Waiting through the cold snap, looking out the window. Zero degrees this morning, which is very rare for Arkansas.

I love your bird photos.... especially those White-crowned Sparrows!

Rough times right now, what with cold temperatures, snow, power outages...  In-between those things, there are the few moments that we can savour.

Thanks! Here's another one:

This dove is gorgeous and this framing, so painterly.  Is it a mourning dove?  (It's got some tremendous insulation!) 

 

Everyone's photos in this thread are so outstanding--an antidote to these difficult times--weather nightmares, pandemic, or just plain winter blues.  Thank you, everyone!    ~M

Yes, mourning dove. I agree about the pictures in this thread. There are some amazingly talented photographers on here, and from all over. Thanks to all of you, and keep them coming!

Springtime in the Ozarks... My wife and I spent a few days around the Buffalo River area. Redbuds, dogwoods, waterfalls. Wonderful time.

There are many beautiful sights out there, if we but take a few moments to spot them...

It's been a while... I've missed seeing pictures from everywhere.

 

Yesterday my wife and I were out with her visiting parents. On the way home, a desire was strongly expressed to find a restroom. Though we had not planned this stop, I knew there were public facilities at the nearby T.R. Memorial Park in North Little Rock. The park is home to the Old Mill, a concrete construction made about ninety-something years ago to resemble an old mill. Its greatest claim to fame is probably that it appeared in the opening credits to "Gone With the Wind". Anyway, it was a good stop to make, as it was looking very nice in some fall colors.

Really nice looking pen set.

 

Could a picture of the nib be added? Also, what model is that? thank you.

Photos needed ?   O.K., I can help on that.

 

Here's a shot from the tail-end of a business trip of some 1,400 miles drive last month, stopping for the night at a classic Route 66 motel in Tucumcari, NM.  Lots of wonderful sights to be found if we're awake, aware, and alert...

Nice car in the included (expanded) image.

 

Buick, early 50's? 51, 52, maybe 53?

Life is about more than pens, right?

There are also cars!

It's definitely a Buick, and the front bumper had "Buick Eight" engraved on it.

 

However, I'm not knowledgeable enough on the Buicks of the era to know the specific year and model.

 

There was also a pale blue-green Hudson Hornet at the motel.    That one I know because the model type was on the driver's side door !

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
