Great shots Sieg.

Nice!!!!
 

Good looking Dane .... awesome breed, my 9 year old Dane is my third Dane and I love em.

Nice Pictures you have been posting!!!!

Thank you. It's hard to accurately describe how special Dane's are, you have to live with them 24/7 to really understand. I doubt I'll be without one the rest of my life. As special as they are they deserve to live 20 years instead of 7-10. :thumbsup:

Danes ARE great! Well said .... I hope my Dane lives as long as her father, he just pasted last summer at the age of 12, she is such a great companion. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That's good to hear. I have a couple friends who have 10 year olds.........I can only hope because we are very much wholeheartedly attached to this guy.

Great looking Dane and photos Sieg :thumbsup:

That got me thinking about my dogs past and present.

Here is Sam at a local lake.

You'll notice he is on a leash. That's because he was a real liability. I found out why pure bred GS were used as police dogs. He would attack anything or anyone that threatened me. Actually he was given to me because he killed 2 neighboring dogs of his original owner.

Truly a one-master animal.

He was only 85 lbs when I got him, and when he passed away suddenly from an enlarged heart at 8, he was 130 lbs. He was fine one night and then in the morning the poor animal couldn't even walk. He passed at the vets a couple of hours later. It was devastating for me.

Thanks for allowing me to post this, it brings back memories.

We got about a foot of snow last night...



Silver Thaw reminds me of the time the power went out and I wanted to cook something... and I was pissy because nothing worked... Gwen said -- Well! Just use the Microwave. UGH....

If you didn't have so much crap in the garage --- you could park in there....




HAHAHAHAHAHAHA




Bet ya never heard that before!!

I told her if she gets a Fiat 500 I'll make it fit, but not the L model. :whistling:

I'd rather have 12" of snow than a 1/4" of ice... Ice then snow is an even worse combination...

Makes for good picture taking though.

Ya bunch of sissies!

I took well over 250 lbs. of ice off the trampoline this morning! The perimeter was 1/4-3/8" thick and 3/4" in the center.

It's now turning to frozen rain here in Portland. It's going to suck I just know ill lose power. They don't maintain the trees around the power lines around my house. It will be 50 and raining in a few days so it will be gone by next week.

Only up side I've seen is the photo ops. The rest of it (freezing rain) basically sucks! :D

A few time exposures......

Sieg, that was without a doubt one of the most mesmerizing close up shots I have seen in this thread. Leave it to mother nature to trump the many many quality rides that get posted. Nice catch.:flashie:

Look at the shapes on the top surfaces of the ice!! :hail:

Reminds me of my old buddy Stripes......

:lol:

Thanks, it's in my trophy case. :lol:

Finally on my computer at work, got a few more here!
This is a 2x4 that was shot thru a curb during the Joplin, MO tornado a few years ago. CRAZY some of the stuff i seen there!

Just some random ones I took.

Some really nice photos there Jimmy!


I love the one of the frozen playground - and seeing he blade of grass inside the ice cube... and the one of the little boy is priceless. Two cruise ships are bigger than the whole town they're moored at... too funny!

Wow Jimmy, nice! :thumbsup:

Found this on the camera today, the wife took it last week I think.

Wish this was just a bit more in focus...

Thanks guys. I like cool pics, just don't have the equipment for really good pics. All of mine are off either my phone or a cheap pentax camera that i used to have. The old chevy and rooster is from a building mission trip went on in Mexico and the other is from the MMCC a couple years ago, trying to figure out some carburator issues.

Has spring finally sprung?
