Re: My PUG runner-up

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Very effective image;  I like the fog bank, but the two couples in the
right part of the image balancing each other really make it special.

My PUG runner-up

[Rick Womer]

I wavered about which shot to submit for the “Marine” PUG; the Exeter shot won.

This was the runner-up; a bit of the Maine seacoast, from 15 years ago:

(*istD, DA 16-45/4)

I have a couple of Neewer quick release plates for Arca Swiss that are 
not quite compatable with the Feisol version of Arca Swiss.


Look here:  https://flic.kr/p/2kHWfRV

Anyway, I'm asking the price of postage for them.

Re: March PUG is up

[Stanley Halpin]

Thanks Brian for redoing the gallery with Bill and Rick’s submissions; they 
both fit nicely!
And thanks to all who viewed and/or commented on my Penguin shot. I have 
another taken within a few minutes of this which has two penguins, arms 
(flippers) raised high as they run toward the sea. Titled "Surf Is Up!" in my 
mind. It was a close call which shot to post this month…

I particularly like Rick’s Exeter shot, and I thought Bill and Paul and Don 
nicely worked around the handicap of their distance from any ocean.

I was disappointed not to see at least one shot of an actual Marine in uniform.

Amazing. Wooden tulips from Keukenhof consumed by deer.
You could try steel tulips.

Here they are used more in early spring than at Christmas time.

Just looked up what paperwhites are and found that in German they're
called Weihnachts-Narzisse... christmas narcissus.

A bit late, isn't it?

Re: PESO: Paper White

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Larry.  I knew I could count on you!  I'm too old to force my
tulips on anyone.

Paperwhites are the traditional bulbs for indoor forcing.

I Love tulips, but usually buy some potted from our local nursery for
Easter and Mother's Day.  At our first home (after the MOQs) we grew quite
a number and variety of tulips along our front walk.  That was in a more
developed part of town, and before the local deer herds exploded. We
planted lots of them when we moved here, but tulip flowers are the absolute
favorite  food of deer, and they made short work of them.  I even tried
planting a few behind the fencing I use to protect our few rose bushes, but
that resulted only in a battered fence.

Years ago, we went to visit the explosion of spring bulbs at Keukenhof, in
the Netherlands.  What an incredible display they put on there!  We joked
at the tulip bulbs they were selling, referring to them as "deer food."
They also sold unpainted wooden tulips, and I decided it would be fun to
get some of those to sick in the ground and amaze the neighbors.  I bought
a dozen, brought them home, mounted them on 1/8 in dowels, painted them
bright spring colors, and applied two coats of varnish to make them weather
resistant.  I "planted" these wooden tulips along our front yard, to add a
bit of color where there was little after daffodil season,  The next
morning, all the wooden tulips were lying scattered on the ground.  The
deer, tempted by the shape and colors of their favorite treat, had bitten
each off, and then of course spit out the inedible wood.  That is how
strongly they are attracted to tulips.

So now I enjoy a few hothouse pots of tulips, indoors, each spring, and
remember my wooden decoys.  But for indoor forcing, paperwhites are both
traditional and easier.
