Actress Diana McBain, who according to two sites, was also a former Miss Glendale, California, in case anybody needs to know.
While….
Telly Savalas is playing the villain, and of course, Robert Vaughn is starrring as agent Napoleon Solo in “The Karate Killers”, a 1967 episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
All he needs is a set of bib-and-brace overalls and he’d be an old Backwoodsman explaining how you go about felling trees and what to look for when you do.
I kept thinking they didn’t look real, cos they’re round and fluffy, with short legs, like stuffed toys, and real lambs have thin wobbly legs with knobby knees.
Well…. maybe this is obvious to most of you… but i just figured it out: what looks like short legs with black feet is the just the tops of their legs. Their lower legs are buried in deep snow, and what I thought were black feet are their furry black knees.
I think they’re Scottish black face sheep, which are extra wooly, with black faces and knees.
Oh okay… They’re Valais. Very similar sheep… maybe not quite as shaggy.
But you see, I’m on a small android tablet, not a computer… I can’t right-click for info, and long-pressing displays a complicated path, starting with cleoandcompany.net/uploads/etc that gets cut off before the end with the title.
So I can’t see the actual filenames of most images unless i download them… which I just did cos you said that, so I could read it.
But I don’t download every image, especially since when I do, I find that a lot of them are only called “screenshotxxxx…” anyway.
That’s why I don’t always know what they’re called.
My comment wasn’t meant as criticism.
With my settings, I only have to hover the mouse-pointer over the image to get the name displayed.
Now that we’ve got that out of our systems, what’s for dinner?
I have some lamb in the freezer…
I didn’t take it as criticism, thanks… I was just explaining why I often seem to explain things that are “right there” in the filename… but I didn’t see it
No place is safe… a central eruption could pour lava everywhere, but even if only one side bursts, there would still be hot ash, and steam spreading in the air.
And hot mud in all directions, because the mountain is covered with glaciers that would melt.
I read that a major eruption could even destroy a lot of downtown Seattle.
But there hasn’t been one since something like 1400 CE. There were small fissures 150 years ago.

Good.

Nope. Burn the house down.
I didn’t need to see that!
I wish they made white-out for screens that would stay on the picture when you scroll.

The woman is standing between them.
Yes, yes she is… And in addition to that …
..
His name must be “Chewbacca.”
He looks so proud.
And absolutely sure it won’t fall on him.
Nature’s little engineers.
He knows the zookeeper has wired the stump to the fence…
It’s not the stump I’d be worried about.
Ready for the kill.
All he needs is a set of bib-and-brace overalls and he’d be an old Backwoodsman explaining how you go about felling trees and what to look for when you do.

Let me guess…
Missed by that much.
I’d guess, but I might have to get smarter.
99 and 86…
Behind them – Agent 13 or Agent 44?

They look like toys.
I thought they were at first!
These little guys are too cute.
Adorable.

Yes, thanks… But as I said, I usually can’t see that part of the URL until I’ve downloaded the image…
And I did download this one, just so I could read it.

“Road to Nikko” by Kawase Hasui, woodblock, 1930
The descriptions say that Kawase Hasui was known for his portrayals of trees, like these tall Japanese cedars.

In the Botanical Garden Munich, they are here:

find the fish
I had to blow it up.
Well, I’m glad you left it intact long enough for me to find the fish.
Those guys look more like quadripuses than octopuses.
I’m assuming “fish” is singular, cos I only found one, but it can be plural, in which case I missed some.
That’s right!
Okay… This is cubism.
Weeping Woman, by Pablo Picasso, 1937.
Recognizable by all means, too.
He was a posterior orifice, but still a genius.
that’s a nice way of putting it
Probably someone he abused.
It’s a portrait of Dora Maar, his partner at the time, as were most of his portraits….though she hated his portrayals of her.
He was also still legally married to someone else, and tried to make them jealous of each other
Big Boom!
Not for 150 years or so… but I was just reading that it could happen again, and if it does, could be twice as destructive as Mt. St. Helens.
Should we hope that it blows on the side away from the city?

Seattle, with Mount Rainier.
at first glance , I thought it was Tokyo with Mt. Fugi
Both tall volcanic cones … but Mt Fuji is shorter, and Tokyo is way bigger.
Mountain Gorilla
Some of his work made me think of Maxfield Parrish.
Walter Crane was a very talented artist.
It’s too bad that book illustration seems to have waned as an artistic calling.

Beautiful… but I’d be too dizzy to read by the time I got downstairs.
“Ummm…excuse me please, but where’s the elevator?”
As you wish…
