I say, Gwathagor, nice touch with the rifles! Much more manly than my picture is.

Thanks. I was on ground squirrel duty that day.

And thanks, Volo, for updating.

Poor ground squirrels! I love them! Especially feeding them in National Parks where it clears says "Do Not Feed the ground squirrels"!

Anyway, do you think I should submit my picture? I don't know if I qualify, I don't post much, and almost never on "serious" threads.

Those squirrels stole my apple at the Grand Canyon! They just marched right on up to me as bold as brass and took my apple right from my hands. Every one of those varmints deserve the death sentence!

Don't tell her that, she's a bit of a tree-hugger...


I think that Lauri should post a picture of herself on the photo page because I really want to know what she looks like!

C'mon Laurinquë! There are no qualifications. The Barrow Downs photo page is no "meet our most honourable members in the order of their significance and history of this site" -page. It's where you give us others a face we can put into our minds while reading your posts whatever they are.

Btw. I finally sent a pic of me to the photo page. I look like a maniac there but if you click the whole picture it miraculously softens and starts to look more lenient... That pic is taken by Rune at our summer cottage less than a month ago and I guess it ended the last page. So the next one will open a new page!

Who's first on the next page?!?

If ever I decide to put my Malay face into that page of Caucasians, how should I do it? And... well, will anybody want to see it anyway?

We have a Czech proverb - I am not sure what the etymological origins are and it would really interest me - that somebody looks like "an owl from (or of) noodles". (I don't even know if it's meant the way that the owl is made from noodles, or that it looks out of a pile of noodles. Probably the latter, though.) But I think maybe it might fit you on this picture



Nah, it's an okay pic

They've been ruthlessly and methodically tearing up our friends' front field, for which crime all squirrels are well-acquainted with the punishment. They knew what they were getting into; though they may not have known whom they were tangling with.
