ha ha joe ya cracker ..

nice car tho !

it was annie, the car was only a few years old when i bought it for $11,500.00

the A9X when new in 1977 was that price from the dealers, held it's value and crept up ever since

an average one these days can set you back about $125,000.00 

that one pictured had original panama green paint, straight as a die

sweet to drive

wish i still had it

Pimpy - your photo with the white squirrel.. I saw those recently in K-m...I thought you might like them.

My niece got it for me.SHe had to fight off two old ladies to get it   oh, they had one too, but this was the last one so she grabbed it before they could take it as well.

The woodlands theme is in at the moment so there's a few squirrel things popping up.

Boris,

I love tea trees but that tree is not one, it is a Geraldton Wax, (Chamelaucium uncinatum),  not sure if you have them in the east.

no we don't, but i have one in a pot (i think), when Mr Boris comes home i will check if it is and post a pic, it has about 5 flowers on it. well that Geraldton Wax is gorgeous.

donna,do you know what those bushes are called? we had them all over my hometown,i loved them! great flowers,and they smeeled wonderful,even without the flowers! i remember the berries smelling so good...:)

No Sin, I don't.   The people who llive on that island call them "weeds!"   

What's a weed in one place is a flower in another. 🙂

Someone online recently told me what they thought they were, but I didn't try to check it and now I don't remember what they said. 😞

(Is the photo too large?  The last time I sized a photo down to medium on this board, it was too small and the clarity and color distorted)

[sineaterdoodah]

if i'm using PB,i use the large setting,mostly,unless my own piccie is gimongous when i transfer it. that's all i'm good at there,smallering.(as my great niece says)

[donnasks]

I sure hope you're allowed to kudo more than one photo ---------cause I did.

If you're not supposed to, someone let me know and I'll kudo ALL of them so my vote doesn't count anymore.

[simone4010]

Donna, you're allowed to kudo as many as you like.

[the*scarlet*pimpernel]

Yep, you can kudos any or all photos.

Also you can remove a kudos by going over there to options, and it will have remove kudos in the dropdown box.

You won't see this option if you haven't kudoed the post

[donnasks]

Why would anyone want to UN-Kudo a post?  

They must have liked something when they first saw it.

I had wondered how seriously people are judging though.  

I hope it's not just how "professional" the photo is.  🙂

I know some of the subject matter was gorgeous when you looked at it but didn't come out in the pnoto.  One of those you had to be there things.

I have a LOT of those.  LOL

sometimes the kuos button gets hit accidently. I have trouble with it on my phone.

The clever arty photos rarely win. I think people give kudos to photos that strike a chord with them. So no, we don't take it too seriously. It's more like a treasure hunt than a photo comp. The challenge is to get out and about, open your eyes, and find things to fit the theme. The original intent of the challenge was to get people to take the time to appreciate our amazing planet.
