Hey nice picture, but what on Earth is this yellow "thing"?? Never seen it before...

Fridger

Not sure. For want of a better name, I'll call it a wild flower. It is growing amongst the foliage in front of my house. When I weeded that area last week, I decided to leave it. Glad I did.
Edit********Now I got a better idea. Mustard********.

Hmm,

the yellow color may be about right, BUT

is the rest also true?

This is how mustard looks like



Fridger

Same plant, different angle and time of day.



Not Mustard?
Cartrites mustard=yes

Hell I don't know. Maybe it's not mustard.

Hey I remember those days. I used to be an expert at that Too bad they didn't give out gold medals for that sport. I would have won a bronze medal.

I think you are right. I clipped a leaf to compare with the image. The orange sap that was produced at the wound was the clincher.

Oh yes, the Lord is right, I bet
Too bad, Steve

Fridger

I think Bob was right TOO. I do got too much time on my hands.

Bob... one word... retired! I suppose things could be worse what with summer approaching, I could be photographing bikini-clad ladies at the beach rather than flora! Then again, LadyFerret would surely put my head to the chopping block if I did.

fly_space... it would be nice to see some of Korea's flora here as well, please do post!

Yeah, me too...
I much prefer to spend my time now riding (and playing with) my new Harley-Davidson.
Having a blast... Although "bikini-clad ladies at the beach" sounds like fun too.

Sorry ladies... Did not mean to disrespect. It's just that I am now an old, Brain-Dead
Geezer.

Many thanks, Brain-Dead

Old guys are allowed to look... rite of passage and all that.

Hey Bob,

I am impressed! It looks like an antique "treasure", doesn't it? How old is it?
How about making us admire a full scene shot?

I suppose such a bike will provide much improved mobility to you!?

Fridger

It is exactly 3.5 months old now.
As for mobility, I am definitely mobile now. I'd post some more shots,
but I'm afraid that some of the bike's features are not for gentle folk.

Having a blast with it though.

Thanks, Brain-Dead

Aha!

you're not saying that this bike sports various naked ladies in stainless steel or polished chrome??

This zoom-in looks already quite cool:

EDIT: this "wormhole" view even looks more frightening to me:
