than this:

First two are from the deck in winter.

Last one is on the way to Glenwood Springs. NOT photoshopped! Natural colors. A big storm was right behind this.

Really beautiful. Do You give tours?

cirelaw 05-19-2011 01:34 PM

I really miss the snow. I used to flyfish the yellowstone. I was fishing the river, I looked up across from me was a monster moose, no simple bullwinkle. I stook still. He took a drink and was on its way. That certainly put my meager life into perspective!
