Uploaded: July 29, 2008
Something wasn't right here. At first I thought it was my coffee being too strong and almost poured it out on the SPOT!
...but nope. It showed up on film, too! Ha!

Hey, that looks worse than the earthquake we had today in S. California! I hope you didn't decide to ride the slide. #6246920Laura E. Swan July 30, 2008
Ha! Hope I didn't make anyone dizzy! Thanks Ulysses. Always fun. :)* *
I heard about the earth quake about 30 seconds after it happened. Hubby's sister lives down there and the were talking on the phone right when it was happening. 5.6 was it? Did you have after shocks? #6247930

So this is what vertigo feels like??? Typing quickly before I'm swept away!!! Great shot girl! I'd try warming the color a bit if you can, other than that... very effective image; I'm gonna go lie down now, lol! #6250577Laura E. Swan July 30, 2008
Oh Christine and Steve. Hubby thinks I am nuts as I sit here laughing at what you guys say. Typing quickly b-4 I'm swept away! Ha! Curvature of the Earth!!! You guys are very clever.Actually Steve is right. The river runs NORTH. Big deal, right?
It's all "uphill" from here and if we can figure out how to bottle it, women everywhere will buy this gravity defying "moisturizer" to keep the old chin from dragging on the ground. COOL! So I will become a millionaire AFTERALL! I'd share the dough with you two, but ONLY ~I~ KNOW WHERE THIS SPOT IS! Ah Hahahhahahaaaaaaaa! #6252170

LOL... I'll take cash! And muscle relaxant for the crick in my neck from staring at this for too long.... #6416827Laura E. Swan September 05, 2008
Done. Open your mouth and have your water handy. Ièm gonna pop a pill over to you. The pill is that I cant pay either of you. We were turned down for the discovery money. I have been crying all day. I am tired. Now it is your turn. Here is some tissue.#6417330

Yes, Mr. Tree! SO I HAVE NOTICED! I stood there and marveled that it was still standing! Gotta hand it to those Trees! :D*
I know JUST what you mean, Irene! It was very strange to STAND there trying to make sense of it. But once I realized the RIVER was running UPHILL I knew I'd seen a miracle and had to capture it for you folks! HA!
Have a fun day!
