Well, want to see an ugly one? This is a photo of my old Ford truck in my backyard. I only use this truck during the summer and then Fall (salmon fishing (dipnet), and moose hunting). It's full of rust, but has an excellent powertrain, and starts on the first try after the snow up on top melts

Thank you! You are right I catch onto english strange words such as "awesome". There are such strange russian words like it too  . It will be in russian slang of youth as "потрясно !" ( it is pronounced as "potryasno!"). Then this occasion I would like to ask. What is the most correct word as determination for wolf - "f ierce" or "ferocious" ?
Of course I will keep sharing and try talking with you as I can.

Both work, fierce and ferocious have almost the same meaning.

My first photographic addition to this thread. I know it's not up to the quality of most but some day I'll upgrade from my pocket POS point and shoot to the D40. Pioneer Peak from the front porch of the home I was staying at last week.

I too am looking at a D40, but if upgrade to something else are lenses still interchangeable, I would assume so....  Ferious, ferocious...beautiful with the flowers, and that was one nasty snow....
