cool Sea. i wish i was an archaeologist. 
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

Well, yeah MM, they actually have dinosaur digs here in Inverloch (where I live). They found here the earliest known jawbone of a mammal! Wacko! There are tours here during summer, when they do their digs on the beach near Eagle's Nest (a well known landmark here). There are other dinosaur digs around Australia, but given we're the earth's oldest continent, there's not heaps of dinosaur bones to find lying around.
As for the river, Balon...it was only that one occasion. We had unseasonable rainfalls. It was just constant light rain, however after a day of that it started running down from everywhere and reaching the river. The river rose about 1/2 a meter over the course of a couple of hours. Luckily it didn't rise overnight...when we would have only realised once we'd started floating in our tents!

Oh no, they've compacted R2! The bastards...
But I agree, Sorus, the sculpture is terrific!
Sorry, Balon, but I couldn't get your photos to load. I've noticed some of my thumbnails from the last couple of pages have gone AWOL as well. I don't know what's going on with Imageshack, they had been a pretty reliable service up to this point.
Anyhooo...way back last year I posted a pic of bench by the river in the summer. This is a shot of the same spot taken earlier this April:

Actually, Wyl, all the ice and snow have gone now. We're having a warm spring so far. Nevertheless, why on earth did your friend choose Winnipeg as a honeymoon destination?? She's crazy, you're all crazy!
Here's a camera "accident" of mine that turned into a neat photo. I had just pressed the shutter and then turned away from the scene, only to realize that the camera was still taking the exposure when I was moving it. The result was an artsy streaking effect that I really like:

And she didn't stay in Winnipeg the entire time! They started in Saskatchawan and then went to Winnipeg, and then to Thunder Bay. As to why, the bride has been to Canada twice (with me both times), and though the groom had been to Europe, he had never been to Canada.
Also, bride and groom planned the honeymoon back last August when it was blisteringly hot, so I'm sure that Canada sounded nice and cool.
The crazy couple drove up there and back, and spent 10 days doing it. They arrived back home Sunday night.

This picture was taken a few months ago, catching the sunset in my car's side view mirror:
This picture is of a survivor. Years ago, I planted a row of tulips. This is the last one. Year after year it comes up, having survived all kinds of strange assaults.

Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.
