wow a bread machine!! Brings back some childhood memories to me
I remember my dad had such one in the 80s and the bread he made was sooooo yummy and indeed it was a lovely smell in the kitchen
I begged him to do more breads but he havent done for massive amount of years

If the machine is still around you could try it yourself. With today's premixed bread
mix it is really easy. Later on this week I'm going to try again, this time with lots
of sunflower seeds (love those) added extra to the bread-mix. Oh, and some oil
made out of the same seeds for the bread didn't stay fresh that long.

I doubt its still around and if so it doubt even more that it will work but my dad lives far away from me anyway
I have just about been there and I cant just pop by to borrow it, if I dont wait another year or so
But you honestly inspired me to get my own machine, it might be worth it
Me and my husband use to complain on the breads here anyway and buy the best ones in a special shop...
And yeah of course there will be a photo if I run this idea in full
And I hope to bring on more photos here I have just been too disturbed about the copyright and wanted to create a watermark
but I dont get myself to do it as it require some time...

a photo of a bug I took the other day, the sucker was BIG, anyone know what kind of bug this is? I am not very good with knowing my bugs This bug has some major pit hair, and I think he needs to wax his back?

^ Looks like a dragonfly to me. I don't think it's a damselfly because its eyes are close together and its wings aren't folded. Then again, I don't know much about insects either.
I love dragonflies; they're so pretty.

@Xalepax: Like the clouds, very atmospheric (er, no pun intended!). Also glad somebody bumped this thread.

Nothing artsy here, just the view outside my window. Vineyard & tractor belong to my neighbor. The thing behind the tractor blows lovely clouds of pesticide everywhere.
Ok, this one's artsy. Can't remember if I posted it before; apologies if so. Taken in the bay area a long time ago.

Awesome photographs folks. The dragonfly is beautiful also. Love the creature and I'm in awe always encountering one. Magnificent and graceful. Total control in their ability to fly.... um, not so the butterfly. They seem rather clumsy in flight but beautiful too of course.
This one (pic's shot in my garden), I think it's the 'Vanessa cardui', is sitting on a the flower of a 'Echinacea purpurea' or a purple coneflower, I think it's called. (healthy butterfly, probably)
