Thanks all of you

not advanced

WOW! *speechless*

Quote DBA: "Wraith: It's never a good idea to drink from a downflowing stream, creek, river, etc.... even if otherwise clean, if there's a dead animal upstream in the water, you could get VERY sick. If you know the mouth of it, and have explored it recently, it should be ok."

We live near the mountain Peaks. About a 40 min drive away. So it's mostly mountain fresh water. Or was at that time. The water was so crystal clear and refreshing, it was actually better tasting than the well water we had. It was a simpler time where man was one with the earth. For me anyways. When this river used to flow alot, we all used to get our tire tubes and float down stream to the next lil village. Nowadays we have construction almost everywhere that I can think of. And I hate ORANGE barrels! Everytime I see an Orange Barrel I want to get out of my truck and proceed to bash it and kick it. Orange Barrels are polluting my creativity! Driving me crazy. Seriously. Plus, the river I once knew, is now just a sorry little stream that will probably get your shoes a little damp. Too many people moving into my home town, too many businesses ( Casinos ), Trees getting sick probably because of the Local Lab Experiments of Los Alamos. Just everything is going down hill.

I remember back then, spring time actually had flowers blooming, Butterflies, all that spring time cheer. Now all we get is Moths, Stinks bugs, WEEDS! And this last spring was very very cold!

I know the type of area you're talking about... animals still fall to their death upstream in places like that, and if they are diseased, you can still get very sick.
Go out and sprinkle seeds of flowers that butterflies like. Make it happen. If you don't know the kind of wildflowers butterflies favor that grow well in your area, memo me with with the area you are in exactly and I'll tell you how to do it. Hey, Ladybird Johnson died this week. :( I think she was 94.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the orange barrels, but if it isn't private property and nobody's looking, get a sledge hammer and bash away if it makes you feel better. :D

Hehehhe.. Thanks DBA. But I think I can do without Butterflies. I was just making a point how things are getting worse. Although I do live next to I-25. So it would be kinda cool to see a cloud of butterflies near it. :D

And then I'll unbutton his shirt, and...oh. ;D

You blasted it outta the water (poppalagism's are infectious) Coppery and bronze shineys, for 54 minutes it's good stuff.

And just what size gun do you think this lil' bullet should wear?
(nice job on it)

Ricochet Rabbit Carried ones like this. (( Old Cartoon from the 60's ))

yaay, smileeeeyy... :D:D:D:D:D:D

:oD

Yay! Nanannybooboo I got a happy face sticker. :D

We're just starved these day's because many of the posts have been cute anime such and such, makes me want to try my hand, but I get too self concious to try, but this may be the beggining..... Who shall be next? Maybe...... a contest? No, that would go too far.

sex week!

O.O
Good job
Me likes much!!!

This has to be my favorite thing of yours so far.... aside from the beautiful nude that was placed in the Showcase recently. When doing this type of art you always seem to manage to keep what I note as the Navajo "weaving tradition" of leading us in, and allowing us a way out. It may not be intentional, maybe it's subconscious, but I always notice that and then I'm comfortable looking at it. This is an ingenious work of abstract art, and I see innumerous things in it that I could comment on, but since I talk too much, I'll just leave it at that :).

innumerous

I love that word. You get extra internet cookies for working that word into your comment. :)

I wanna happy face sticker, please. :)

I truly like this a whole bunch. Thing is, when you figure out how to "finish an emotion", please send me the instructions. I have a few I'd like to be DONE with.

(To me it looks like the tail of a tornado touching down in the middle of a wildfire in a dry pasture, and the fire is trying to "rope it off".) Deep, huh?

sounds more like literal interpretation than deep. >_>

it looks like yay

I was doing a picture inspired by a song too, but I lost the feel too quick.
Love to know what you were listening to that inspired this. Must have been cosmic.

For me, the music never lasts long enough. I still say life should have a constant, acccurate soundtrack.

I was listening to "Secrets of the Universe" by The Modern Fiction.. as you can see, I went pretty fast, listened to the song twice in that time, and wasn't thinking at all, just grabbing colors and the tools and flying all over the canvas ;) And Dave, I think Klox has done more than a couple!
