There is a deadly silence emanating from across the Atlantic. Could it be a result of the deadly horse meat attack or an as yet unreported meteorite that left a large hole in what was once Europe?

Could also be a North Korean high altitude nuclear burst which took out all internet and computers with EMP. As a side note, I would also suspect digital cameras with batteries installed would be having their lens caps firing off like canons.

o.O:baffled::baffled:

:rofl:

Well I am still here, letting my galloping dinner subside, Tesco cheap and cheerful minced ??? meat pie.

Have a warm glow from the nuclear deposit's just up the coast from here, The astroid wizzzed past while we were chasing our galloping dinner. Not tried the camera but 4 of the computers seem OK.

:devil:

so wrong ,we have actually had a rare event in the u.k ,two days of fairly good sunshine ,i have over a thousand shots to go though and probably delete 959 of them .actually not had light levels this good since october time can't believe it and i actually got out and done some gardening today as well .

now that brings me to something thats bugged me for years but never thought to ask it .in the u.k we have houses ,small ,medium ,large etc the one thing in common is we all have gardens ,so when out there working we are gardening

now in the states your back gardens are referred to as yards ,so when your working in your back yard planting flowers etc what are you doing is it called yarding or some other weird name ??????:-O

Their yards are several square miles so its called ranching! :lol:
Gardening ..... Gardening leave is another thing..... What is it called in USA ?

Well my builders finished putting in the new windows to the apartment where I have my studio/dive training school, reading room and computer room. So today joy of joys I spent the day hoovering, dusting and rearranging my stuff back to how it was ten days ago before they started.
So to coin a phrase ... I am knackered! Or is that completely burgered ? Nay, nay, neigh!

So glad to see European photographers are ok.

1000 photos Jeff, I hope they are bird photos and you will share some of your usual amazing shots.

Yards and gardens. Very complicated issue Jeff. I suppose it can change drastically by what region of the country you live in. Now, I have a front and back yard. I suppose the parts where there are flowers and ornamental shrubs, etc. could be called a garden. The yard is grass (not the type you smoke) but little green things that sprout up out of the soil.

I have to say nothing about a yard or garden is inviting to me. I call it all WORK. Left to my own devices, I would have the entire thing covered in astro turf and plastic trees that did not drop tons of leaves each year.

I admire folks who like to garden or work to make a beautiful grass yard/lawn. Damn another word - lawn. Forget it Jeff - it's just indescribable!

I love the French word Jardin, seems more attractive and less harsh than yard or garden.

My modest 'garden' is really a 'back yard' because that's what it is but I can't bring myself to call a beautiful landscaped garden a yard.

A yard to me is where you buy building supplies or a concreted area where a farmer would keep and feed cattle, a back yard is a small paved area behind a house where the bins are kept for the rubbish.

its the d300s with a 300mm f4 plus a 1.7nikon t.c .i really love this camera the depth of the RAW files is astonishing .i still have the d7000 but the wife uses that mostly with the tokina 80-400af lens .

if it was a choice of having to sell one the d7000 would be the first to go ,although technically its a better camera it doesn't have the oomph that the d300s has ??????

Robert I think if I remember correctly that Yard is a corruption of Jardin. 

Nice picture of azaleas or are they rhododendrons (too early for rhodos I think, they always used to flower in late May early June when I was a lad).
