    That picture was of Aruba, it was a friendly warning given the recent news about tourists being attacked there not an insult ...

    Beautiful Redhead Ducks visited my pond at the ranch. We saw them for 2 days in a row. Don't know how long they'll stay, but from what I've read they will summer up in the northwest and into Canada and that's where they breed. They are diving ducks and the least common duck in North America.....so we felt honored that they visited our little pond. Enjoy!!

    I have a few beautiful photos I took on a day trip up to Payson Arizona a couple years back. We went in autumn just as the leaves were changing colors, it was beautiful.

    Smokey Mountains in Tennessee

    [​IMG]

    Here is one I took myself. It is a little campsite about 30 miles from a paved road. I took this about 5 feet away from where I set up my tent. No power lines, no cell towers, nearest campsite is more than a mile away.

    Nature didn't make those. They have no place in this thread. Back to the factory with your phony funbags, you rubber-tittied ladies!

    These photos show what an incredibly beautiful country Britain is, so much so that in 2010 Steven Spielberg praised it after making War Horse here and becoming captivated by it.....

    Bass Rock, off the coast of south east Scotland, appears white every year due to its colony of 100,000 gannets. The gannet is the largest seabird of the North Atlantic and Britain is home to 68% of the entire world's population. It is the only British bird which dives into the sea to catch fish and can do so at over 30mph, hitting the water like a feathery torpedo, making it the fastest flying bird in Britain

    These red deer do not live in the countryside. Instead they live in the EU's largest city! They are part of a 600 strong group of red deer which live in Richmond Park in south west London. Richmond Park was created as a deer park by King Charles I in 1634 and is the largest of London's eight Royal Parks.

    Blencathra mountain in England's Lake District in Cumbria. The word Blencathra comes from Cumbric, an ancient Celtic tongue once spoken in these parts. "Blaen" means "bare hilltop" and "cadeir" means "chair" and the two words eventually became "Blencathra." The beautiful hills and lakes of the area were the inspiration for many of William Wordsworth's poems 200 years ago
