Great shots Mel!

Took this an hour ago while taking Denis' ashes to Keehi South Lagoon.
Toby and I had a great time talking of friendship, sailing, and...
Immediately after spreading the ashes a large Sea turtle surfaced, hung with us for a moment, then split as we did. Aloha Denis!



More cool shots in this Flickr Set.

I haven't had time recently to comment every time various folks post photos, but I love 'em all!
I also haven't had time to use my camera recently, but yesterday afternoon I was watering and trimming all the plants in my front courtyard and checked out a bird nest in one of the hanging plants outside my dining room that I'd been watching for a week or so, seeing a bulbul going in and out of the plant.
I'm having trouble posting the attachment for photos, so I have to do multiple posts. First, here's an adult bulbul:

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread - Chapter 6

I saw the adult was gone a few days ago and looked into the nest and saw three small speckled eggs. Two days ago the adult was gone again and my peek showed me that one of the eggs had hatched and the baby bulbul was adorable. Yesterday, another peek showed two of the three eggs had hatched, so out came the camera. Two baby bulbuls, both less than 48 hours old, and the speckled egg of the next one:

A few more to follow...

Nah, the nest is in a hanging potted plant, and it hangs right outside my dining room window at the end of a roof beam. Easy to reach from the ground, so knowing the adult was gone at the moment I just gently lifted the plant off its hook, set it low enough to take the pics, and quickly hung it back up.
I can see into the plant from inside my dining room window and I just now looked; the adult is sitting on the nest, so I can't check to see if #3 was born yet. I'll look again when I get home from work.

A Note From Fiickr

This is for those who post embedded images from Flickr to this message board (and many others) that use [BB] code.

The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.

We understand that many people were using that link on message boards to show their images and we are working on a solution that will allow you to post using BBCode (standard message board code) that links back.

So for the time being I am probably not going to be posting any images to this thread from Flickr.

This has come about because Flickr did a massive change to their layout this past few weeks, and made a new layout the standard thereby disabling or making access to many features either non-existent or hard to find. There was nothing wrong with the original Flickr layout. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I believe if you upload images directly to this board, there is a limit of about 50 images and then you probably have to delete older images, which of course will give viewers of older messages a busted icon from the image you had previously posted.

Flickr fixed their remote posting options and added in a new [BB] code available from the SHARE menu via the HTML sub-menu.
