    @shiney ~ :love30: Are YOU the photographer of this image!!?? OH MY SOUL! NO WAY!!!! You have just blown my mind. I was on reddit one day in the photoshop thread and found this image. It was love at first sight and I cried and I cried and I didn't know why exactly. Something about it hit me so hard and I just knew it was time for me to just STOP. It said 'you just stop now FloraPie, everything IS worth it.' And when someone else re-arted the image and created what you see in my avatar and gave it out free, a few said 'wallpaper!' and I said avatar! AND OF COURSE SHINEY, NAME YOUR PRICE :spinning:

    And THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

    If I go to that album of yours and it contains images such as this, my heart will just burst :thud:

      No, unfortunately it's not mine. I just have it stored on my computer as it was with a number of pictures that were on open internet with no credit or copyright. so you can take that from my post if you wish. If that doesn't work then I can email it to you.

      I might as well post the other 'sniffing photos' for you. :dbgrtmb:

          I have about 85,000 photos on my computer (most taken by me) and know where almost all of them are filed. :blue thumb:

            @shiney I hereby charge you with the loss of my nose, but thank you!! :grphg:

            No need to have the images on my computer thanks anyway. Just as long as I can see them and I can see them here. Do you have an album that's exclusively yours? And then you'll have to tell me the story behind each and every one of them :imphrt::hapydancsmil:

              How many decades have you got? :heehee:

              Some of the 85,000 photos are family or Mrs Shiney's hobbies. Most of the rest are of our garden, or gardens we've visited or of our holidays.

              Most of the holidays are of a scenic, cultural, way of life or wildlife. :noidea:

              Typical Australian pictures :rasp:

                  @shiney ~ See that kangaroo.. I have them in my garden every day. They eat my grass and keep me entertained. I just happen to live along their daily route to the creek :snork: It's often that my vehicle needs to stop to wait for them to hop out of the way. Today is the day that I check out your albums! :hapfeet: Thanks for the Aussie pics :blue thumb:


                  @"M" ~ It feels like I've found my long lost family!! :heehee: Thank you for your welcome :SUNsmile:

                        They're standard issue with the "Special Jacket", Anthony. You should know as we sent you the extra secure one's with the triplet locking system.:coffee::snorky:

                              @FloraPie do the kangaroos sleep in your garden? :)

                              I don't actually have any 'Albums' on GC but I do have a series of travel threads. They're here:- Shiney's Travels

                              I've been very remiss in updating my promise to keep adding countries to it. Still another 50 to go!!! :noidea: :doh:

                              One of the problems is that we are kept busy preparing for our Open Day each year. The event gets bigger every year (almost 500 people turned up last year) and we get slower at doing the work in the garden :old: :)

                              The invite to this year's Open Day will be posted next month (just got the entertainment to finalise) but both Zigs and ARMANDII have booked their B&B already :hapydancsmil:

                                The amount of work, effort, organisation, and thought that goes into the Open Day is quite staggering. Shiney let me help him a little by transporting tables from the Village Hall to Shineyland and that left me out of breath. Those of the GC Gang that have attended the Open Day will agree with that a Good Day was had by all on each of the Open Days. I don't often hand out praise but I have to "take my Hat off" to Shiney, Mrs Shiney, all the volunteers and the all the Singers and Musicians that give their time and produce to the running of the whole Show.

                                Shiney taking the money:snorky:
