7:43...time's up on the movie theatre request.

Show me some fall foliage!

 Sorry, my mistake.....Okay, apparently we are not using an EST time stamp....if we go until 8:43 without a movie theatre, then show me some fall foliage. Sad

Way late and out of order and after the time limit, here is a movie theater.  But in the poeriod I model, the first show was not until noon except on Saturday.

Mom parked one spot away from front of theater to avoid fire zone, but the kids standing agt the curb can't see she is there to pick them up because she is not RIGHT in front.

I was late and out nof order so let's lumber along to simon1966's request.... lumber yard.

We have been away for a bit over a week, and this thread continues to grow like mushrooms! Was around page 60, and another 16 or 18 pages and a new thread have been added. Had to check all of it out right after WPF.

Great photos everyone!!

Yes, it will do as they had to go in full to come out empty.

Thought if some one has full ones going in why not show it.Big Smile

Something is rotting in the pig pen, or at least it smells like it.  Seriously there are a couple of water melon rines that aren't smelling to good in the hot sun.

Show me something triangular in shape.
