Jana, thanks for the info on Tantau's Nostalgic series. I'll take a look at Piano. I actually also got a Chippendale this spring, and mine has not bloomed yet either, so I guess we can compare notes later this year. I also remember looking at Heidi Klum, so any more info and pics on yours will certainly be appreciated. Princess Alexandra of Kent is not that vivid, but of a deeper pink with a very distinct smoky salmon tint, quite nice actually. Lots of petals in nice formation, it looks superb when it slowly unfolds. It lasts quite well on the bush and in the vase too. I really like its scent, old rose with tea, I'd say. Young Lycidas is of a very vivid color, but I'd put him more into the purple-cerise group. Toward the end his huge blooms fade into a nice soft mauve. And the fragrance is really superb. Claire Austin, now that's a very very vigorous, extremely healthy rose (basically no BS in my no-spray garden), and a very good bloomer too so far. Looks like it wants to be a climber. Its flowers open light lemon fading to white or cream white, with a complex myrrhy scent, not too bad. It blooms in clusters and the blooms are very cup shaped. It's pretty, but I think it just looks a little pale somehow, perhaps because it doesn't quite have the radiant quality of say, Margaret Merrill or even Fair Bianca, and the blooms tend to not quite fully open, staying cupped pretty much until the petals drop. Currently, mine is a tall arching shrub (in its second year with me), but I think it'll look better with some support as a climber, perhaps next to a dark red rose like WS2K. Anyway, so far it has proven to be an excellent garden rose, so I can certainly recommend it. Roselovr, sounds all very good, especially if you're already familiar and comfortable with Nikon and perhaps own some Nikon glass already - did you get the D5000? We'd certainly love to see some pictures! Andrea

With Windows XP you can resize your pics by right clicking on the pic, go to Send To and select Mail Recipient... You will then have the option of making your pic smaller... It will come up as an Attachment in an e-mail... From there you can drag the Attachment to another folder or your desktop then delete the e-mail. If you are using your cell phone to take pics to post on the internet make sure you turn off your GPS first !!!... There are bad people out there who can retrieve the GPS coordinates from the pic and find out just where the pic was taken, down to the room in your house! Hugs, Rita

Yes, I too, would have said it might be some type of lens problem, and it also has a 'bent' look to it, but I flipped it on purpose...as a 'Test' to see what kind of responses I might get. I will have to be more specific the next time I do a 'test'. Thanks All, for your responses! Kt

here's a formula that works fine; omit the two a's that I inserted , and leave no space ( if I don't break up the formula, the formula shows up a question mark ?) so it should be then "your picture url pasted here" then > as for the url you use, if you right click on your picture, you should get a drop down menu that gives you the option "open in another window", that would be the url to copy and paste. try practicing in the Test forum and see if this works. Here is a link that might be useful: Test forum to practice at

The photo is lovely, but the problem is that you can't have a moon that full so close to the sun! As the setting sun is going down in the west, the full moon would be rising in the east. And it even looks like the little shadowed side of the moon is facing the sun - again, that just ain't right.

Thanks everyone for your compliments and responses.

Solstice98, you are correct. The moon is in the wrong position, and for sure in the wrong position to be almost full. In that area of the sky, it would probably not be visible at all.

Solstice...with a name like that, You should be really familiar with the (night) sky. Summer or Winter Solstice?

Yes, I have been trying my hand at "cutting and pasting". It only took me about 30 minutes to create that picture. I will get faster...I hope.

You did a great job with the color matching around the paste. You can't see a seam or blurred edge at all. Nice!

(Summer or Winter? Both! I've always been a sky fan and received my first telescope when I was 10 years old. Now I'm reading up on astrophotography and looking for a connector so I can use my camera on the Questar 'scope I've got.)

Thanks, Solstice98. Like I said, it only took me 30 minutes(LOL!).

We've watched star-filled skies here since we were kids. I guess living in the country, away from city lights has it's advantages. I still know most of the constellations, and keep up with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, & Saturn. Uranus and Neptune can sometimes be seen.

I bought an adaptor for my Canon A-1 so that it fit my spotting scope. 15-60X, anything stronger moves too much without a motor to follow the movement across the sky.

Several galaxies can be seen, some with the naked eye, and there are still some comets visible now with scopes.

There won't be another major meteor shower until the latter part of April. OK! I'll stop, but I could go on and on and...
