If I were tired of cornfields, I'd have moved by now. Although I do like fountains... I've only been to Indiana in passing, is that where you grew up?

Yes, I've lived here since I was 2 (born in South Carolina).  I lived on a small farm until I was 18 and went off to Purdue for university.

I've only been through Kansas twice--but there wasn't any corn up at that time.  We did play "tag the tumbleweed" though since we were the only car on I-70 for many long stretches of it.

Here are a few shots from my recent trip to the Omaha zoo:
Black Swan:

Mackaw

Don't remember, but they're cute

I don't know what to call this, but it was much glowier than the photo shows. Wrong spectrum I guess.

I didn't do a thing to this one but resize it I swear. The penguins just came out looking all glowy.

Okapi (good catch Red Angel)

Anemone

White Tiger...Siberian I think.

Black Bear

Clouded Leopard (also kittybum)


EDIT: captions. sorry.

The penguin pic is just awesome. And what is that creature with the striped legs? Some hybrid of a zebra and something else?

Hm. It would be interesting if they could indeed recreate an extinct creature.

Tsk tsk. You haven't been around much either... but life has gotten in the way. I know how that goes.

Well it holds up under a Google image search so I'd say you're right. Nice going, Red Angel.

Seriously, Stormy, you astound me with your photography.

One picture from last summer:



OHGOD THE HAIR.

I just can't stop showing off my new camera! Besides, you'll like these...they're roses!



White first, I think:


Pink:


Red:


And Yellow:


A couple of bouquet shots:



And this one is a hibiscus, but I'm posting it anyway...


By the way, if anybody wants wallpaper, just let me know.

You're quite the photographer there, Stormcrow. We like.

I'm a little late, but here's a picture of the garden in my backyard. (From three years ago. There aren't as many flowers blooming right now, but there should be by the end of the summer.) It's not as awesome as Lady Nilamarthiel's backyard, or the garden near where Stormcrow lives, but I like it.

Ah, the sunlit garden, where the twins grew up...

And I just noticed Lady N's photo of the fountain. I'm very fond of fountains.

If I ever remember to take my camera, I'll get a picture of the fountain on my campus by the library where I work.

I should post a few of the pictures from the White River Gardens that I took last month.  Some turned out nicely, and it shows that there actually are a few pretty parts to Indianapolis.  I still prefer, nice, green, open stretches of cornfields though.  If only I could get broadband in the country around here.

O Stormcrow, when I saw the individual pics of the roses, I can't help connecting them to our dear SKU cast, like the white and pink ones for Utena like that.

Dye the roses, then
