The first Ford Explorers were 4-door SUVs based on their Ranger pickup truck line. As popular as the Explorers came to be, at a certain point I suppose that there was a perceived market to have a pickup truck version of the Explorer (i.e. with an open box), hence the Explorer Sport Trac!

My niece who was a baby not so long ago having to watch over her lil bit cousins scattered all over. We were at one of our sister's house for a get together today (well, almost yesterday now) ... all the kids were out by a pond in her backyard .. and paparazzi was right behind following them around ;-P
(I usually don't take people photography, but thinking of starting that soon. But what better way to start from home and then move into street .. (well, if I can) ... I would appreciate your critique, comments, feedback etc. Thanks.
Thanks for not pasting "multi-invites" and also for not copying/pasting comment code without comment associated with it
Pigs do fly!!!
We have just had a massive storm that lasted well over an hour and it was amazing with almost constant sheet and fork lightning.
Knew I wasn't going to get decent photos with a point and shoot but thought I would give it a try.
Have no idea how these images have been formed but I have managed to capture quite a few in different forms.
Well they were taken on Halloween!!!
Oinked their way into Explore #262 30th October. Which is interesting as I took this after midnight on Halloween but because of the time difference it actually appeared in Explore the day before I actually took this!!!!
Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It is of international significance and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The hilly virgin rainforest, part of the Sri Lanka lowland rain forests ecoregion, was saved from the worst of commercial logging by its inaccessibility, and was designated a World Biosphere Reserve in 1978 and a World Heritage Site in 1988. The reserve's name translates as Kingdom of the Lion.
The reserve is only 21 km (13 mi) from east to west, and a maximum of 7 km (4.3 mi) from north to south, but it is a treasure trove of endemic species, including trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Because of the dense vegetation, wildlife is not as easily seen as at dry-zone national parks such as Yala. There are about 3 elephants and the 15 or so leopards are rarely seen. The most common larger mammal is the endemic Purple-faced Langur.
An interesting phenomenon is that birds tend to move in mixed feeding flocks, invariably led by the fearless Greater Racket-tailed Drongo and the noisy Orange-billed Babbler. Of Sri Lanka's 26 endemic birds, the 20 rainforest species all occur here, including the elusive Red-faced Malkoha, Green-billed Coucal and Sri Lanka Blue Magpie.
Reptiles include the endemic Green pit viper and Hump-nosed vipers, and there are a large variety of amphibians, especially tree frogs. Invertebrates include the endemic Common Birdwing butterfly and the inevitable leeches.

Sinharaja national park was another delight of our Sri Lanka adventure - a dense tropical rainforest which we explored on foot. So many things to see there!

we hold on to the things that are comfortable
its so hard to let go and do something dangerous
the same old patterned days lay ahead
when will they be different?
And with the New Year, 2008, it's flowers again from me. Christmas Cactus flower macro.
