I like shooting nature photography. About 90 minutes from my house is a public park on Lake Guntersville. There I join some friends to take photos of bald eagles.  I will post seven shots from the past week. Bald Eagle Photography friends at the lake More of my friends at the lake Sailboat on Lake Guntersville more to follow....

So, you know the Chess.com database, where you can analyze the games of Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, and all the top chess players in the world? You can find this by pressing the three dots and looking around for 'database'. We'll, I have used it before and it is a great place to study chess, especially the really sophisticated positions where so much could be played. The only problem I have with that feature is that, let's just say you are analyzing a game that is so epic, and the position is so vast but at the same time playing one bad move could cost you the game. Now imagine that you see this position, and the next move played is so horrendous looking to you because it breaks all chess principles, but the computer gives it a great move, and gives you a little sentence on why it is a good move that review usually gives you. What I would like is a feature that would be unique to the database section, a feature that would give you a whole paragraph of all the possible reasons of why that move was played and why it works. So like it will give you a paragraph telling all the positional advantages with that move and all the positional disadvantages with that move if any. Because I am pretty sure an intermediate player has looked at a game that Magnus Carlsen has played and then they saw this move that to them made no sense at all. The move could have been played all the way on the queenside but all the action was on the kingside. This feature I think would really help, and I wanted to know what everyone else thinks.

Well for all in the northern half of our fine world, Summer is about to turn to Autumn. That is extra good. And for those living way down south of the equator, Springtime is near - also very groovy! So are you and outdoors person? Chances are that I have been an outdoors person longer than you! I love Autumn - fall colors and American football and mild temperatures. God is taking care of us all! So tell me - are you an outdoors person? What are your favorite outdoor activities?

Guys get forums and be active ok HELLO is my final words!

I post this for anyone (especially those not in North America) who wants to know about me and my quiet life in Alabama.Every morning I take a casual walk in my yard to see what is going on in regards to my flowers and grass and trees and birds and whatever else I can see. So here are some thoughts from today:Hot again. Back to mid July temperatures - high expected for today is 97 ( 36 C). Also returning to dry. Those small showers from three days ago have disappeared. Grass will need to be mowed in the next 4 or 5 days.Flowers doing so-so. I need to divide the Coreopsis in that pot. That is the pot that spent last winter in my garage, so if I divide them flowers now it will mean two more pots in the garage this coming winter. But I need about two more flowers in posts to fill in since I have a new wooden wheelbarrow display/decor piece in the yard. I should post a few pictures. https://www.almanac.com/plant/coreopsis And I still need to divide one of the Coneflowers in front of the porch. I was gonna do that when the weather got to be less hot and dry.https://www.almanac.com/plant/coneflowers More later - probably tomorrow. Rocky

Just curious to know if anyone is a debater here.

need someone who knows how to code in my club so they can make quicklinks and a calendar. So does anyone know how to and would be willing to join my club?

Seriously, should I? Are the original owners going to make other accounts or what?
