And your Friday Photo Inspiration...
I read this week that Apple was the biggest. And very cool photos. Very green.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great links! The photos are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics! Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThat Apple fact is amazing!
Nice fotos. Also, cool that India can now read more e-books!
ReplyDeleteGreen photos- I get the impression you are trying to make the summer last longer... :)
ReplyDeleteLove them, the trees are so beautiful and I like how they weep.
Ooooo! Two green tree pythons. Cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane .. I really can do without the green tree coiled pythons - they really are not my favourite creatures .. green dripping primal growth is fine ... without the additives ...
ReplyDeleteWe're into primal growth here - straight down rain! I'm grateful ..
Thanks for the update re ebooks, Amazon, Apple et al ... always good to be reminded of what's going on around us ..
Cheers Hilary
Oh wow! Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteI translate books to large print and braille for the RNIB in the UK and it's one demanding job.
I prefer real books to Kindle, though I can see the immediacy of eBooks.
The fluffy kitten always works on me.
ReplyDeleteSummer, I didn't realize until I had them all together that there was so much green.
ReplyDeleteHilary, we've had rain all day. Cool rain, which is better than warm, humid rain.
Maurice, I love fluffy kittens!
Did you take the photo of the moss covered tree in the PNW? There's a lot of that around here.
ReplyDeleteI don't like how Amazon has the stats combined with the US though. I'd rather see them separated.
Very cool pictures. I heard about Apple, as I charge my iPod. Does anyone not have one of their products?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Interesting post about covers.
ReplyDeleteThose tree photos are inspirational; especially the first one.

Thanks for the links. I stopped working in a college library around about the time they were looking at getting more text books in digital format (the two weren't connected!) The new head librarian doesn't seem to be a fan of books and wants everything in ebook format. I hate the idea of going that far though.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, btw, but not to much the snake!
Great links! Definitely checking some of them out. Love the three tree photos.
ReplyDeleteThe snake just gives me the creeps.
;-)
I've seen a snake like that, can't remember where. Great pix.
ReplyDeleteM Pax, yes I did!
ReplyDeleteSusan, in the US, I imagine it's a rare household that doesn't have an Apple product.
Annalisa, especially when there are still so many issues.
You had to throw the snakes in :)
ReplyDeleteEewww.
Now I'm going to read about covers.
Hi, Diane! Thumbs up for fluffy kittens.
ReplyDeleteThoses pics are great. Lots of green. : )
I love the green snake. So cool. Creepy, but COOL! Hope your Saturday's been great. =)
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. I'm off the read the one about covers.
That's fabulous news about amazon selling ebooks in India! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteJai
Love the snake. I knew about India, but a little surprise about the Apple.
