Klickies in the Real World
« on: May 14, 2006, 03:22:22 »
OK, well here's my idea. Let's see if you guys think it's a good one.

In this thread I want people to post pictures they take of their klickies out in the "real" world. Not at home, surrounded by their little plastic comforts, but out among the "big people." Take em with you vacation, sightseeing, to work, wherever! Just take a picture of them to share with the rest of us. And if you can get a picture of yourself with them, that is cool too!

I am going to get us started with some older pictures that I have taken during vacations or trips with my little guys. Many of you will have seen them before elsewhere, but they will be new to some of you. And hopefully they will inspire you do the same.

First off are some pictures of Blackbeard battling for his life, where else, but on Ocracoke Island, N.C., where the real Edward Teach was hunted down and killed by Royal Navy Lt. Robert Maynard.

Next up - Captain Henry, and his friend Manolo the legionnaire, travel to Jacksonville, Fla., for Super Bowl XXXIX. They saw the stadium, and also got to hang out at the hotel pool!

And lastly, an example of some images with a little photo editing work done (and one before and after example). Don't be shy - altering the photos is perfectly acceptable and if you think it'll make the photo better, go for it!

Yes!!! Count me in! :D

It's a long time since I took photos of my klickies outside, but I will try and remember to take some with me next time I'm going somewhere interesting. I almost always have my camera with me, because it fits so easily in my bag. :yup:

Great photos, Henry! Thanks for coming up with this idea. :)9

Hello, Cap'n Henry ...

Since "Tim Dawkins" is still in the land of the Pirates, he asked me to send along these photos of him on the Island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands ... ;)

The first picture shows Mr. Dawkins pointing in the direction of the house that belongs to his friend Richard.

The next picture shows Tim at his favourite hangout ... "Crown Point" ...  :arrr:

Then on the way home he spotted a cruise ship docked at Havensight!

Mr. Dawkins kept asking, "Aaargh ... Now where do they be storin' the sails for that fine lookin' ship?" ...  :arrr:

I soon gave up trying to explain ...  :lol:

A GREAT idea (these real life photos), Cap'n Henry !!!

All the best to you and your family (and especially to your lovely wife on this special day),
Richard
