*waves from the Texas Hill Country* [In reply to] Can't Post

For some reason, I missed that original wave. Could be the toddler I was chasing around at the time. Now he's starting high school in a few weeks. *sniffle*

What a ride it has been. Smile

*waves from North Texas* [In reply to] Can't Post

I am immensely fond of y'all, and eleven years is too short a time to hang out with such excellent and admirable fans! Heart

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow....

Generally, sandy beach = south shore [In reply to] Can't Post

North shore has less seaweed but its rocky. That is probably out by Montauk (NYC's opposite pole) or Fire Island/Sayville I think.

Took me a while to check out the other boards. Guess you were braver than I....

Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

Bounced overhead [In reply to] Can't Post

My g'daughter and I stook out on the porch and watched the storm FLY overhead. I was right at the line of demarcation with blue skies 1/2 mile to the south and dark, angry clouds to the north. Straight overhead was a blen of the 2 trying very hard to rotate. So straight east of me about is where the damage started.

Unless you count the wave pool at Oceans of Fun amusement park but really... nobody would count that.

We do have a lot of fountains though. Smile

True... [In reply to] Can't Post

I figure we are just close enough to potentially experience some damage from shock waves if the fault ever makes a big move down there.

Waves from Loveland, Colorado! [In reply to] Can't Post

Yep, that's a real place.

Speaking of waves, I've been playing with waves recently. We're about as far from the ocean as you can get, but my latest silliness has been using Paint to edit photos of our little local lakes, hiding the horizon to make them look like the ocean:

Those waves are actually less than six inches high. I also use the slow-motion feature on youtube to turn them into rolling breakers:

*waves back* [In reply to] Can't Post

It's very curious, I can tell that some of those are the small waves, but in others it's like the "real thing"! How tall is the "cliff" on the left in a couple of those?

I also got a chuckle out of the view-down-the-street ones. That really is what it looks like in my town, but with a smaller two-lane road: you see that line of ocean as you travel south towards the center of the village and the shore. (We're not very built-up along our shoreline here!)

The "cliff" is the stump of a tree, and is about two feet tall. :-D [In reply to] Can't Post

The view down the street is looking toward Wyoming; that blue line that looks like the ocean is actually the prairie.

The prairie? [In reply to] Can't Post

Oh gosh...that brings back memories of standing near Pike's Peak when I was a teen, and being amazed at how flat the land east was, and how suddenly the mountains seemed to rise out of it.

A tree stump! LOL! And in that perspective, it looks just like a weathered rock-face!

Ooh, someone could start a "Guess what this is a pic of?" thread, with "teasers" like these!

A late and rather sleepy wave from the teapot..... [In reply to] Can't Post

..in Sussex, UK. Outside the teapot this evening it is sunny and the sheep on the hill cast long shadows. Like this, in fact, though without the rainbow. And with more sheep.....
