Spring Fever

I think we need to get out and greet the spring.

So I will put up a free knife from our next release for the Dog who takes out one of their ScrapYard knives and snaps a unique picture of it in action.

Each submission will be reviewed by the ScrapYard staff and a winner will be chosen on May 1st. This is subjective so any picture can be submitted (keep it clean). You are more than welcome to submit as many pictures as you would like.

Now get busy and have some spring fun

Dan

This could get interesting!

Hmmmmmmm - this could be the chance for me to get my first DAWG from the store!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea, any hint at when the next Dawg is going to be released and let loose!?!?!?!?! Im dying to know Boss.

I agree, the Dogs can be very creative

Dan

Dan, im already thinking about ways to win... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

any thoughts??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

in action???
so it has to be doing something right?!
alright... I think I can win this.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

(I love how I automatically ask about tules and stuff without even thanking you or anything)

thanks Dan for the gracious give away!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
now time for me to get to thinking!

Dang, wish I had a nice camera. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm gonna have to see if the corner drugstore has any more of those disposable digital cameras I've been using. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Alrighty, how about I slather myself with honey and wait for a bear to attack me armed only with my YKCG?

Yeah, that should do it...

Thanks Dan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

What a cool way to celebrate spring. I can hardly think of anything more fun than running around the great outdoors with some Scrap Yard Knives and a camera. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Look out neighbors... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

At first I thought Gravelface had it sewn up with his picture of cutting "Big Al's" umbilical cord, but he used a Busse Combat knife, NOT a Yard Knife. Whew!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tom.....it would have been mine....I might go scout around the Hospital and ask the expecting mother if she doesn't mind me doing the same!?

It does deserve an Honorable Mention at least! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

couldnt have said it better myself...

I suggest a handicap for us non-professional photo nubs. As an example, my photo only has to be 1/3 as good as Ted's or Mike's to win. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Jason - I could go along with an honorable mention! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

this is good I need to get out there

I'm guessing you don't mean the next release of DMDC at $79.95 correct?

You could really put the hook in us if you let us know it would be something totally new and different. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Appy - ANY Scrap Yard knife is worth the effort !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, that's true. But I just luvs me some details. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I hear ya' ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So, where do we post our entries? As I am alone, it is hard for me to do the pics "in action". But when I think of action, I think of chopping and splitting with the ultimate big knife, the DFLE.

The DFLE chopped down this dead pine tree.



And split this fire wood over at the fern stump.


Well, it does at least look like Spring. The rain has brought the wild ferns back.

very cool contest Dan!!!

Horn Dog,
You should win...well just because. I don't mean to thread drift here, but do you ever sharpen knives for forum members?

UNIQUE vic.
it has to be different, or creative.
this is going to take some thinking....

When I think of spring I think of flowers, so here is one of some Daff's, out of our garden, cut by my Mrs using my Mutt....

I then went for a hike and took a few of some wild flowers....

Yes!!! And bring it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmnnnnn??

Thanks Dan!! Would you like us to post our photo in this thread, or would you prefer that we email them to you?

Hmm, I think I should be able to think of something...

This may be the stupidest question you've ever heard, just to warn you, but they DO have to be SCRAPYARD knives? not other busse kin?

and +1 on the email/post question of JetPackMonkey's

Grrr!!! I don't have any Scrap Yard Knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Looks like I'm out on this one.

It'll be interesting to see other people's pics and ideas though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Score a couple at OKCA this weekend and you and cloak will be back in the game.

Don't have any money at the moment and Cloak's gonna be busy so he can't get to the show. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> (I'll be there mostly fondling and taking pics of the new releases and other knives)

Well, this isn't a once in a life time opportunity, is it Dan? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> So we can probably wait. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Though, thank you Dan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

More to come,


Peace.

So, since the contest seems to be intending to get us outside do only new pictures count as eligible? Or, can we post older pics too since you said "any picture can be submitted"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

hmmm... it does say 'snaps a pic of it in ation"... which I take to mean like...
currently.
but then it says 'any picture can be subjected" so...
idk.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'd try it. All they can do is not pick it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> nothing to lose, something to gain.

LOL, you're killing me. I am sure if you used a rock and a stick it would come out perfrect.

But remember its all about the unique context of the subject...my best attempt to sound like I know something about photography...ok I failed ....just send pics

Dan

I really like your pics too. My favorites right off the top of my head were the angel sculptures and the wierd clear yellow berries

Its not so much photo quality as it is the uniqueness of the subject...ScrapYard Knife in action in a spring setting

Dan

Great pictures and in the spirit of the contest.

Thanks for stepping up

Dan

Well done...very springy

Dan

Please post them to this thread

By the way, Welcome to the Yard

Dumpster Dan

ScrapYard all the way

Dan

Now we are talking, Dog's POC is on the juice for Spring <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Make them fresh and new like this spring

Dan

Ok, that's what I assumed, but I wanted to clarify. Cause Pop posted some older ones, and if older ones were allowed I sure had plenty on hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Obviously, I will not check time stamps. If you have a a really cool picture that you think can win... then post away. There is no down side



I have a cool idea and I will try to post the concept this weekend although I cant really win <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Dan

When does this contest close??? If it can wait I'm sure I can come up with some pics of me running around the floor at Blade this year, being chased by security......waving around a big ole Scrap Yard chopper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Or, was this suposed to be good public image photos? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Springtime in Missouri and the Forsythia is looking fine!



My wife had to raise me up in my tractor's front loader bucket to trim more ice damaged branches.



The DogFatherLE was perfect for close in trimming!



Clouds kept blocking the sun, but the DogFather chopped on!



These branches were a little lower, so I only had to stand on my tractor tire.



A little bit better picture.

More pictures to come......

P.S. If the last two pictures look like I'm laying down on the job, I'll try to fix them tomorrow - (stupid photobucket !) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Ok, well I'll go ahead and add some. Since I'm not on dialup at school, I'll go ahead and re-upload them in higher resolution so they at least look nicer.

Nothing like a guy chopping branches with two 9" blades in each hand and a .45 on his hip. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

And 10+ feet in the air no less! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Nice pictures Andy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

and dont froget the cigar in his mouth <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Actually guys, it's two 10" knives and a .40 S&W on my hip! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Other than banks and courthouses, my pistol goes everywhere with me. Love that CCW license!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How about some Spring time Snake Charming ?

Or a little Elf visiting !!!

WOW!!! Great pics everybody! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


PK, I almost mistook you for Mel Gibson from Road Warrior up on that Tractor with the DF's and that pistol on your side! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I noticed that too, are you always packing when you do yard work?

A little Fuzz stick work....

JB - yes I do! Mowing my SUBSTANTIAL yard, cleaning up storm damage, whatever. I even used my DogFather to help my wife dig up some daffodils for transplanting - pictures later tonight or tomorrow.

Jeff - I bet you didn't know that I am Mel Gibson's short stunt double! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Nice snake, Pit...I'd like to see more snake pics too!

That thing poisonous Pit? According to this reptile/amphibian museum I went to in Costa Rica, all snakes with the 2 large scales on top of their head are poisonous. You seem like a sane person and don't look very worried about it so maybe my information is bad. I'd probably leave it alone anyway though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> My dogs don't have that much sense though and if it went for them I'd have to kill it.

alright... I have a little something up my sleeve...
something that none of you have ever seen before... that I've never posted pics of.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I feel pretty confident....

that may be true in costa rica (although i doubt it) but in north america there are only rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, copperheads, and coral snakes that are venomous. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> pit's in good shape there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

hehe I was also told when I was little you could tell if they were poisonous by they way they swam, either flat or with their head sticking out of the water. I grew up around VA Beach so we had plenty of water moccosins(same as cotton mouth I think) and non-poisonous water snakes too. a few copperheads, and supposedly some rattlesnakes and coral snakes, but I never saw any in 10 years there. Sweet pic Pitman <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's just a harmless garter snake; he has posted those pictures before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

hahaha... yeah, we've got all kinds of "anti-snake" advice and scare tactics that get thrown around. regardless of one's personal beliefs, let's presume that human evolved with venomous snakes. well, then it would make sense that those with a healthy fear of snakes would live to reproduce, and possibly pass on that healthy fear of snakes. if life really started in africa, this makes a whole lot of good sense... have you ever met a person who was naturally unafraid of snakes?

at any rate, i'm not arguing anything but that there is a TON of misinformation out there about snakes. but you're right, water moccasins are cottonmouths <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Non-venomous true, harmless....well you had better ask pit Jr about that as it took about 10 minutes before he could get one to let go of his hand !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

This one is poisonous. A Texas Coral snake.

ahhh yes the classic "is this snake gone kill me?" question I rember it going something like this

-If red touches yellow you are a dead fellow.
-But if red touches black you are all right jack.

Coral snakes seam to be very slender and skiny

"red and yellow kill a fellow" works without fail in north america, but not in the tropics or south america...

coral snakes are actually, possibly, the most toxic venomous snake in the states. they have a NASTY neurotoxin (as opposed to hematoxins(?) in rattlers, copperheads, and cottonmouths). to be bit by a coral snake would be horrendous, but they are actually very docile animals and because of their size, would only be able to get their jaws around your pinky, nose, little toes... so they don't pose that great a threat to adults.

nice pix ksjumpmd!

I always heard it as: Red to yellow, kill a fellow, red to black, venom lack.

red on yellow, kill a fellow
red on black, friend of jack

I don't remember why the king snakes were so good though. I guess they kill pests like ladybugs do.

just noticed that coral snake has the 2 big scales. maybe they said all poisonous snakes have the 2 big scales, instead of all snakes with the 2 big scales are poisonous. You are a WildMan KS! what are you doing with that thing? scary as it is, I don't think its any match for that dogfather, long as you've stayed away from the JWB

darkaether- the coral snake is an elapid (family that has king cobras and mambas) and one of the key features of elapids are the large scales on their head, not to mention that they are all horribly venomous. this doesn't fit for vipers, who are also terribly venomous, but tend to have small head scales, like this guy:



i think that you were probably told that piece of information by someone who only had half the story. you can certainly use head scales to tell if a snake who looks an awful lot like a venomous snake is venomous or not IF you know the scale patterns of the venomous snake.

there's no hard and fast rule here.

OK I just back from a hike and took a few more, these pics are so fresh you should be able to smell the pine needles !!!!









I just wish I had another dog to show as well instead of my beat up DM all the time !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Your pictures are terrible, pitman. I think you should delete them immediately before Dan sees them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think all yours should go first Vic because everytime I read one of your [censored] reviews I end up wanting another knife !!!! LOL !!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Hey Pit, I'll loan you another Scrapper, if you'll go take some more of those great pics and let me take credit for them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds tempting !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Dan did ya mean this kind of Spring fever ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Reminds me of the old Beer Hunter thread of olden times (last Spring). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Dan I mean't to say this before, THANKS for this compeitition, it gives me a chance to take pics of my knives and be able to justify it to the wife !!!!

Anyways I thought I'd head to the beach today to change the scenery a little...


Sorry about these two pics they are a little Crabby !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

great pix, pit!

I love those crab pics!! It looks like the crab really likes your DM.

These look like "Embrace the Mutt" pics to me

So whats the price Dan ? I would like to see next blade !

If you ever find a crab that can wield that DM in his claw....RUN! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Great pics Pitman! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

You need two! I never thought someone would one up this:


However crabs using DMs in a fight would ROCK! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Dan
Seems you and Patti know how to treat us dogs right.

Here is a little Sring action, battoning with my DM....

I usually use a slightly larger blade for this but the Mutt does just great on the smaller section wood !

Within minutes I have all the kindling needed for Mrs pit to get the fire going tonight.
If you look carefully at this last pic you will see a knot in the wood just above my DM, when my knife hit this and stopped I just smashed it through and there was zero damage to the edge.

Excellent chance for all, I'll try to get some pics of my Dogs as well!!!

This is a representation (unique !) of Springtime in the Ozarks -

Lightning Fried Modem ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Here I am, performing the coup de gras' with my S-6. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cool...High rise chopping...its got to be a first. Keep up the great work on the pictures

Dan

[quote]Ok, well I'll go ahead and add some. Since I'm not on dialup at school, I'll go ahead and re-upload them in higher resolution so they at least look nicer.




Great pictures, cool one with the tulip

Dan

Nice pictures...not sure how you did the picture with the door

Dan

The doors are real and are scattered around the forests on Saltspring Island.....they are a strange bunch over there !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

In my area one plant that signifies the onset of Spring is Skunk Cabbage so when I went for a hike today I figured a pic would be appropriate for this thread....

Another pic from today....

And finally this shows just how desperate I am to get my hands on another ScrapYard blade because I am now sat nursing about 20 itchy wood ant bites, what was I thinking ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Ps. the DM escaped unharmed !!!

Here are some run-of-the-mill photos.....










[img]http://www.hunt101.com/data/555/20559joe_041807_018.jpg[/img]

Nice pics bro, those swampwardens are growing on me with every pic I see !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice pics Joe! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The pic with the YKLE, S6LE, CGYG, and CGS6 with the M14 is sweet (is that an M14?)!!!

it's a SOCOM sharp.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
roo has some sweet toys.
how his godzilla claws can operate guns... escapes me.

Took a long walk on the other side of my island today. I carried the YK in my horizontal Rainwaker sheath.

Who says a four inch blade can't chop a little?

I went on another hike today and thought I'd snap a few more pics for this comp,the last one is taken with a Deers skull that I found down on the beach !!!


This is my favourite...

Pretty pictures guys! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yes, great pics! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

WOW!!! I just took a few pics myself, but I'm just not sure they really compare. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I think I'll try to take a few more tomorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yay SOCOM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I was gonna guess it was a SOCOM after seeing "SOCOM" on the upper receiver but I wasn't sure.

I mean a SOCOM is basically a shortened M14. They're pretty darn similar.

Oh and EMF, don't be dissing Godzilla's might claws!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

pretty much.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

and it's great to here from roo, he hasn't been around as much latley.

pit and HD, great pics.

I never new how much you guys posted over at BF.
I like the wilderness and survival section.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sharp,
Whenever I play with the SOCOM, I think M14, as well.

Well, I was just judging from the frame of your picture. The main chassis of M-14 and SOCOM are exactly the same.

Though, If I held one I probably would do the same and think "M-14".

I love M14s, SOCOMs, and SOCOM Elites. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Some more pics.....

OH yea, now we are talking

Dan

Here is one from today, we had a dumping of snow yesterday and some can still be seen on the hills in the background !

Today I had to do some gardening for my mom so I dicided to take along my YK.
Whats more spring than gardening and keeping up the yard with a yard keeper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Here it is in its mega d3lta socom tactical dropleg ninja camo ducttape sheath.

THE knife, you can see its victims in the back ground.

Here it is killin the comppost, luckly the yk finish is resistant to all fluids from jet feul to terrorest body fluids. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Love that logo.

Cutting some more, those bags are real tough and my edge kept going through and hitting the rocky soil.


No safe queens.

So far I think the yk is the best all around utility blade.

Killin another bag.

Purdy flower pics seem to be all the rage in this thread so here are some of mine.

Well, I couldn’t find a can of whoop-a$$ to open, so I had to settle for potatoes and green beans. And not only do I have pics, but also video!

Some shots from this past week. Ended up being on the road during some beautiful April weather:


Unfortunately the weather went from above freezing to quite cold in a very short time. As a result the roads had water on them while the air temperature was below 20 degrees. This was the result:


As you can see, I couldn't actually turn the wheel very far before the ice would stop it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Fortunately the Dog Father was there and able to help!

Ice shaving sharp! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Good as new:


Had to do all 4 wheel wells this way. It was a mess! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Does it ever get above freezing up there Chris?

lol
mac, you look way different from the pics you posted before.

I still need to take some good ones.
so far I think I know who is in the lead with these pics.

I hope I can get some good ones.

Which ones?

idk... the couple you posted when you cut your finger and stuff.

pshh, I thought you had long hair!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I can't wait to get some pics!
I want this next release bad!

I was making an expressive face by rolling my top lip up and stiking my teeth out. I do it all the time, habit but its a good way to get people to laugh.

I got my hair cut short awhile back.

The Dog did all the work, the Rat was just posing !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Pop get them down before they fall and hurt themselves !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Here is the scrapper I carry with me a school.

PoP, looking at that picture it seems like you'll have new batch of little SS4s on the way real soon now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I ran into this little guy on the way to dinner last night. He tried to sell me some car insurance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />









I had to be very careful holding him so he didn’t get away since we were inside in my room where I took the pics. If you didn’t know, he’s a Mediterranean Gecko.

awwwwwwww, he's adorable.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Did you eat him?

No! I turned him loose on the porch so he could eat more bugs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Where I caught him I saw a huge Texas cockroach almost twice his size. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I stomped him.

What I like about this comp other than looking at other peoples great pics is that it forces me to get out and clock up even more foot miles than I usually do !
Anyway I set off on another hike today and found myself walking in snow, Spring ain't supposed to be like this !!!

Here is my Mutt alongside some deer tracks....










And here I used it to cut my two bite brownie cos I only have a little mouth !!!

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU ROO!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Couldn't find any wood to chop today !!!

Nothing like the first Springtime T-Bones on the grill!

My personal Homeland Security Force <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Those steaks look pretty tasty!

indeed they do!

are those both rotties tom?
even the one on your left?

Joe - they WERE tasty! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

emf - the dog on MY left is a black & tan coon hound, and on my right is a rottie. My beagle was out of the picture. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I thought that was a black and tan.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
cool.

Well, I hiked a bit of the Appalachian trail around Sunfish Pond on Saturday. Love the whole Delaware Valley and that area in general, especially spring time and fall. Here are some pics of the Mutt on the trail.

Enjoy the week!

Great pics guys. Those nature pics are great Gideon.

Plus One!!!!

Very Nice!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

+2 - very nice indeed!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I went out today and decided to get myself some more FatWood, this is one of those times when a sharpened prybar and a batton comes in handy....





With a nice size piece pried off it was just a case of rinsing off my mutt in a nearby stream and I was good to go....


Even a DM meets his match sometimes....


Laying out in the sun to dry....


A little post walk reading material....


And one final Spring pic....

Nice pics Pit - especially the last one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good looking pictures

Dan

Thats more like "out of beer fever"

Dan

What are you waiting for...get a lobsters and a crab, let them go at it with a pair of DM's, snap a picture and then have a nice seafood dinner <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

[quote]Today I had to do some gardening for my mom so I dicided to take along my YK.
Whats more spring than gardening and keeping up the yard with a yard keeper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Here it is in its mega d3lta socom tactical dropleg ninja camo ducttape sheath.

THE knife, you can see its victims in the back ground.

Here it is killin the comppost, luckly the yk finish is resistant to all fluids from jet feul to terrorest body fluids. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Love that logo.

Cutting some more, those bags are real tough and my edge kept going through and hitting the rocky soil.


No safe queens.

So far I think the yk is the best all around utility blade.

Killin another bag.

Purdy flower pics seem to be all the rage in this thread so here are some of mine.





Very springy

Dan

Nice pics and a different approach to the contest

Dan

When does spring actully show in your neck of the woods?

Cool use of a Dog Father..this is a new one

Dan

Springy!

Dan

Nice pics and in the spirit of spring

Dan

My son(7) enjoyed chopping up this melon with our DMDC... He thinks it is his. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nice !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Spring is scheduled in for late june, summer is planned for the july long weekend and fall shortly after.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Things have actually started to warm up, we have consistently been above freezing during the day for the past week. Spring is here!

+1 Very nice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And Welcome to the ScrapYard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I guess these will be the last of my entries now. Today was a great day so I had to get out and take a few more pics !!!


Maisy always tries to get in on my pics eh !!!


Even this big guy looked worried when he saw my DM !!!!

it was a nice day;

Nice pic of a rare blade bro !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Cell phone pics.
DFCG
Tan Hook
MOD7
YKCG

thanks buddy, we haven't had many yet! (as you know) maybe next month!

I can't believe I couldn't get out any take any pics... oh well.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

More cell phone pics.


The handle is wrapped in 113lb catfish dropline, its usefull for making snares and adds grip to res-c.

fishing line?
cool idea, I'd think it'd hurt your hands after a while... but it looks like you've got it wrapped pretty good.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah it really tight and its not really fishing line.
More like lightweight nylon cord.
So its not fishing line.

lol
yeah 113lb test sounds pretty hardcore.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
you can use that for alot of stuff... and you can make fishing line even STRONGER by braiding it, (obviously you can get braided line too)
my friend made a dog leash out of fishing line one time. (he braided three strands of braided 50 lb test together)
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
so you could like freaking use it for a hammock or something if you had enough.
(obviously you wouldn't, but, if you had to make something to take your wieght or something like that it'd be pretty cool)

(sorry for hijacking)

Some more spring pics:

Wow, there are some super Spring pics! Great shots guys. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Andy was smart and saved his best shots for last.

ScrapYard knives rule ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I was afflicted with spring fever so badly that I had to add a spring Infi collection to my SS4. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



A comparison of my SJTAC and my old SwampRat Desert Jack

Great pictures everyone, I still don't have anything to showoff yet, but hopefully soon.

The DJ looks tiny next to the SJTAC.

Is it just me, or did Dan say he wanted to see pictures of us Dogs using our Yard knives - IN ACTION - in a unique springtime setting?!? I think the only two who followed his instructions were PoP and myself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey! I used mine in the most unique spring time setting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ahemm....I think you'll find I chopped a little Fatwood on some pics.....usually just me and Maisy on my hikes though and she sucks at taking pics !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I guess I stand corrected! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Maisy may not take pictures of others well, but she sure looks good in photos of her! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

and ColdOne Tom(choppin the ice)! spring for him is anything warmer than -20!

I guess you're right W/D. I hear that for an Easter Parade they all wear their newest parkas and "Mickey Mouse" boots! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

At my cottage...

Nice pictures Nak! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

no more pics allowed I guess?
figures... the one day my sister doesn't have to work.
I should have taken them along time ago!
man!!!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

oh well... congrats to whoever wins!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

the winnder will be chosen today... I guess if we get them up before the winner is chosen we are still in???

I have some to post! (I thought I was going to get to go on the river bank, but I couldn't)
hopefully dan hasn't stopped taking any yet!

here it goes...
since each pic will be looked at individually, some may be kind of similar, just different in one way (change of camera view ect.)

I cleared a little trail to get to some wood for the DFLE to chop and bring up into my yard.
the DFLE did take every single branch down with one stroke. they were about 1" thick) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />







its kind of awkward down there.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> and REALLY steep.






(I could have easily gone through these in one chop, but it's hard to swing full force and hit right when they're so low the the groud.)








I think they're a decent blend of artsy shots and action shots.
if only my sister felt like coming down onto the river bank.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

finding someone willing to take the pics sure is hard isn't it!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Nice to see more action shots emf - way to go!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Seems to me that getting a family member, friend, or neighbor shouldn't be too hard to do - after all, it's for a free ScrapYard knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> My nearest neighbor is a mile down the road, but I would not be afraid or embarrassed to put him to work if my wife wasn't around. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

lol
a mile?!
mine is about 6 inches away. (through a wall! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)
well, I guess getting someone to go where you want to take the pics is the more difficult part.
looks like everyone has posted some pretty good pics so it must not be that hard!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Man, a photographer for a sister.
Not fair <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Those black and white pics look great bro !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Wow didn't think this thread would still be going, anyway here are a couple more I have just taken of my DM during it's daily role as kindling maker.....

Great shots guys!


EMF, your sister takes some nice shots.

Andy, did you eat those eggs? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a chance! There are SO many really good action pics in this thread. Today I worked until sunset in the yard. By the time I went to take pics of the DFLE, it was Beer time! Maybe tomorrow I'll get some action shots. The Beer Hunter.

The Beer Hunter with night vision.

What camera do you have?

That night vision is better then my goggles.

Of course mine are russian gen1(simaliar to the starlight scope you may be familiar with).

You must have a built in IR iluminator.

I have a Canon A550. I don't really have any night vision with IR illumination. I just increased the brightness, reduced the contrast, and went to a green tint. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

lol!
thats great man!
you should win just for that.
vic, your shots are actually really good man.
you def stand a chance.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

lol
Is night vision illegal in Georgia or something?

Probably. I just don't ask anymore. I'm probably breaking some stupid law by drinking a Schlitz and typing this post. No man's life, liberty, or property are safe when the Georgia General Assembly is in session. Darned Atlanta Taliban.

Move to Ohio, I'd be more than glad to have ya as a neighbor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Spring Defined....

Daffs...


And Lambs....

Great Pics Vic, You've made me head to the fridge for a cold one now !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I like the daffodils and lambs better than a stabbed beer can!

There ya go mentioning it again Vic, now I've had to get another can !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

if you would just make some tip prys on that fence post or something you would have a winning post!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

how about the DogFather versus Mt St Helens!

Your gonna call me dumb now but is that real or photoshop ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

both, I took too shots, the backround came out blurry, but clear blade, so I mixed two real shots I took, one of backround, and one of DF.

I put up the original first, but it didn't seem right.

W/D - if that picture is REAL, it's a terrific one. Looks like a professional advertisement shot!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know why but it reminds me of a smoking volcano in Costa Rica.

I like your shots Tom, you've got real spring! we won't for a month still <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
and ty sir

Thanks - I hope the Big Dog likes them! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> How's the world treating you otherwise?

Looks good anyway, I'm gonna have to look into how you do that kinda stuff.....I'm so much behind when it comes to technology !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Pit - I'm sorry to say that you're miles ahead of me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

you don't need it Pit. us dogs like it raw. I love your pics.

We ALL love his pics - they're great! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

photoshop is great for making collages (like what w/d did with his two pictures) and creating art or doing very basic image editing (cropping, reducing file size, etc.) but once you start actually messing with levels (more than just making something sepia or applying basic filters... which gets BORING after one photo) then most people just mess up their pictures instead of enhancing them.

all's well Tom, life is good right! and how the storms?

The storms are just West of us now, so I'm going to catch a few zzz's before it hits. With luck, they may go just N/W of us. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> Catch you tomorrow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I heard it was supposed to snow in ohio. Its really nice down here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> hehe

peace brother Tom, and good luck!

Which is why I use a tripod. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Although it can be hard to line up the shot when you're not in the pic.


No, I was hoping they'd hatch and I could take pics of them like the pics I took before (below). Those above were from a turtle dove. Unfortunately, something ate them, I'm guessing a coon.



Notice the nest is heart shaped? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />









Aren't they tiny! That's my left index finger for scale.






Awwwwwww...aren't they cuuuuuute? [img]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/andywayne/Emoticons/love4.gif[/img] [img]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/andywayne/Emoticons/love3.gif[/img] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Great pics, but cute ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

my dogs would think they were cute. like little chewy treats hehe I can just see them jumping around and howl-whining begging me to let them at'em

I'm afraid my dogs would react the same. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - those ARE great pics!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Went down into the Altamaha swamps today. DFLE hacked through the bush and pigmy bamboo. A Manly knife!



My daughter, Bonnie came to visit. She went with me all the way to Oyster Shell Hill, way down in the swamp. She carried her YKLE.

Yes, the fat old man crossed this creek first!

Blazing a trail of glory for others to follow. Surrrender is not in my creed!

How the hell is your daughter gonna get a boyfriend when she has a dad as scary looking as you Vic, man they would nervous wrecks !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Great pics again though bro !!!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Just caught my son lookin at your daughter Vic !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

scary?
I hope my (future) girlfriends dad is as cool as vic!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
those are some great pics vic, it's great to have someone to take them for you isn't it?

Cool maybe but you would'nt bring her home late eh !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

!
I could see it now.
how did vic once put it?
"I have a lot of land, a shotgun and a shovel"
idk.. but it was def something like that...
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It was a great outing. Bonnie moved out to live with her aunt about a month ago. I just took her back there. She is happier there with her mother's sister (her mother passed away when she was 10). Her sister, Linda is staying with an ex-girlfriend of mine who loves to shop. I have accepted all this for now. Bonnie wanted to go outside today and "do something exciting" like ride the Harley. I told her that I had been wanting to go to Oyster Shell Hill down in the swamp for over a year, but no one would go with me. She said she was up for it, so off we went. She was impressed my the old man's ability to navigate with a compass and hit every creek crossing dead on. She took a picture of me crossing Lewis Creek on the log, but it didn't come out. I am tired, but very happy. I was a great day to be in the Altamaha!



Today's swamp combo:

Bonnie on the way back.

The DFLE proved to be very useful. I had to hack through limbs while crossing other creeks and slash through thick bamboo in some places. Try that with a little bitty knife! I lost part of my lanyard and beads while climbing over a log over a creek.

lol "try that with a littly bitty knife!"... you sound like noss.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I love clearing little "trails (pshh! I'm sure it's nothing like down there though) with my DFLE... it really is the perfect knife.


glad you had a fun day to enjoy with you daughter vic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ahh, Vic wouldn't scare me.
Hes just a cool guy to talk about knives with, plus I know I have a DFCG. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looks like you had a fun day with your daughter.
I cant tell you how many times I have fallan into rivers or creeks trying to cross them like that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

that a .38 snubby? very nice pics i think you have it in the bag to win

It's a .22. I also have 3 .38s, 1 .357, and a 44 spl. I have autos, too, but I just have a thing for wheel guns.

cool i love wheelguns too

does anyone even know if these pics count anymore?
if so I think I have more competition than I thought.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

idk, but I just love auto pistols... they're alot smaller than I thought actually.
I checked out my local sporting goods store guns section and they have quite a selection... they had one of those little kel tecs and man was it tiny!
I kinda want a glock 23, or maybe an XD for my first gun.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

vic, cut those frayed ends off at the chinese knot and heat em with a lighter.

Great pictures Vic - you look like a guide in the Outback! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, Michael. Done!

So... who won?

lol
good question sharp!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Dan????

A great question. We have had two staff meetings to review the entries. There are so many good choices that the staff is still working through the submissions for a final winner. It looks as if we will need to have a couple of runner up prizes.

Stay tuned for the final winner, a picture of the next offer and first place prize.

I can tell you that the Dogs really have spring fever. We should have the winner named in the next two days

Dan

Worth quoting and highlighting:


Sounds great Dan! Is that going to be the Blade Show knife as well? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Cool...

We'll be standing by. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It will

Dan

blade show knife?!
nice!
since I won't get to make it to blade (probably ever!) it would be great to get this one!
idk though... there was alot of competition.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The prize is WORTH the competition! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure it will be!
I'm excited about runner up prizes!
that means I still have a chance at something!

Exciting isn't it?!!!? Until the winners are announced, we ALL have a chance!

lol
that's true.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Exactly

Some of the ScrapYard staff can be pretty darn stuborn...we will have a decision by tomorrow even if I have to take few staff members out to the dumpster...aka woodshed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Dan

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />........................ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'll help you figure this out dan!
when in doubt DO NOT go with a mod.... or vic... or pit... or mac...
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
that's how I would decide!
and fire anyone who dissagrees!

...
(I hope that will work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

emf - I'm sure glad that you're not in charge! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

better yet, just send em to the shop and keep em busy.

then pull out a picture of the best pumpkins you ever saw and know shoulda won, and give THEM first place. yes, that's perfectly logical.

Or use this: A DFLE "Knee capping" a cypress!

that qualifies as an entry for me too. see the lanyard.

I'm sure we ALL have our fingers crossed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Was there any frogs in that swamp Vic ? I keep hearing them when I hike but have not managed to see any yet ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

This is the big day when Dan announces his winner,winners! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Good luck to all,and great job interpreting Spring in your neighborhood.

Well done all Dogs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


Peace.

Cool, I wish you guys luck.

I have been meaning to take some more pictures to add to my wee entry, might take some tonight if it isnt to late.

Nicely said PoP!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Mac - I think it's a little late for more entries. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well it would be worth the effort aye <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Or do you not want the compitition. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good luck to all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

With all the great pics, I'm sure glad I don't have to pick a winner! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Mac - I didn't SEE any competition! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> As far as new entries, I suppose it wouldn't hurt, but it will just TAKE LONGER FOR THE JUDGES TO DECIDE!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

It would be too late though as the competition closed at the end of last month. You can still share them in another thread though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good luck everyone!

Nothing wrong with sharing aye.
I'll see what I can do and add some pics later to the other thread.

This is truly an award-winning picture!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
