Thanks for that Karen, I was always frustrated that Google didn't have any good images over my way.

Hey, that's kind of fun. Hadn't looked at this in a while. If I zoom in 100% I can see the horses in the pasture. :-)

Nothing too interesting here. I can see the mall from the end of my driveway. The bright side is it can't get built up much more unless they rezone my street and put a convenience store in the field behind my house.

I tried the bird's eye view on Bing, but they don't seem to have my area covered by it yet.

Google maps is fun. I can see one of my neighbors has a very big back yard. But this map is old, there are no trees. The oak tree in my front yard is taller than the house.

I think the rest of us just did a screen grab, then cropped it and put it in our portfolios.

Just out of curiosity...why would you want to broadcast the exact location - with a picture - of your home in a public forum? If I was a crook/burglar I would now know exactly where to find some pretty nice camera equipment. Call it far fetched if you will, but based on a string of recent burglaries in the area this is pretty much exactly/very, very similar to how the burglar targeted the homes he hit.

How do you do a screen shot? I can't remember.

Using Windows I presume? Alt-PrtScn copies the contents of the current window to the clipboiard. Use Ctrl-V to paste it into your image editor.

'PrntScrn' will work by itself. I've not tried it using the 'Alt' key combo.

The only differencs is that PrntScrn grabs the entire display, The alt key makes it capture only the current window. Makes it neater and easier if you only wanted the one window.

BTW, Win7 finally integrates a screen grabber called the "snipping tool". There are many free screenshot utilities as well that you can add into earlier Windows versions. I still seem to be partial to doing a printscreen however.

Not real close up, but I do have an awesome "backyard" to play in.
