David48 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi there Shaggy ... just wanted to share a few photos of mine that simply I just liked showing the simplicity of Farm life and the Family bonds which glue us together. It's a sequence of photos, my lady (MissFarmGirl - reproduced with her permission) riding her bike. Sister is sitting on the rear carrier ... hitching a ride up to the Farm exit. Followed by the GF's niece. Followed by the GF's aunt's grandson (it's a long story) Followed by one of the Farm dogs. Everytime I view these photos, I can't but help get a warm smile on my face ... ... call her the Pied Piper . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just trying a different method to post photos. edit: no that didn't work, have to try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just a couple of pics.....setting up irrigation for the palm oil trees. Still learning with Picasa for uploading photos, so please bear with me. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What you need to do there Raquared with Picasa, is load each picture, then either add text or just hit the space key... then load the next image. The other problem with doing it with Picasa, is a reply includes all the full images... more work on the scrolling finger!~ Sharing the trough!!!

Opps!!!! meant to say Return Key, not the space key! and also meant to add that those plastic tap knobs tend to not last long, especially in the sun, the wings break off!!! .... I find the metal "cock nams" .... better for lasting and easier to flip on or off! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisb Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Come on Shagster, post the desperato photos of that guy with the drip plugged in his arm standing outside the hospital gate having a fag.

shaggy1969 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 @ Dancealot.....I like the second photo (Nice hose), everyone standing by with their nets (or maybe that should read 'sitting by') waiting for the pond to be emptied....did they get many fish?

Is that the lovely MissFarmGirl in the last photo? It must be a great sight seeing the fish/shrimps being harvested.

Am a little jealous to tell you the truth....could just see myself on the big pond in a canoe with a rod and line. I don't have exactly the scenario you mentioned above so you have to use your imagination and meld these two images together ... and Is that the lovely MissFarmGirl in the last photo? Well I'll let her reply to that as I have to speak with her in a second. One of the Mods tapped me on the shoulder recently about posting photos of another member here on the Forum and I can understand why ... even though we are a couple. So, I'll defer to her for that. Just have to overcome her shyness ... you know what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I ask her the question you asked me and yes shaggy ... that's my other half. Also I twisted her arm to place a better photo ... but she said she was busy, so I didn't want to push it. I did notice however that she made a few posts around the Forum, and I encourage that. She's out in Australia next week ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
