The Hall of Fire

Oh, those are pretty! Where do you live, samaranth? It's obviously not Ohio!

Brian, thanks for the links. :) (And your avatar is creepy and cool, all at the same time. :shock: ) Love the pics of Scotland and of the redwoods. :love: Here's my contribution for the day. I took this at my in-laws' house. I really liked how the colors were so vibrant, and I liked the little honey...

No Lali, I'm not prepared to fall on my sword either. :) It just looked like his style rather than Dali's. I should research before I post. Like that's stopped me before? ;) I just accused Dali of being a serial killer or serial killer wannabe. I think I should have researched that a bit more caref...

Is that Dali? I suspect it might be Clovis Trouaille (I havent Googled it and might have his name wrong) who was keen on decadent visual puns. That skull seems to say more about the Romantic fixation of Death and the maiden. Well, it was on Wikipedia as belonging to Dali. A Google search seems to c...

Thanks, yovi. :) I liked some of Dali's paintings before I watched a documentary on his life; it's been a long time since then, so I don't remember the details very clearly. What I do recall is that he obviously had some issues with women, as evidenced by some of his paintings of them (that I find g...

I love art. I don't know if I could pick a favorite artist; I tend to like someone from nearly every genre. I'll freely confess that I'm not a huge fan of modern art. Some of it is nice, but I don't like Dali. Maybe it's because I know he was probably a serial killer or serial killer wannabe, but it...

That is interesting, hobby. Perhaps that's why I don't like most popular adult books. :D I rarely read fiction anymore. Most of my reading is non-fiction. As for when I was a child, I don't know. I guess that I read quite a few contemporary works, e.g., Judy Blume. I was a voracious reader, so I bas...

That's a gorgeous shade of blue, Voronwë! Do you know what kind of flower that is? hobby, that's a very relaxing picture. I understand what you mean. :) Here's one I took at Rocky River MetroPark, near Cleveland, Ohio. I feel like I grew up in this park. My parents took me here all the time when I w...

Sorry! I killed the thread!!!

Please ignore the last few posts and resume discussing!

Wow! Those are all just absolutely gorgeous!




Lali

Oooh, that's beautiful!!!!




Lali

I find it harder in RL, unfortunately. I am a natural-born flirt and find it hard to keep that in check.

I know it's possible, just difficult.

Oooh, poetry!!!! So does anyone else do this incredibly geeky thing? I bought the most beautiful journal I could find (the first was an Anne of Green Gables illustrated journal, the second is a reproduction of the Book of Kells), and I copy into it my favorite poems and quotes. :love: This includes ...

I know what you mean about baring your soul in a way here that you can never do in real life. Though I have been blessed to have real life friends who share my inner passions, who understand the whole Anne/Tolkien thing, there is still something different about being here. Perhaps it's the fact that...

:love: :love: :love: Anne! Oh, how I love these books and this character!!! I remember my best friend introducing me to them when we were about 11 or 12. She and I both have red hair, and, if for nothing else, we would have loved Anne for that. ;) But, of course, there was much more to love about he...

They are pretty and remind me of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. (Alas, they don't grow wild in Ohio. We had some growing in our front flowerbed when I was growing up in northern Ohio. Orange. I like the pink variety better, though.) Is it an altitude thing, perhaps? Or maybe it is a soil thing. ?...

Welcome, everyone!

And, yes, I am swooning (BIG TIME!) for that avatar, Pearl. I swoon for Anne!!!! <runs off to check literature thread for discussion>


Lali

Oooooh, all 3 of those are gorgeous! My two favorite things--water and trees!

Sassafras, thanks! I love your sig pic; where is that?

vison, Good one!


Lali

:oops: I don't know, vison. This was actually depressing me yesterday. I was thinking that I'm definitely doing too much, at the expense of my family, I'm afraid. (I was having a bad mommy day.) Eh, I won't get into it more here, but it was definitely part of the reason I was down yesterday. Anyway,...

Thanks, guys! :) I don't normally like nature pictures with man-made structures in them, but this one reminded me of Rivendell so much I didn't mind. I actually think it adds to the scene. :love: Too soon for another one? :D (Yet another rhetorical question.... ;) ) I also took this one in Hocking H...
