As I sit at my computer in my bedroom on the 2nd floor, and look out the glass french doors, this is my view !

[poromo]

Well when I look out my window in downtown Brooklyn, I see a fake waterfall that someone is trying to make me believe is art! Go figure.

This is why I wanna move back to Florida ::) Pic taken in Feb of 07 after having cut a dead tree, it started snowing while the lumberjacks were cutting the tree up.

[mcelheny]

ConeyIsBabe,
Your pictures are beautiful. :bigthumbsup:
They show why I want to be a snowbird and travel alot. :)

[nitehawk]

hope you saved that tree - will come in handy for heat this winter- check out the pre bought fuel price as of yesterday it was $4.69 compare to last year of $2.59

Really nice photos. Thanks for sharing them with us. I hope you make it to The Villages soon and take many more photos to share with those of us who will follow!

... and Poromo, I've read and seen on tv the 4 "waterfalls" constructed in the East River. From what I understand, it's going to be another tourist attraction for The Big Apple ... go figure. New York does have a way of constantly coming up with things that bring in the bucks.

thanks, again, CIB for the pics.

THANKS tkret; the first club I'll join at TV will be the Photography Club, along with the Computer Club and the Singles Club!

Here's a pic of the Rogue River at Hellgate Canyon. Many famous movies were filmed here; The River Runs Wild, one with John Wayne, and a couple of others.

[redwitch]

It is absolutely beautiful where you live. Not sure I could leave there even if there is snow (which I hate). Talk to Village Kahuna about the photography club. Something tells me you two will have a great time comparing notes.

[tkret]

Well, ConeyIsBabe, if you get there before me, save me a seat at the Singles Club meetings and I'll do the same for you if I arrive first!

You'll be a standout in the Photography Club. I can see you selling your beautiful photos at the Town Squares on vendor nights.
Don't give up hope on the sale of your house....like Allen Funt of Candid Camera fame used to say, "Just when you least expect it" .

I'll lift up my very best thoughts for the sale to happen soon under your terms (or as close as possible anyway). Good luck.

tkret....... THANKS for the encouragement and "save me a seat" :bigthumbsup:

P.S. The double rainbow pic was taken in September, from my property, looking to the west!

coneyisbabe:
Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures. Isn't nature just wonderful ??
You go girl :bigthumbsup:

It was fall of 2000 when I visited NYC and, with some friends, went atop the WTC. This digital pic was taken at sunset.

[samhass]

Coney, the beauty in TV is man made. Why would you leave such natural splendor?

[ConeyIsBabe]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/rosarobin/BestSunriseDam.jpg

This is a pic of the Savage Rapids Dam. Before I purchased my property, I lived in a rental home across the road, and I walked the dog every morning at the dam! The SRD has been removed....... because it was considered a threat to the salmon.

Samhass.... you are so correct.... this area has awesome natural beauty, especially the Rogue River. The bottom line is - the long, dreary winter, the black-ice, the frost on cars & roads, living in the boonies with less choices for activities. I dunno :dontknow:

[ConeyIsBabe]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/rosarobin/MirageWalkInWoods.jpg

This pic was taken in one of Oregon's State Parks (don't remember which one). I enhanced it with a "mirage" filter on PhotoSuite4 software.

[Rokinronda]

Amazing effect! Love it.

[Blondie]

CIB,
You and Rhonda have such talent. I can tell how much you love the surrounding beauty. You are right to want to get to TV asap though, it's beauty lies in the folks who live there.
md blondie
btw I love the rainbows

[ConeyIsBabe]

Yes, Blondie..... TV's beauty is in its residents ;D

Here are the fall colors in my yard:

[bestmickey]

Your photos are fantastic. The beauty around you is amazing!

Do you have your house listed on a FSBO site? I suggest you post some of these photos, with the views you have from your house. These photos alone should make the sale for you!

Seeing the corner of the WTC building makes me very sad. :'(

[ConeyIsBabe]

Bestmickey..... thank you !

Yes, I do have my FSBO listed with several free listing sites and I have a bunch of the house photos on picturetrail - my member name is rosejolie.

My problem in selling is TIMING...... I bought high and won't sell low ! I guess I can hang in until the market improves. It's the long, bleak winter that gets me down.

[JUREK]

coneyisbabe:
Good Luck to you and continue with the fantastic pictures. :bigthumbsup:

[jerseygirl008]

CIB: Great great photos. Your home is beautiful. You are very talented. It is really hard to make decisions to move. I love in beautiful Bucks County, PA. No prettier place in this country (for it's own unique qualities). But I truly understand having to decide about the trade off: beautiful in the spring, summer and fall v. bleak and gray during the long long winter. Wish I could be a snowbird but I can't. So, I just decided to buy in TV with the long term plan of moving there full time in about 8 mths. The main kicker for me was lifestyle and the cost of real estate/taxes. Can't beat both of those in TV. After that decision was made, it was a no brainer. Hope the decision becomes easier with time. Please keep the pics coming.

Most of my 4-acres is "in the woods" where there are lots of critters, lots of deer and even a bear was sighted recently. This Bambi comes to visit every evening at around 8 pm and grazes on the tender new grass that I have been watering just for her. I took this pic yesterday as she was close to the house (I'm inside, shooting the pic through the window) during the daytime:

It was a beautiful morning and in the afternoon the rain returned and many leaves fell off the trees !

[Best Mom]

CIB,
Good Morning!
I wish I knew how to post pictures. Everywhere (and I do mean all over the world) I see beauty. I love both my homes because the life style is so opposite. Your pictures are just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[Donna]

CIB..Pics are just beautiful..Thanks for posting them!

[jojo]

The photos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

[Just Susan]

Lovely pictures CIB. Your location and photography are beautiful.

[tkret]

ConeyIsBabe ... many thanks. I wish you would post your beautiful photos more often. You have a great talent and when you arrive in TV please take my photo.....but leave the lens cap "on". :1rotfl:

[graciegirl]

Beautiful artistic quality. I especially love the New York picture with the sun hitting the side of the buildings. I love the rainbow too. I see now that you are like some of us with our sketching pencils, your fingers itch to use the camera and try to capture the beauty. You do a good job too!!

This is a pic of one of Grants Pass's two traffic bridges, over the Rogue River, taken last Saturday morning around 10 am. It's the lighting and reflections that inspired me to take the pic!

[sunflower3630]

Your pictures are breathtaking, CIB! I am so grateful that you've shared them with us. So much beauty to share! Please don't stop -send more!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/rosarobin/Nutcrackers06006.jpg

Sorry if this looks posed - cuz it is !! Downtown Grants Pass every year has a very festive holiday display with Musical Fiber-Optics and Giant Nutcracker statues. As you stroll along - every block has a different display with holiday music.

[ConeyIsBabe]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/rosarobin/rr2nutsSmall.jpg

There are several Nutcrackers on each block in downtown Grants Pass. These pics are two years old, but they are probably the same Nutcrackers and I look the same :ohdear:

[Just Susan]

Great Christmas card picture CIB.

[Barefoot]

CIB, I just looked at this thread for the first time and all your pictures. You are quite the photographer! Your home and surroundings are so beautiful.

It is wonderful here in TV, but it looks like you are surrounded by nature's paradise where you are. Gosh, that would be a hard place to leave. You will really be giving up a lot to move to TV.

Hummie taking a drink

[ConeyIsBabe]

These cute little guys usually fight over their food & territory but this time they were actually SHARING !

EDIT:
(photo didn't come out - I don't like photobucket, too tedious & too many ads - but I'll try one more time to get the photo posted) !

[joannej]

Your pictures are outstanding and a joy to look at!! When you come to TV you'll have lots of beautiful things to take pictures of. Like the others have said, hope you'll post those pictures too! Good luck selling your house in NY. The summer is usually a good time to sell in the Northeast. :coolsmiley:

joannej.... THANK YOU - I live in southern Oregon in a small rural area and homes have depreciated so much that I'm not selling now. Therefore, I'll have to remain a TV Wannabee for the time-being!!

I'm still trying to figure out how to post my hummingbird-sharing photo :o

(I used picturetrail instead of photobucket) - so much easier !!

[thistrucksforyou]

You have an eye for truth in simplicity in your photo's....Use it for the betterment of others and share...
