Dan,
Cool avatar, btw. Did you choose to pose beside the "Danger, High Voltage" sign, or was that serendipity?

Choice - I was working on a new poetry chapbook for Lulu.com entitled "High Voltage" - www.lulu.com/content/387802 - thank you for asking. I like yours, too - and notice the rotations. Love the outdoors stuff you bring with you. Dan

Ken, I noticed that you changed your slogan/ signature to read "reach out and remove a tire" didnt it used to say "reach out and touch a rock" ? Right-on!

'Elle - is that a field of jonquills you're sitting in? The pic reminds me of Dorothy in the field of flowers in Oz a little, pretty cool.

Aren't you a smarty-pants! LOL Yes, they are Jonquils! A Classic & Beautiful flower. These were found in a park I love to go to, in a historical district I used to live in. The Historical society rules state that only certain classic kinds of flowers can be planted in these areas, and some, such as these, have been there a long long time. They are fabulously vibrant!! The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite all-time movies, as well.

Elle,
Jonquils, huh? I've never seen one, it might be too cold up here for them. Do they have a nice fragrance?
Yeah, my new avatar shows me and my friends Ian and Donna posing with our haul of tires removed from a local stream last summer. We go out on Saturday mornings and haul out tires from the river and send them for recycling. It's actually a lot of fun, we mess around in boats and see big birds, including eagles, osprey, herons and if we're lucky, cranes and peregrines. We hauled out seven tires that day. But there are still some left.
It gets addictive quick!

It is a terrific cause that provides great motivation to BE OUT THERE, at one with nature! Awesome!! Jonquils... they may be member of narcissicus family? They kind of look like that. Yes, they smell lovely, but once picked (like to bring a few in a vase) they don't do so well, lasting only a day or two. So, they belong in nature and I go to them.

Way to go, Ken. I am all for cleaning up after ourselves.
'Elle - we have jonquils at the Morton Arboretum about 8 miles from our house - they are lovely in spring. That's where I knew them from.
