Yep and it comes off today thank goodness. Looks a bit like a halo in that shot but take it from he is no angel...gorgeous but no angel.

Glad everyone liked the shots. The area we live in is growing on me but I still get my heart strings pulled when I see mountains and pine trees on the TV. Northern California was such a pretty place to live that it really will be hard to beat for scenery.

How beautiful! So lush and green. What a great place!

The leaves have lost their luster and it's turning from vibrant fall to brown, dreary winter here.

Maidei, if you do this the right way, you could enjoy summer everyplace you visit all the way around the world!

Cyclegoddess..are you ready for ms Maidei? I believe she's going to make an appearance in Canberra soon!

Let's see, will she meet the PM


BTW...the only reason Perth's so green atm is because of all the ($($($( rain we received over our winter. At least our weirs are at a nice capacity!

Can't say the same for those over east though. Bushfires are already burning in Vic

I had to look up Canberra - it looks like it would be a great place to visit. Maidei is so lucky . . . I found a picture of the bike path to Weston Creek (look! the guy's riding on the left side of the lane!) and I want to be there, right now:



And here's the Wikipedia article: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/BikepathCanberra.jpg/800px-BikepathCanberra.jpg

Does Maidei need someone to escort her round the capital of New Zealand? Happy to take her for a spin round Wellington if she's keen. Though I'll have to make sure she's firmly attached given how windy it's been here lately.

Cyclegoddess-you can still post the photos, just minimise them....Do you have Nero or Picture manager???

Pip-Millienz's organizing the NZ tour, give her a heads up.

Cyclegoddess, try Microsoft Picture Manager which comes with Microsoft Office software. There is a resize function.

Otherwise, we would be happy with your flickr link if other solutions are too frustrating for you.
