What's the View Like From My New Place?

[MechaMZ]

hey, the pics are cool

 

[Kurdt]

Hmm perhaps some sort of bacterial air filter will have to be introduced into this Evo suit.

I need my suit! Can you put "magic fingers massage" into it?

I could try but I'm worried about combining anything electrical with it.

Next fall you need to sneek in a few daffodils down by the creek, what a lovely setting for some spring colors.

Oh, sure! Broken arms, broken legs, broken hips... some friend. Evo must stay out of the "ditch of darn" at all costs!

 

[turbo]

BTW, I don't bother planting flowers. My "spring colors" fly - and sing.

Oooh, I "could" plant bulbs for next spring!

Perhaps Kurdt should also build some type of structure that I could get harnessed into, like a cantilever, which I could hang from, then I could swing out over the Ditch of Darn and lower myself safely to the ground. Of course, while I am in my new protection suit.

I *love* those pictures!

 

[Moonbear]

Yeah, if you get any ideas about planting flowers down there, you're first going to have to get into a safety harness and be fully supervised by a professional mountain climber.

Thanks! I love *my* birds. It sounds like a jungle out here with all of the singing and calls. I get repeat visitors and new ones. Sometimes, they're "just flying through" and won't stay. Last spring, I had migrant Baltimore orioles and scarlet tanagers, but either the heavy finch/grosbeak/sparrow populations looked like too much competition, or the terrain/vegetation wasn't just right. They stuck around for a day or so, then moved on. The chickadees that camped out with me all winter have dispersed, with only a few nesting pairs remaining. It's wonderful living out in the woods. In our last house in a subdevelopment, our lot bordered on forest with nothing but trees and brush, etc all the way to the river (1/4 mile or so). Even, so, we never saw this variety of birds, nor did they nest nearby for the most part.

 

[Evo]

Still, looks like you're doing well with the camera.. I see the incorrect date/time has disappeared!

Whoa! You're right! How did that happen?

 

[rewebster]

maybe it has a smart chip---did you plug it into the computer?

Another picture sitting on my patio.

That would have been the winning entry in this week photo contest. Care to reveal type of camera, Evo?

 

[fuzzyfelt]

Very pretty. I love fuschias.

 

[hypatia]

Very pretty. I love fuschias.

So do squirrels, I cought one hanging on my basket of them, calmly eating a bud right in front of me! I've had them in the past, and never seen this befor. Maybe I just got a fuschia addict on my hands?

It's a really inexpensive little camera the Evo Child bought me for mother's day. I told her I wanted to be able to "point and click". They didn't have the camera she had planned to buy me, so for $85 she got this. It's a Polaroid i631, 6 megapixel. I have a very nice complicated digital camera that I never use because it's too complicated.

Ah, I see the Evo child's first test picture she took after she gave it to me.

Here is a picture of one of the many water gardens at the arboretum near me. I love that place. I didn't take this picture. This is where the mountain lions live. Well, they live up on the cliff that you can't see.

very Monet-esque

 

[Evo]

Actually, that is the Monet garden.

 

[Andre]

Nice shots, Looks like a nice camera, however, there are complaints:

If you get the hang of it, point and shoot carefree under all circumstances and have brilliant results, it may be worthwhile to consider some alternatives eventually.

Arboretums are cool.

 

[_Mayday_]

Do you nearly have enough photos to do a google Earth like map of your house? Evo, all these photos look stunning, looks a really nice place.

I got this e-mail message today.

Hello pretty lady. You beautiful very much. I make frisky you, ya?







(a hello from an old friend... if you can guess which one)

It was from an old friend of mine in Canada. And yes, I guessed who it was. I must say it made my day.

 

[lisab]

That's really good!

...I make frisky you...

 

[turbo]

Evo, Claude was nearsighted and couldn't see detail well. You should have taken THIS picture.

 

[Evo]

That's perfect turbo!

I have a friend in Pittsburgh whose closest buddy out there is a well-known painter and sculptor. When he was coming back here to Maine, he asked if I wanted to meet him in Boston to view a Manet exhibition. I said "Not really, but if it were Monet I'd go in a minute" and he said "That's exactly what Nick said". Monet is my favorite impressionist.

It appears that I may have broken my right arm last night. I didn't break it in two like my left arm. I have a very painful egg sized lump on the front side of my arm just below the elbow, a minor break or crack. I guess I will know for sure Monday when I go to the doctor.

This wasn't my fault. The Evo Child likes to work out at the exercise club here because it is less crowded than the one at her apartment, and she left one of her dumbells lying in the middle of the hallway. Of course I tripped over it and sacrificed my arm to save smashing my face. All in all a wise decision on my part.

What are we going to do with you Evo? I hope its not too serious and gets better soon.
