3. violin

[DarkTirade]

5. Is it my imagination, or is the neck on your violin unvarnished?

Looks like it in that pic... just wondering because mine is too, for whatever reason. And so is my little sister's. And up until now those two were the only ones I'd seen that had unvarnished necks. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. It is...

I think simply because the varnish would wear off with all that shifting. I don't think I've ever seen a fiddle with a varnished neck; but I may be mistaken.

[DarkTirade]

59. That's odd, because I've never seen one unvarnished other than yours and the two I mentioned. :P

Most of the other violinists I've known can never play mine properly because there's more resistance than they're used to and they can't shift properly. :) I only noticed that my little sister's was like that when she was having trouble figuring out a bit of shifting and I showed her how to do it. Then I realized her violin had felt normal to me, it wasn't all slippery like everone else's.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. is that tiger maple?

beautiful.

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Maple on the back and sides,

spruce on the top. :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

39. It is beautiful --

really lovely.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. Thanks!

:D

[reyd reid reed]

21. That is a beautiful instrument...

I'm jealous.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. The maker is still alive...

http://www.andreaviolins.com/

Mine was made in 1992.

[reyd reid reed]

49. I used to have

my father's. I don't know what happened to it, but I've heard rumors that the bow is hanging in a music shop in town.

*sigh*

I'd love to get that instrument back.

[reyd reid reed]

4. Family.

And, of course, my Cubbies

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. I adore that picture!!!

yep. Gotta love Family :loveya:

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

61. So they say...

as families go, mine's not too bad. Close enough to be there for each other, not so close we're tripping over one another.

Except on holidays when they're all in my living room.

:P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. That's a beautiful pic!

:loveya:

[reyd reid reed]

62. Thanks.

I'm rather partial to 'em. This is the closest I've got to a 'family portrait', even though there are a few people missing. This one has my father, both of my brothers, all five of my kids, my SO, my oldest son's SO, my nephews...I think that's it.

We left the cats, rodents and reptiles at home, though.

[SOteric]

6. I love my cat. He fills me with joy

just watching his fuzzy little butt zip around the room.

And I love my sweetheart, who fills me with joy in other, less printable ways, and makes me laugh until my sides hurt.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. He's a cutie!! Now about that cat --

You know how we love our kittie pics around here:D

[bicentennial_baby]

7. husband.

:)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. Of course you do!

Even without the L :D

[bicentennial_baby]

31. I'm used to it...those were only for public conversation...

He's always been lower case in private :D

[Arugula Latte]

8. husband, kids, kitties

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. You are blessed in abundance!

:hi:

[Maestro]

9. Family of course

And my birds as well.

Here is a Loggerhead Shrike for you.



And probably something you wouldn't expect, but I love extreme heavy metal, death, sludge, thrash, and especially prog metal!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. Your family is gorgeous. Thanks for the Loggerhead Shrike.

And you keep all the metal :D

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. Great pics!

Your little girl twinkles! :hi:

Somtimes I think all the answers to Life's most difficult questions are right there...in our children's eyes. :D

[Inchworm]

13. Morning Dove

:loveya:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. I always thought it was a Mourning Dove --

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mourning_Dove

The Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) is a member of the dove family Columbidae. The bird is also called the American Mourning Dove, and formerly was known as the Carolina Pigeon or Carolina Turtledove. It ranges from Central America to southern Canada, including offshore islands. Many individuals in northern areas migrate south to spend winter within the breeding range where January temperatures are above −12° Celsius (10°F).

Habitats include various open and semi-open environments, including agricultural and urban areas. The species has adapted well to areas altered by humans. The bird is abundant, with an estimated population of 130 million birds. In many areas, the Mourning Dove is hunted as a game bird for both sport and its meat. Its plaintive woo-oo-oo-oo call is common throughout its range, as is the whistling of its wings as it takes flight. The species is a strong flier, capable of speeds up to 88 km/h (55 mph).

Mourning Doves are light grey and brown and generally muted in color. Males and females are similar in appearance. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time. The species is a prolific breeder, and pairs will often have several broods per year. In warm areas, one pair may have up to six broods a year. Mourning Doves eat mainly seeds, including those of both native and introduced plants.

[av8rdave]

77. Thanks :) Have had a lot of great trips on that bike!

[stuntcat]

42. my cat Tonka

He's 14 now and morbid as I am I'm already freaking out and wishing he'll make it to 24. I've heard of that happening and there's no better cat for it to happen with than Tonka. (There's other stuff of course-husband, family.. but Tonka has a huge heart for such a little animal and I want him to live forever.)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. awwww -- He is gorgeous

:loveya:

[TexasBushwhacker]

76. Hey, I had one live to 22 ....

and to tell you the truth, I never gave her any kind of special care. She got cat food from the supermarket and annual visits to the vet. As she got older, she got a little arthritic and I set up a heating pad set on low and covered it with a towel. That was HER SPOT and she spent a lot of time there. She also got a little hard of hearing the last year or so and she would "yell" at me when I got home from work. She was really in perfect health (other than being old) until the last couple of weeks of her life. Then her liver started to fail. Death was imminent, so I had her put to sleep in my arms.

[SarahB]

48. Babies and lovebucket. nt

[From The Ashes]

50. Family...

Except for you know who. (hint: Asshole in the middle)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

54. yep. You have a lovely family. Of course there is always one in

every picture. I think you deserve a good old-fashioned --hug--

[From The Ashes]

56. Thank you...

Here's one back...

;)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

58. cute. Is that your family?

[From The Ashes]

64. The lady and the horse?

Nah, it's just some random hug pic I found on the internets. I used to give it to a very special friend of mine, but I haven't seen her in a while. So I thought you'd like it.

[jgraz]

52. Birdie

[Tuesday Afternoon]

55. does he eat crackers --

:D really though your birdie is purdy :loveya:

[jgraz]

57. Yes, but he prefers nuts

He also likes birdie cake

[Tuesday Afternoon]

60. looks like blueberries

I got bit by a bird once at a pet store. It would not let go x(

Hurt like hell :D

[jgraz]

63. You get used to the biting

Gnocchi (my bird) doesn't bite that hard, but my girlfriend's bird can do some serious damage.



We still love him, though.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

65. nipping is one thing, but this one developed lockjaw on my

finger :D

he finally let go when the clerk distracted him. The tip of my finger was numb and it was a deep indentation for several days.

I have a great respect for birds and more since then.

[jgraz]

66. Heh. These aren't puppies or kitties

With a parrot you're basically dealing with a wild animal who doesn't particularly understand (or care) that biting hurts you. They bite at each other all the time in the wild and just get a beakfull of feathers. The whole skin concept is new to them.

These guys can be the most loving and affectionate companions, but there's always an element of risk if they get startled or upset. I'm thinking of getting a T-shirt made that says "Proud Parrot Owner -- ask me about my band-aids"

[Tuesday Afternoon]

67. Yeah. I don't know what I did to startle or upset this little guy.

Might not have been anything. Could have been something else going on in the store. You should get that T-shirt, maybe on the back put a picture of your birdie. That would be cool. :thumbsup:

[stuntcat]

70. he's beautiful

The picture's funny of him, how he's standing! He looks like a good little guy.

[jgraz]

80. He used to sit that way before his wings grew in

When we got him he was badly clipped. He actually fell a couple times and cracked his beak. Now that he's fully flighted he's a lot more confident about his balance.

For example:

[Wapsie B]

69. self.

It all starts from within.

[Pierre.Suave]

71. I love many things, but ...

right now I LOVE my Fiance more than anything...

I also have family, and friends but right now, nothing tops my Fiance. :)
