Shea and Two Orange Roses
Here's another Orange Rose hotlink, this time from Shea's myspace page. I can't see the roses, but that's okay, they sure are pretty anyway.
Thanks Shea!

These New Puritans and the Boiling Water
This Boiling Water is lurking behind the realm link in the February 07, 2007 post. These New Puritans are a band in England somewhere. The downloads are empty links, but I like the art work.
This picture was recently hotlinked at a commercial site, hawking health nostrums and therapies. The boiling water illustrated a Hydrotherapy section. Scald that ugly skin away! I confess to having swapped the link for afew days, having no confidence or desire to talk to a sales site chalk full of hot linked pictures. I put a pictures of
10 Rovegs in it's place:
The commericial hotlink dispappeared a few days later, replaced by a very pretty picture of some waterfalls, and I replaced the boiling water picture.
I don't like doing this - if this picture had had active hotlinks of which I approve (pretty much any use that isn't commercial, or radically alters the image) I would have been in a quandary.
The proper way to deal with this is in the webserver, and I haven't set things up to make this easy. If this is a trend, then I may have to.
I read in a sysadmin email list yesterday that email spam now constitutes 90-95% of net traffic. This admin was seeing 98-99% at their institution. Yikes. Dark matter and introns.

An Orange Rose at Happy Heather's Hullaballoo
Happy Heather is using this orange rose at the very tip top of her blog's sidebar, where it looks very nice indeed. Her blog is called Happy Heather's Hullaballoo The funnest place on earth. This is about as top billing as hotlinks ever achieve!
We have a couple dozen or so rose bushes in the yard, but only one that is as reliably ORANGE as this, and the entire archive of Orange Roses are from this bush. All four pictures. The weather we're having I expect there will be more soon!
Thanks Heather!

Rain, Rain Ridge, and Diamond Peak
This is a view of Diamond Peak from somewhere on Bunchgrass Ridge. Someone, an admin of the group, is using it as an illustration of Rain Ridge, which is *Under construction*, and looks to be a roleplaying forum.
I'm building a 36 Views of Diamond Peak, and an inordinate number of them are from Bunchgrass Ridge. There's a trail that runs along it from the west end of Oakridge to Waldo Lake. The Disciples of Dirt have done a lot of work with this trail.
Thanks Unknown Person!

Kirsten, Mercury Dissolved! and the Tongue that can Reveal Many Problems
This is a rarity, and I can't see it. There have been very few to no hotlinks to Far Cartouche. This collage ended up around town on bulletin boards and in the post as mail art. I was just deciding to start working completely w/ black and white so as not to be intoxicated by colors that don't xerox well.
Kristen is using this in her profile. ...really makes me wonder, maybe I should ask for an invite. She's a Colts fan here in Oregon somewhere.
Well, Thanks, Kirsten! I'd like to see it, but it's cool I'm sure.

Sam and Sarah and the Goldenrod Spider Supping
Sam has left a comment on Sarah's MySpace page that is built around this picture. It's a first for this picture, and I like it a lot. I took a few thousand spider pictures in my backyard a couple summers ago.
Thanks Sam!
