hmmm... Westworld, here we come! 8O

There is one thing I would like to suggest and I am not addressing any one person in particular:

We are what we speak.

When you address someone or comment on their posts, think about the words you use, words like ‘rant’, ‘seige’, ‘attack’, ‘snipe’, ‘hostile’, and ‘antagonist’.

When we use negative words, we create a negative mindset for ourselves even though we think we are applying them to other people. If we use words of war, we shouldn’t be surprised to find ourselves at war.

Eric, no, we have not just seen the darkest hours of the forum, though if you feel you have been on the ‘hot seat’ it may seem that way. These ‘dark hours’ happen with remarkable regularity, only the names change from time to time.

I also do not direct this to anyone in particular but, very early in my participation I complained about the tone here. I was given a piece of advice by someone still here (does he remember the conversation, I wonder?): If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the forum.

As some of you have probably noted, sometimes I’m gone for a while.

Eta Carinae.

In the Hubble WFPC-2 image it looks like the brains of Siamese twins joined at the head. 8O Periodically my husband will show me a picture of it and say "look honey, it's your favorite object", just to watch me shudder. Funny guy.

Nice photos, Ron! I like the back-lit trees on this one. Both pictures have a nice 3D quality to them.

Superb! I hope to get to Turkey Run someday. Thanks for posting. I haven't totally given up film either. What did you use for this shot?

(p.s. how's Milo? )

Looks like it was a beautiful time of day. Beautiful shot, very nice composition.

Both of these are really nice, Jeff and James. The out of focus background really makes the butterflies stand out. Both have really beautiful color combinations as well. Just lovely!

Very nice! I had to look twice though - the sumac look almost like palm trees! I'm looking forward to visiting MI in late September. It's always nice to see the sun setting over the lake for a change.
