Thanks!! I was down the Cape all weekend....nice to be home & all un-packed!

I really appreciate the nice comments, thank you! Ginger, I use the macro setting on my camera...I'm not all that knowledgable on all the settings & such, I use automatic mostly and I always shut off the flash.

Thanks you guys..

Thanks all......glad to be back here & back to "normal" (whatever that is!!) lol

Thank you all for the nice comments! I love photographing flowers. lol @ iha

I've been gone for a few weeks....was having some personal issues & just didn't feel like doing anything. I'm doing much better and wanted to come in & say hi......I took this of me a few days ago, I like the way it came out. Hope you're all doing well....I posted some pretty flower shots in the members photos section....the photo bug has bitten me again!! lol

Hi everyone...I got my "good" camera back from the hospital...yayyy!! I LOVE these pale green orchids.....I'm gonna incorporate them into my next tattoo. Happy Spring ladies & gents!!

Once again...great pics Sabrina! ... love the boots!

My answer is similar to Synirr's....when the man I love and have the highest regard & respect for...more than anyone else over the course of my entire life...told me he loved me, that was the best compliment I have ever received.

.....and a PURPLE one at that.....very rare!!

Oh my.... I just got home from work and have been catching up. Thank you all for the positive comments, I appreciate them. I took the picture down only because it was mentioned by another member and I DO care about perhaps offending someone....I don't feel like a hypocrite at all....I don't think that picture (or any others I have seen here) were in bad taste, I would never have posted it if I wasn't "covered" in it. ....I find Gene offensive...period. In my opinion....I thought his pics were gross (I am not impressed by his size....and he's not the biggest I've seen - in person, lol) ...they were skeevy and without any artistic merit...his comments were rude and degrading, in my opinion...and yes, he did mean to post that nasty pic in my thread because he quoted my entire post, pictures included, in his post....it wasn't an accident.....he stuck it in my "A couple of pics" thread.....not the other thread, with the picture I removed. ...and yes, a big spread-eagled gap shot of a woman would be equally offensive to me especially if it were followed by a commentary similar to Gene's. I don't come in here to look at his pictures, lol....in fact I scroll real fast by them so I don't have to see them again, lol....I am just interested in what others have to say on this subject. I don't have any apology for Gene...I stand by what I posted earlier....gross & ignorant. I agree with this 100% Jack.....those pictures (Gene's) are not even CLOSE to the same category as ANY of the other's I've seen here. iha.....thank you, that's exactly what the picture was....since I was THERE (lol) I know it wasn't an act of violence....I knew that the hand holding that knife would never hurt me....but the cold steel felt good and knowing that it came from that big blade was a turn on for me...that's all it was...BUT I can see how someone who WASN'T there might see it in another way, I hadn't thought of that....and that's why I removed it....no biggie.

For me it was the two combined...and the fact that he posted one of them in one of my picture threads, made me wanna pull my pics & run....and him calling Synirr a jerk when she was pretty cordial to him....everything about Gene just rubbed me the wrong way. The reason I like this site and the people here is because it is NOT sleazy, at all....this is the first real encounter I have had with what I consider sleaze here (I realize everone's sleaze meter is different, lol...this is obviously just my opinion). I have been here for a little over a year and I enjoy visiting & seeing what people/regulars are up to....I appreciate the friendliness, the tips & articles and the general tone of TT.....if it were to become overrun by "gene types"....well, I think that would suck, it would ruin a good thing ...again, just my opinion. oh....just for the record, I removed my blade picture...I apologize if it offended anyone, that was not my intention. It really didn't blatently show anything (the panties & the knife were 99% blocking the view) ...which is why I decided to go ahead & post it....I'll be more careful about posting in the future.
