As opposed to "Holy Pec's Batman", but that's another, much more private comicbook story.

I took pictures! And some of them are actually good! These were taken on Saturday and I'm just now getting a chance to post them. These are all 800x600 popups. Well, two of them are 600x800. The original size of these was 1600x1200. FYI...you have my permission to use these pics in any personal, non-commercial, non-profit way. If you wish to use any pics here for a commercial purpose, you must contact me and seek my permission.

For todays's 'geekly' info, the linux command to resize these was...
for x in `ls *JPG`; do convert -size 800x800 $x -resize 800x800 ../20030531-new/$x; done
...which will resize so the largest dimension is 800 pixels.

I should have finished looking through, because I have one more flower identified for you. Your Flower 1/2/3 is probably a poppy. Posted by Nea @ 06/03/2003 12:02 PM PST

You're right on both counts, I think. There are eucalyptus varieties with similar leaves, but not in that form of bush. Interesting though...I have no clue what it is :) Posted by Greg @ 06/03/2003 12:06 PM PST

Yep, those are definitely poppies. Those plants also had the characteristic poppy bulbish heads. Posted by Greg @ 06/03/2003 12:08 PM PST
