Ok I figured I would give you all alittle time to come up with baby pictures and those of you that send them to me I will post them anonomously so that people can guess who is who, {make sure you have a good photo of yourself in your profile!} But that will be a day next week. So get going and find those photos...

Today we will try something different.. how about we post photos and .gifs of anything that starts with an A ie ardvarks, apples,alps...
I'' start it off..

Oo Oo I got one.



Alpaca

Hi Freddie and Cecil, How about these two.....

My oldest son Alex - entertaining us on New Years Eve!!

Forgot to say Hi Freddie, Cecil and Lisa!!

Hi Mary. love that Picture!

OK, that ant is moving way to fast....
Let try this one.

Okay, Cecil - we've seen a your pics of those adorable alpacas. What I'd like to know is the story behind them. Are you and Princess Lily raising Alpacas now? What are there names?

Hi everyone. I got one.

Aquarius.

Alabaster

Ok and Aphrodite (see above).

Very nice Ilona!!!

Amoeba (Ameba)

Oops! The figure just above is Venus, from The Birth of Venus by Botticelli,
who is one of my favorite painters.

Did I hear anemones.

Anemone1

Anemone2

Anemone3

Anemone4

Anemone5

Anemone6

Anemone7 One of my favorites.

Anemone8 Also a favorite.

Anemone9

Anemone 10

These are all cold water anemones. Warm water will have to wait.

Anaconda.

The dimensions that have earned the anaconda the title of king is its total body mass or its weight (the sheer physical bulk of it). The other snake that competes with the anaconda is the Asiatic Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus). The python holds the world's record for length of a snake, with the longest ever measured at 33 feet. Even though the longest python is longer than the record-holding anaconda, the girth of the anaconda is far bigger. Anacondas in the jungles of South America can grow as big around as a grown man. Big enough to swallow a grown man whole!

Venus = Aphrodite. Quiz at 11.

Seb...LOL...

Fredster, great idea!




Amstel Bright ;-)

Did someone say Amstel Bright!?!?!



Now doesn't that make you thirsty!?!?!
These can go for the B day to!!LOL!!

Cynde - love the Angel shot!!!

Cynde, cute angel.

Almost forgot A is for Ashley!

Fredster, luv ya !!!!

Once again you are giving me a chance to display my favourite "A" and my other favourite "A"




Sjosssss

Sjossss - you must have been reading my mind - I just requested that you post these over here!!LOL!!

I will have to get some updates sooooooon

Sjossss

An alligator gar - picture taken at Rainbow River FL.

Bab's Alison!!

Mary, YES, those do make me thirsty!

Oh, and I almost forgot Angel!

Cynde -I was looking through my A pictures and almost posted that one for you - I am glad that I waited.

Hope this counts as an A - Annie's Chair!!LOL!

MM, the elkadia pix are NOT helping my PBD

Seb - its not helping mine either and I don't think I will be back on the island until October!!

Though I do think I have talked Dirk into going over the Christmas holidays this year!! So at last I may make 2 trips this year!!

You go girl! I think Mary wants xmas at home this year, the whole nine yards. Maybe we'll even rent some kids.

Do you want mine!?!? - you already know one of them and they are out of their terrible 2's. Downside is they are both teenagers!!!

Didn't have time until now to check this site.
Love all those "A's" pics.

Can't wait for next week for other fun threads.
Thanks guys and have a wonderful weekend.

By the way - where is TOM?????

Great pictures from you guys. Mary, I just scoured my files again, and found my chair. LOL. I just found two different ways of spelling anenome.

Is it anenome, or anemone?

Worse than teenagers, Mary, they're both boys! I was thinking more like a young natalie wood type, but cardboard cutouts might be better.

It is anemone. I used BT spellchecker! ;-)

I also let an A word pop into my mind. It was Amaryllis!

This one was in my Mom's apartment in March of 2003.

Thanks Niki. I did type in both versions of the word on the net, and they both came up with the same meaning. The difference was with the word anenome, which came up with both the flower, and the sea version. Anemone it is for the underwater version, that is what the Oxford dictionary told me. Brain gets fuddled when yer getting old.

SWeet dreams everyone, it's late here and I need to sleep.

Today was fun. Night night everyone.

What are we posting tomorrow, is it a B day.

Is it too late for A Day??! Wow, what a fantastic collection of A's...Mary you beat me to posting Alison on the north Bon coast
And I'll add Azaleas!

Nikki, I grow amaryllis like that during winter. But I came back from my trip and both my amaryllis and narcissus (both were blooming in the kitchen when we left) were dead as doornails.

On anemones, Annie, I pronounce them and spell them both the same. Soon my "land" anemones will be waving like red and purple tulips in the morning, then wide open with black centers like oriental poppies when I come home for lunch. The leaves are up. Sturdy plants, I love them.

I have an Alexander as well, my grandson. Dont make me dig. lol He's so cute with his blonde hair and lopsided smile and white teeth and sparkle eyes.

Jos, your daughter is gorgeous. Your son is roly poly adorable.

Ah well, I missed A day, mostly. But maybe a weekend I could do this. And if we do baby pics, all of us black and white babies are going to be easy to spot. lol No color in my birth years, that was for my youngest sister and brother- Me and my sister who is 1.5 years younger are b/w, my other sister and my brother are color. ;)

Haha Babs. Poopy shoes. Get my meaning? Guess that means that you can post that again when we get to the letter P. LMBO!

Well that wasn't too bad 45 posts to this point... Would be nice if we can maintain that number and even increase it!!
OK DO YOU WANT to DO B day tomorrow??? it's up to you..
another reminder if you would like to send me your photo when you were little.. I will post them all next week and we can guess who is who.. you must have a good profile photo so we can at least have a slight chance.. Send the photos to me and I will keep them safe until next week..

B DAY coming soon to a thread near you ???

Wow, I will have to wait a LONG time for Trunicate....er...tunicate...

Wow, what great pictures...yes, I think that "p" will need a picture of "poopy shoes"...hee hee

Is it too late to get an A in? She could even have been in an earlier theme - cats. This is my cat Albert (a girl, named by an idiot former boyfriend who left her behind when I finally got rid of him):

Okay Annie and Cynde, I will see what I can do when we get to the P's!

here is one I forgot!!
Annie!

And "Awesome Al"....
First time up on the slopes on Friday after getting Doc permission. Al had shoulder surgery in November and has been unable to participate in his winter activities. He's working real hard towards lifting those tanks in March! :-)
