In Flippin Arkansas I believe.......that's where the world famous Ranger Bass Boats are made!

You are correct sir.

While I was on holidays in Western Australia, I took a picture of a lake that is a little different.

Interesting ...

[philco]

Grant is the water as pink as it appears to be in those photos ?

If so, do you know what gives it that color ?

As Royal said, "interesting".

[jerryd6818]

Phil, follow the link Grant posted. It tells you all about the pink color and what causes it.

...wow, that's very interesting!!!..... ..........

I think the breast cancer research people could make some excellent video/commercial/appeals for funds there.

Of course, if they wanted pink water, they could do it with computer graphics.

Lol, you boys go ahead and laugh about the Monroe Co., KY Flippins - but I married one.

My wife's grandmother was a Flippin - they are descended from Isaac Flippin, who died in Monroe Co. KY in 1845.

I don't doubt it Unk. Everybody down there has a dog that run across somebodies back yard at one time or another.

If Gary hadn't fooled around and killed himself this might still be in use.

Here's a pic of Eilean Donan Castle I took while on vacation last week!
This is the most photographed castle in Scotland and it is easy to understand why.
While we were there a wee bagpiper showed up.

[Just Plain Dave]

Canada eh?

[philco]

Blue that must have been an amazing trip. Love the castle pics.

[jerryd6818]

Blue, you've pushed my envy button.

Yessirs, trip of a lifetime. The wife and I were celebrating our 31st anniversary. We went to Ireland for a few days, and then hopped over to Scotland for a week. The time we spent in Kintail was the highlight of my trip. First the castle, and then we spent a day hiking the "Five Sisters of Kintail" mountain range. The trail goes along the ridgeline over five mountains. I will be a real grouch back at work next week...

Always wanted to go to both places--I'd still be there drinking the beer's my wife would never be able to get me back on the plane---

[rangerbluedog]

This one's for you, Pigsticker. Check out the creative names for the local brews listed on the sign.
Here's a shot of the streets of Dublin, on the way to the Guinness brewery.


While in Dublin, we also went to the underground crypt at Christ Church Cathedral. There they have the mummified remains of a cat and rat on display, found in the tube of the church organ around 1860. James Joyce mentioned these critters in his book, FINNEGAN's WAKE.

One more with your kind indulgence:
The city center of Inverness in Scotland. That is River Ness, which flows from Loch Ness.
There are a lot of big brown trout in the river, but I did not see the Nessie in the lake.
My hotel is the first building on the left in this photo.

Blue, you keep posting them as many as you want. We are currently living vicariously through you.

That last pic is a beautiful spot to be staying at--I'da been drinking me a pint of that Headless Dog Ale for sure--me and The Blonde One would never leave I think she likes her beer more than me---

[rangerbluedog]

Alrighty then. A couple more on the trail.

My lovely and patient traveling companion

Yes, I will make it!

Two more from Inverness. There really are bagpipes around every corner...

Pipes and bags

Inverness Castle. You can't go inside - unless you are a criminal.

Orthodox religious icons are one of many things I collect.
