Hi all. Here is our tropical Plumeria plant. It survived a Florida winter, has grown new leaves, and is now blossoming.

You can read more about this interesting plant here, at:

I hope that you all enjoy this, and bring on the spring weather soon for all of us.

Very nice JG, on this side of the pond those are called Daffodils - one of the sure signs of Spring.

Hi all. Sheri and I don't have the energy or strength to cultivate a large yard garden anymore. However, we swept, hosed cleaned our patio, and threw away a lot of old clutter. Then next, we started a small herbal garden that we should be able to manage on the patio.

A few images from the morning after I was capturing the Milky Way shot I posted in the astrophotography section.
I love this place! So calm, undisturbed. Not a single person around since it´s quite hard getting there.

I did this graphic for a gallery a few years ago.
It is a highly manipulated photograph of a Japanese Okimono in my collection.

About a week before my T3 bit the dust, I went for a bike ride on the trails next to the Don River, which is a stones throw from where I live. I took my camera as sometimes I see deer, but no luck on that.
I took this shot at 1PM, it was fairly sunny as well. Set the camera on a rock and took a two second exposure. Middle of the day and it looks haunted.... :lol:

All the best,
