We had them growing in some of the ponds around our farm, including 3 of them along a gravel road that ran between two sections of our farm. My youngest brother and I would take the fluff and make these HUGE (to us) mountains in the middle of the road, then hide in the ditch, waiting for a car to go by. Somehow, the fluff never quite exploded all over, like we expected it to. LOL<BR/><BR/>We never thought to eat them, though. The first I heard of that was from some TV show that had a city dude showing how to cut up the rhizome for eating. I thought that was the silliest thing. *L*<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing up some fond memories!<BR/><BR/>A.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578914430461497502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-37854420836914477772008-07-31T21:45:00.000-07:002008-07-31T21:45:00.000-07:00MESSAGE FOR JIM --I got my submission into the con...MESSAGE FOR JIM --<BR/>I got my submission into the contest, and I'm absolutely sure I'm going to win, so the rest of you guys needn't even bother (LOL)...

(I used to spot her occasionally with a kid in tow at Safeway)<BR/><BR/>And yes, I guess they used to be one happy family, and I saw them once all out walking around on Laurel Grove... (I often take Laural Grove to avoid traffic in the Kentfield (college) area... Sometimes while driving down that street I like to pretend that I'm rich enough to afford living there... (oh, money isn't everything, I guess)<BR/><BR/>--And yeah, that Canon5D with the big lens is heavy alright... When it first arrived I thought it was going to be a big problem, but I quickly got used to it, and now I think that the extra weight actually allows me to steady the camera when hand-holding it... --One thing about the 5D -- it's NOT idiot-proof, and I'm a qualified idiot at times, so I need to pay attention to what I'm doing when using it... --The thing about the 5D is that it has a "full-size" sensor, meaning that the sensor is the same size as a 24x36mm piece of film... Most all other cameras on the market use only a half-size sensor... And yep, the 5D (and that lens) co$ts a bundle, but I think it is worth every penny!AphotoAdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581940419934089601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-77127868296379497182008-07-31T12:35:00.000-07:002008-07-31T12:35:00.000-07:00I forgot, does Sean Penn still live in Ross?

I didn't know you call these "cat tails" . Can't even remember the last time I saw some! You mentioned Ross, and this gave me a craving for a long bike ride like I used to go on in Marin. There are some pretty cool mtn bike trails (all levels from beginners to advanced) behind Ross, although I completely forgot how to get there now. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I looked up your camera; the body alone weighs almost a kg!! Add the lense(s), the bag you undoubtedly carry around all the time with extra batteries, filters, flash, etc... pfeew that sure is a lot of weight!!!Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-41826971528497808192008-07-31T09:06:00.000-07:002008-07-31T09:06:00.000-07:00THANKS KLAUS AND MARY for your kind compliments on...THANKS KLAUS AND MARY for your kind compliments on the photo...<BR/><BR/>You and the others may be interested to see how I used it on KittyBLOG last week -- the URL is:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.pestbouncer.com/k080724.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.pestbouncer.com/k080724.html</A><BR/><BR>Anyway, this is a shot that I wished I had not left my tripod in the car... That darned Canon5D with the 70-200 "L" zoom lens is heavy enough, without having to pack that darned tripod along with me every place I go... Fortunately, I think the image-stabilization feature on the lens helped me out quite a bit, but I'm glad I didn't need to stop the lens way down for this shot or I may have run into trouble... (I always try to use the low ISO of 100 to keep my noise down in case I need to make a large print in the future)<BR/><BR>But getting back to the scene, this was, indeed, a pleasant place... It was before 7AM, so the throngs of joggers and bicyclers were still in bed and I had the place all to myself -- except for the birds and ducks... <BR/><BR>Phoenix lake is a great spot, and I have only been there a few times in the past 40 years -- it really isn't far away, but once I get there it feels like a very distant place, indeed... <BR/><BR>The long hike around Phoenix lake is usually sufficient, but on that Saturday I felt compelled to continue my walk and take the steep, very steep, fire-road up to Lake Lagunitas... Once I got up there I was completely worn out, and couldn't find much to photograph -- but I guess I needed the exercise anyway...<BR/><BR>Time now to get off my butt and go take another walk -- this one at Roy's Redwoods -- a place I've been neglecting recently... But of course, before I can do that I'll have to get this darned Kitty off my lap... (every time I'm about ready to get up, she settles in)<BR/><BR>Best regards to all, <BR/>Don, and of course, KittyAphotoAdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581940419934089601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-22150133157868177802008-07-31T08:19:00.000-07:002008-07-31T08:19:00.000-07:00Yeah, they don't look all that tempting as lunch, ...Yeah, they don't look all that tempting as lunch, but it is a terrific photo! :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-53174046991957246822008-07-31T05:43:00.000-07:002008-07-31T05:43:00.000-07:00Good one!
