    Tell Frank. He will fix that.....

    When you find a pin and bring it closer then click on satelite on the upper right.

    One of Frank's gold pins is stuck in my back yard. It's big. However, there are so many trees you can't see my yard, not even the pin. However, the neighbors can and they are beginning to wonder. :)

    The stew is loaded with features, it's fun just exploring.

    WOw! chocolate! I have never seen the street view show people so clearly. Is that you????? That is very cool. If the little Google car were out by my house I would run out there and wave for real.

    chocolate, Is this the location where you keep all your plants? I see that woman cleaning or planting pots but I can't see all the plants, pots and flowers that you have..

    O/T... Also I see lots of fires in the news lately. Are they near you??? I know I ask every year but I always think of you and the others in Ozland that don't post so much.

    Well, I don't know what I"m doing wrong, but I STILL can't navigate the map image to where I can actually get a street view of y'all. :( I'm sure it's really stupid/obvious, but for the life of me I can't figure out why I can't navigate that damn map! :(

    Frank said:
    Problem is I can't FIND the logo of which he speaks. I wonder if it's because I'm on a Mac, and he's on a PC maybe? So the view is different? I don't knoooow! :headscratch:

    I am off a wee bit too. It appears I am more in my neighbours yard than in my own. I am more to the right as you look at the map. I have those long strips of plowed gardens in my back yard. Sun is reflecting on my RV and the house.
    But that is ok.... I know where I am at!

    It's probably a Mac-related issue Ronni although I have no way to verify that. Any other Mac users here?

    Thanks for concern everyone, the fires are in the Blue Mountains..west of Sydney and very high above sea level, fire travels 400 times faster up mountains than on the flat so it is scary, 210 homes have been lost, it is really sad,700 miles south from here.
    If you go to site 'find my street' you can see a satellite view of our place, the pictures are about 6-7yrs old but you can see some big trees, under these trees is where I have my plants...I'll show you.
    And by the way that is not me in the front yard...I am much better looking than that woman cleaning pots!LOL

    I think this might be enough for now...maybe another time I can show what is in the shadehouse and some other little parts of my area.

    I just love looking at your tropical garden!
    I can plant some of those things here... but mostly they need to be in pots so they can be moved to a protected location during the winter.
    Glad the fire isn't too near you...but always sorry to hear of it's destruction.

    Now chocolate, Do you think that your neighbor is spraying for bugs out there in your front yard? I am very very gullible but I don't even believe that, I don't think! ;)

    Thank you so so very much for the close shots of your yard and gardens. I for one can't get enough of them or anyone's gardens.
