Outside my Windows I - A Magical Morning

[R9SCarry]

As I write - 3 hours to the start - we will see what we will see  

Go Steelers  

[Richard S]

Tom:

You and I were together on the Army/Navy game (I'm still in mourning over that one).  It pains me deeply to oppose you on this one.  

However . . .

[glb]GO STEELERS![/glb]

[Calvin Cooledge]

Dream on, Tom. Seattle is a nice city, but so is Pittsburgh. So
Pittsburgh wins. Just because...

Steve

Dave, I sure hope your daughter will be OK after the game when the Seahawks win.

OK guys I here you. It is easy to go with the odds makers.
I want a new team to win one.
Go Seahawks.

TOM - HA!

The Steelers did do their best to almost give it away though.

Congratulations,

Super Bowl winners in Pennsylvania.

Well, it took us about 20 years to do it but we finally got the "One for the Thumb"!  Hot damn Super Bowl Champions.  

[Richard S]

I won on the game  , but lost on the point spread  , so broke even as a result.

Well I just took a walk behind our office to walk off some lunch and figured I would bring a camera with me and take some pictures.  It never ceases to amaze me what I find back there around our little retention pond.  Here is a sample of what I saw;
Little Blue Heron


Woodstork


Turkey Vulture


Osprey


Gator (about 8 ft long)


I'm afraid the camera is an ancient relic from the dawn of the digital age, but it works ok.

[R9SCarry]

Roc - well, camera may be ancient but those pics are grade A1 - quite excellent.  

Thx for posting them.  Looks like gator was sleepy - fortunately

Edit - hey folks, a suggestion - this has been a superb thread which I reckon has provided great pleasure for many, not least me.  I do notice tho that the image burden has got to 5Mb or more - pity the software sees fit to relaod the whole thread and not just the page we are on!

That is no biggie to me but Brenden for example has one very long wait to get his look at what is here.

Suggestion - Bill - or was it Dave kicked off this thread?  Anyways - what say we start ''Outside my Windows, Part II'' - still keep the interest going but lighten the burden for a while.?

Looks to me at least, that was some fine boots, belts, and holsters resting in the grass.

First Roc - nice gator - reminds me of an old girlfriend.

Second - I think Chris is correct - the thread is getting too large for anyone without a high speed connection.  

When I started this thread I never imagined it would get to 18 pages - 268 replies - 3266 views. I meant it as a place anyone could post things that made them fill good - a place to share this with friends. Well it has been all of that.  

So as starter of the thread I would also suggest we close it and start part 2.  I will do so naming it as Chris suggested:

Outside My Windows II - A Feel Good Gathering

Just bringing the original thread to the top as we start part three.

Please post instead on:

Outside My Windows III - Around the Campfire
