Charlie and the Nature Factory [Warning: Stunningly Beautiful Large Photo Images]

^ Yes.If Charlie is the mascot of this thread, I think Tidbit is the mini mascot.
I'm not liking the new PB upgrade either. :/ I tried to go back to the old one, but it won't let me.
Have you tried selecting the option that reverts back to the older version? That's what I did, which instantly changed my account to its previous settings.
Looks like you really ruffled that osprey's feathers, SK.
The bird was hungry and wet and miserable and might have been sizing me up while wondering if I taste like fish. He'd flown back empty-taloned from a long, fruitless search for food in which he may have dove twelve or more times before returning for a rest. That might explain his dire expression, and how he didn't seem to welcome my presence at the time.
(The osprey is a he, btw. Adult females sport a darker band of feathers, shaped similar to a necklace, along their upper breasts, while males have mostly white coloring in that area.)
Yes, it is. And hilarious, too.Very cute, PD...
I ordered my new camera today!
It's about time! Feel free to flood this thread with nature shots as you practice with your new outfit.

Glad you liked 'Santa Tid'... he says "Have A Tiddy-Bitty Christmas!"
Yes, I tried that when I went in there and saw that they had changed it all. I flew straight to the change back to the older version, but it didn't do anything. Maybe it froze or something.
I'll try again the next time I'm in there. It seems to me that changing something that already works never seems to be for the better. But I don't like change much. Takes me long enough to figure it all out the first time. 
I'll try to snap some shots whenever it finally comes, but with my current work schedule (overnights) the only nature I'm seeing is on TV. I'll have to start filling the bird feeders to attract my feathered friends.It's about time! Feel free to flood this thread with nature shots as you practice with your new outfit.
The weather is supposed to be in the 80s through December -- which means I will be seeing ALOT of Tidbit
It's suppose to warm up here, too! 
high 60's. Though there's really nothing to see unless you guys want pictures of cows. :/

Don't want to see pictures of cows after you're through with them.
Oh my, Fenika... do you know how long I'd have to stand out in the fields staring at...cows to get a pic of one of them frolicking?
There's not even any calves around this time of year. When I was little I liked watching them because I thought that they were always happy since their tails were constantly wagging. I'd point out the car window and yell "Happy cows!"

Well, yeah, that would be a mess and probably not very appropriate for the nature thread...it would be nature at its scariest.
I accidently stirred Tidbit up a bit. I was feeding him Harvester ants, and then he wanted to go eat other things, so no photo today, but he's out sunning his little self

Finally!
Finished that drawing I mentioned I was working on a while ago. Took me a long time to draw it. Of course, no matter how I try to capture it, either with the camera or with the scanner, it never looks as good as it does in real life. It always looks slightly blurred and the fine details can never be captured. Anyway, here it is, the ruined church of Zelemér, Hungary, the only thing that remains of the medieval town. I added the black vignette border when I edited the photo (slightly).

Yes, and I can see why it took so much effort to execute. Great stuff. Thank you for sharing it with us, Tep.Beautiful drawing, Tepelus!

And they don't have to frolick to be photogenic!

Thanks, everyone. I think if I can get my boyfriend to do so, I want him to build me a light box so maybe I can get better photos of my drawings. I have a tripod somewhere in the house for a camera which will help too if the thing were sitting steady and not in my hands.
Awesome drawing, Tepelus! I can see the hard work and time you must've put into it, and I can imagine how many details are in it that we're not seeing. But what I can see--is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Here's the original photo.
I took out all of the footprints in the snow because I didn't like them in the picture, and I changed just a couple of other tiny details because I didn't like them in the picture.
Also, sorry for the size of the picture, I tried to shrink it but Photobucket isn't cooperating.

Thanks, night-flyer. I did put all sorts of hours into this thing, cutting into my writing time. I was planning on finishing up the first draft of my novel by the end of this month, but, eh, that's not going to happen. lol!
I always feel more of a pull towards drawing/painting as winter closes in...not sure why. If you're like me, art is just as important as writing, sometimes one takes precedence over the other, but that doesn't make the other less important. There's a time for everything.
Now I can't decide which one I like better, the photo or the drawing. They're both equally moving and stunning in the mediums presented.
That size is fine for this thread, and bigger still would be acceptable, so long as it fits inside the original post window without stretching it beyond its normal width.
So not only are you a hell of an artist, you're a hell of a photographer too. I'm in awe.Here's the original photo.

Mind you, I'm in awe of most of the rest of you too. You peeps are loaded with talent. Don't mind me but I'm just gonna roll around in here for a bit.
