Hi,

Just thought we can see each others pics so we can remember better as to who is who! There are many chris's, steves etc...thats why!!
So here goes, this is me:








Kris - Downingtown,PA (S.E. PA), Z6a

Aw, no need to be shy...we're practically family here. My mug appears on all my posts, but here's a pic from last September. I was recording the progress of my seedling brugmansias - very few bloomed in their 1rst season, but were busy growing really big. I should see most of them bloom this year. (Make sure you fully enlarge the pic - otherwise it appears as if I have no eyes!) My hummer garden is back there somewhere, too.

Now...let's see some faces, folks!

Here is myself at our Mid Winter Conference in Kalamazoo in January. I'm holding the 1st place winning entry in the Buddy Poppy contest for the State of Michigan, made it myself, and I'm not the crafty person. Every year the State Auxiliry President picks the theme, and these are used for centerpieces at the Voice of Democracy banquet. The theme this year was a white bear walking, like in {One More Step For Our Veterans}, and using as many poppies as you can. I don't take pictures well but what the heck. I like the idea of seeing some of our mugs.

I am a bit camera shy, too. However, Lizette included an OK portrait of me on the following thread:

If one of the moderators can move it to the current thread that's fine with me and probably OK with Lizette.

This photo is hanging on my wall as a keepsake .

Here I am with my daughter this past weekend at Meramac Caverns in Missouri.
Notice all the native columbine in back. There was lots of it growing out of the bluff cracks and holes. It was first time I've seen columbine in the wild. This section was a little more landscaped but many other areas were not where they were growing wild. Saw one rubythroat visit them before we scared it off accidentally.

Here is our buddy Ward Dasey signing in. He sent me several pics but haven't uploaded the other three yet. As soon as I do I will edit this post and try to include them here or if necessary will add them below. This was taken last year at the first planting at Palmyra Cove. This is a rare photo of Ward so savor it LOL!

Hey Penny thanks for posting the Palmyra photos as I have never seen them before...and me being referred to as "younger" isn't that common for me anymore either ! Well I have to chime in now with my favorite Ward photo. He has become quite a cult hero on this site for good reason .. even though he is in fact a monkey in disguise. Some of you may have seen this before but here he is last fall in his own backyard jungle empire .








OK Penny , your turn ...

I'm thinking it's under Penny's Garden on U Tube...good luck!!

Thanks again Bob!!

Penny your gardens are just as beautiful as you are!! No need to be camera shy....

I have loved seeing all the photos...Thanks Kris..great idea!!

Hey, I even broke down and, with the help of Bob, posted my Summer On Steroids pic!

Great idea Kris and so much fun to see everyone. Like Penny said, we tend to have preconceived notions of what people look like and then they don't look like that at all. Anyhow, here's our photo (taken tonight in our yard---we needed a new one anyhow.) We have to admit, it's not the greatest and we are very far from young and glamorous, but you get the idea! Bob, we apologize that we could not get this into thumbnail form---Michael worked on it for quite some time and we finally had to eat dinner at 9:15 p.m. after a very long day for him at work--maybe you can help us fix it.

I´ll join the fun. Here´s one, photo a little blown out in Pasto, Colombia.

Oh I agree this is a great idea! It has taken me awhile to find a picture cause I really don't like my pics ...and then couldn't find one with me in my garden...Soooooo I finally found this one a year or two ago. It's my son Ken and I on Mothers day...and in front of the kitchen window that overlooks the garden. (Looks like my smart alecky son was teasing me about something here...but we were definitely having fun)!!!








And sorry Bob I am having trouble enough with Photobucket lately and forgot about the thumbnail...

Pittsburgh,PA/Westmoreland County

Seems like it's been a week since I've been on here. WAIT!! It's almost been a week!! Mom's Day, Mom's Birthday, Mom & Dad's Anniversary, seminar on Fireflies, TV finales, planting, yard work, more planting & still way more planting to go. (Hopefully the big storms coming this way don't do too much damage. Really thinking of running out there in my PJ's to drag everything in the garage. Not sure what I would prefer to save, my plants or my car. No room for both)

Quite a few pix on here that didn't look like I pictured. It is a very funny thing..how you perceive someone. Wonder if it would be any different if we heard voices???

Since I don't take pictures of myself with my own camera, this is the only half-decent one I could find. I always have a mouth & eye thing goin' on. This is Mom's Day last year with my two sisters, Geri & Lori. I'm in pink. Geri, in the brown, lives across the street from me. (She's the one that doesn't do any research, leaving it all up to me & then copies all I do...plants that attract, that is).

But i am going to post this shot anyhow..
there is one catch, however.

ok,Penny.. now this is how you take a photo.. you take your camera( i know you have one) and hold it at arms length..and snap the little shutter.. then go to the computer and upload it to computer ( or is it download to computer ?) then take it to photo bucket and then send it to this forum..

no more excuses.. The video clip of you was ok, but now, you have had too many requests for a photo... say, if i can do it, so can you..

Wonderful thread, and just the thing to bring me out of seclusion.







This is yours truly out in the field at North Park, video camera slung around my neck. It was taken several years ago, but I think I still look pretty much the same.

The photographer is a friend who came along that day as a "bird dog." His mission was to scare ducks up from the lake on my cue, so I could get good solid video for a painting. I have to laugh when I remember that day and our attempts to get the ducks to cooperate.

I'm not usually especially photogenic, and the smile on my face is saying "I can't believe you're really going to take a picture of me looking like this!" He did, and now I'm glad I have it. I could probably find a more glamorous and flattering picture somewhere, but this seems true to me. I'm usually alone in the field, and I think this may be the only photo of me doing this part of my work.

Oh my, I can't believe how polite all the forum folks are!
If I invited a bunch of Louisianians to paint a picture of me based on my previous posts, I'd be inundated with adjectives. Penny would be going crazy with the delete key.
Well, since nobody stepped up to the plate, I guess I'll have to do it myself.

Petite (you got that one Penny,) outspoken (DH said loud-mouthed,) flighty, stubborn, occassionally entertaining, bossy, combative....getting the picture yet? OK, I give in, here's a pic.

Thanks to my neice my camera ;eally isn't working. It turns on and then automatically turns right off again in less than one minute. This picture was taken by my daughter at her house on Christmas. I would buy a cheapo 35 mm but I know I would never take the film in to be developed.

Penny, this is going to sound really stupid as I'm sure you would know if this was the case. When my camera goes off right after I've turned it on, it means I need to change the batteries. As I said, I feel sure you'd know if that was it but thought I'd throw it out there. Could that possibly be it???

Hey Carol,
We thought of that and did change the batteries twice and it worked for about 10 minutes and then shut off again so we turned it back on again and it shut down right away.
