Our Maple Tree and the Price of Oil
This is an odd hotlink. I've been ignoring it by mistake, confusing it with two other maple tree pictures. This picture has two hotlinks and I see I need to make additions to the search engine filtering.
The big hotlink is at Price of Oil. This looks like an astroturf site, but I don't see what it's up to. It caught my attention in particular because my proud Oregonian Maple Tree is described as endangered in Vermont. The comments on this blog take you to a suggestion that your email will be warmly welcomed. It seems weird not to have comments.
Owell, I think I'll watch it for awhile, and maybe I can figure out why this website seems so weird.

Thanks, Change of Oil!
UPDATE 28 Mar 2007 1437 - They've swapped out my picture for one at The Chamorro Bible. I wonder if they noticed that I blessed their use of my image, and only use unsanctioned images? The rest of the pictures are same, at least that I noticed.
Krissy Bobby and the Eastern Oregon Landscape
This Eastern Oregon Sky photo has been hotlinked on Krissy Bobby's myspace page for a couple months now. Her profile is set private. She hails from Oregon, so I suspect she lives out in that High Country. I took this too many years ago to remember where it was, somewhere northeast of Bend.

Thanks Krissy Bobby!

Panicfreaks and the Show of Hands
This is fun - the Show of Hands has turned up at panicfreaks again. It was hotlinked in August 2006 by Vacation214, and it looks like I never really saw it.
This time, they were googling themselves, and if you google image search for panicfreaks the first image is the Show of Hands.
This hotlink is second growth.

Kim and the Orange Dragonfly
Kim, from Chillicothe, Ohio, is using this picture on her myspace page. It appears to be part of her design, and not in a comment, I can't tell - she has set the page private.
I took this in my backyard, then I got greedy and touched the tree limb. Off it flew!
Thanks Kim!

Injured Spider at a Korean Spider Party
There are a bunch of very cool spider pictures on a bbs at djuna.cine21.com, one of which is my injured flower spider, poor critter, a speck of life now long gone, with the dubious consolation prize of immortality on the net. I took this in my backyard last year.
The site is Hangul, the Korean script. The page chokes babelfish, but the text under my picture translates as:
It passes between the rose petal the flower spider (Flower spider) of small one body. The photograph according to at the minute when it takes it was injured, the place one piece eye which it does crumples and it is same the position thing.
hmmm. Well, sure, why not.
Thanks, Unknown Person!

Celeste with Hand Prints All Over
Celeste has started using these handprints as wallpaper on her myspace page. She is a self-proclaimed "dirty mouth with feet" and has excellent taste in music.
This photo was taken at Natural Bridges National Monument, and this is the first time it has been hotlinked.
Thanks! Celeste

Space Invader at Space Invader
Space Invader is an eponymously entitled Italian site dedicated to that grand old arcade game Space Invaders. I was never much of a fan. At one job once upon a time several of us went in on a $100 Berzerk. It ended up in my office - I ended up being ungodly excellent at downing white-ning bright robots.
This picture is my nephew, a polaroid taken maybe 20 years ago.
Space Invader gives credit for the image, very cool. This places them in the rarified company of Blogisattvas.
Thanks, mystery site master at Space Invader!
Congratulations to Kandace and Jason
for their upcoming Nuptials, as well as their excellent taste in flowers. This picture has had approximately 9 active hotlinks in the last 5 months.
Kandace and Jason have chosen this image and a bunch of other purple flower pictures for a purple flower post, the 27 February 2007 post at Kandace and Jason. Makes purple sense to me. Purple is the theme color for their weddings, an excellent choice indeed.
Thank you Kandace and Jason!
