Rare TLCOhio Posted January 4, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Took the family to see the Rose Parade floats yesterday. Appreciate this more close-up picture that gives us a better idea for how the individual flowers make it all work. On TV, it is harder to see those "details". Show us more pictures. Nice to see these colorful floats. THANKS! Enjoy!

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 5, 2015 #30 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi! I'm a new poster to the photo board, but I have been inspired and educated by you folks for awhile now! I'd like to try to participate in the picture of the week starting right now... We spent the week of New Year's at a cabin we rented near Leavenworth, Washington. It was beautiful, but COLD!!! I spent a good half an hour trying to capture the icicles to my satisfaction, and this one is my favorite of the bunch. While I was messing around with the icicles, this little squirrel scampered up the tree right behind me. I couldn't resist taking his picture too. Welcome to our photo boards. There are lots of different threads to post pictures in. Love the squirrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 5, 2015 #31 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yes, super agree on loving the wonderful B&W picture by Dave of the cousins with their sparklers. WELCOME to upriver mama and I offer strong encouragement to post more of your nice pictures. Loved both of your pictures, especially of this cute squirrel. Keep up the good work!! Give us more!! I am not a great chef, but here is an update for our Saturday evening dining experience at our favorite neighborhood place, the Iron Grill BBQ & Brew. My cooking skills are limited to doing basic warm-ups, heating canned soup and making popcorn in the microwave. But, I love to eat and appreciate good, fun dining!! Look good and interesting? Now watching the start of the NFL play-offs. The NFL, for those in Europe and around the world, is the National Football League. They are the big-time pro's who will have their Super Bowl game on Feb. 2 while we are sailing on the Amazon River in Brazil. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio If Venice is one of your future desires or past favorites, you might look at this earlier posting that shows many options and visual potentials for this city that is so great for "walking around", personally sampling its great history and architecture. This posting is now at 45,338 views. Venice: Loving It & Why??!! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1278226 First, it was a cold draft of my favorite, Stella Artois. Then their wonderful baby back ribs with onion rings and garlic toast. The owner came by and offered us, for free, some of her home-made apple pie. Wonderful!! We shared the dessert among the four of us at our table. These pictures were taken with my iPhone, but they worked out fairly well in their quality.: Well this was not a good time to look at these wonderful food pictures. Now I am hungry and it is too early for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers: Well this was not a good time to look at these wonderful food pictures. Now I am hungry and it is too early for dinner. Appreciate these picture of the wonderful' date=' added floats from the 2015 Tournament of Roses Parade from Pasadena. But, YES, would super enjoy seeing more of the [b']"Love Boat" float [/b]that was in this year's parade. Great to see that floral display and especially with the stars from that original show riding on the float. Glad that my pictures of food made you hungry. That's a sign of success for me!! My pictures have no calories, but don't blame me for making you want to dine early. THANKS! Enjoy!

subtchr Posted January 6, 2015 #34 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I was also at the Rose Parade this past week. I was there for my job -- I am a group tour director for high school bands and choirs. We were with the Round Rock HS Band from near Austin, TX. It was a 28-hour bus ride in a caravan of 7 motor coaches from Austin to southern CA (and a 30-hour trip home thanks to icy roads covering west Texas!). For the parade, our group of chaperones and parents were high in one of the grandstands, so my photos aren't as "up close and personal" as Goofy's, but here are a few, including the requested Love Boat float: Untitled by suegee57, on Flickr Untitled by suegee57, on Flickr The group visited the float assembly tent. It smelled lovely in there from all the flowers! It was very cool to see them painstakingly place flowers and otherwise build and embellish the floats by hand: Untitled by suegee57, on Flickr Untitled by suegee57, on Flickr by suegee57, on Flickr by suegee57, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 9, 2015 #37 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Great pictures of the work being done on the floats and the Regal Princess float. On Sundays we try to watch the Regal Princess leave Ft Lauderdale and her whistle is "The Love Boat" theme as she goes by the condos. On Monday the Royal Princess does the same thing.

hamacting Posted March 13, 2015 #42 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Okay, coming late to the party. I've already slightly introduced myself in another thread on the board here, but maybe I can introduce myself further through some photos. I do a Project365 (have been doing so for a few years) so I'll try to submit one picture a week from the Project365. The full 365 is linked below, as is my flickr account (to which I also post my Project365 pictures) Okay, here's week 1 - the moon in the tree caught my eye here 2015-01-03 (Day 003) Moon Tree by atp, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
