Best Buddies by jarede

This cat doesn’t come inside often but with the colder weather i have found him curled up in a bowl more often than not…...Dakota is the gentlest and sweetest of all the dogs, and his curiosity of the cat was quickly rewarded with a swat on the nose! Just wanted to share the moment. Nikon D90 / as is featured in: As Is

Rusty pull by Simon Duckworth

Karen and I walked on Kessingland beach near Lowestoft, Suffolk, UK. On a very very cold sharp morning, snow was still about and the wind was so raw, we could only stand about 30 mins, the sea and tufts of grass were wondeful and amongst the grass we found several bits of machinery, we assume to pull up the fishing boats back onto dry land. This one was uncovered and rusting. Processed as is, nothing done to it, straight of the camera card, yes really… honestly. Nikon D200. / ISO 300 / 1/50th / f 4.5 / lense 18 – 70mm
The bolt that holds the latch by rasnidreamer

Just playing and thought this might make an interesting shot. It is on the latch of my daughters gate. It’s fun to find things to photograph at someone else’ house! I really had a good time scouting out her yard yesterday! This is straight from the Lumix DMC-FZ18

Mom? by Jody Johnson

What the.........! by maxy

This is my hubby checking out the stream which runs down Stinson Mt. NH. The formations caught our eye – sort of like zippers! This is untouched using a Cannon SX10is and as you can see the stream is between two very steep inclines where trees often eventually end up in it creating “bridges” The stepping stones apparently were in the Christmas spirit too and decorated themselves appropriately with their “zippers”! The snow is everywhere and getting higher every day helping to naturally create these odd creations!
Zippers by maxy

This stream has zippers! Although we can’t zip them up, Mother Nature can! lol! Here is a closer view of the zippers. Taken in Rumney, NH off Stinson Mt last weekend during one of our hikes using a Cannon SX10is. untouched.

TUNNELS by Erhan OZBIYIK

UNTOUCHED NIGHT SHOT / This reminded reminded me a TV SERIAL that I used to follow, ages ago… Great voice, reading a poem at beginning of it… LOVE THE DARKNESS / You darkness, that I come from, / I love you more than all the fires / that fence in the world, / for the fire makes / a circle of light for everyone, / and then no one outside learns of you. But the darkness pulls in everything: / shapes and fires, animals and myself, / how easily it gathers them! - / powers and people - and it is possible a great energy / is moving near me. / I have faith in nights. THE FIRST TIME I LOVED FOREVER / Music by Lee Holdridge – Lyrics by Melanie / Recorded by Lisa Angelle on Capitol Records The first time I loved forever was when you whispered my name. / And I knew at once you loved me for the me of who I am. / The first time I loved forever I cast all else aside. / And I bid my heart to follow, be there no more need to hide. / And if wishes and dreams are merely for children, and / if love’s a tale for fools, / I’ll live the dream with you. / For all my life and forever, there’s a truth I will always know. / When my world divides and shatters, your love is where I’ll go. MUSIC TV SERIALS – Beauty & The Beast)
Help, I'm melting! Oh what a world... what a world...... by maxy

These long and quite huge icicles were layering along the rocks and drooping down just as far as they could reach with an ice splash down off the side, these cliffs were having a great time! Taken in Rumney, NH using a Cannon SX10is untouched.
