Another coach added to BlueBirdZoom - Fred Bellows - 04-22-2009 10:57 Check out the newest photo album, added to BlueBirdZoom, the Picasa photo slideshow site that is just for the 'Birds: http://picasaweb.google.com/bluebirdzoom It is Blue Thunder! The coach with about as many dishes on the roof, as in the galley! ...then give your coach it's 15 minutes of fame too, by clicking around in your photo folders, and sending in a few snapshots of your 'Bird. __________________ Fred & Wendy Bellows Queen Creek, AZ (basically Phx) '90 SP36 "Maunder Maximum" photos of coach and upgrades current location Another coach added to BlueBirdZoom - Bob Lawrence - 04-22-2009 12:20 Hi Fred, Looks like I screwed up.

You can look at the photos in medium size, large or original size.

Looks like I put them under the wrong Picasa site anyways. Didn't know we could post pics of our travels on this photo storage. Just thought it was for projects only.

I'd love to see it. You should add the url to your signature so that everyone can check it out, and when they read a post of yours discussing some aspect of your coach, they can instantly click thru and see or remember just what it's like. You can leave it on your picasa page along with your other family photo albums, and we can just duplicate your `bird one onto the bluebirdzoom site. Then you can decide which link to include in a signature. Your personal one for your family/friends email (as if any of us have any friends outside the BB community!?), and the one to your bbzoom album when you're on the forum(s). The idea of compiling everyone's albums together is to create a vast collection many many Blue Birds in condensed photo albums, of hi-res picts that show off the positive aspects of the coaches. And present a more general description of the coach, not photos of a broken part, looking for help identifying it, or even snapshots of last weeks' rally, since the forums already serve that purpose very well. But more an emphasis on polished coaches, road ready, posed for photos, and celebrating the positive side of life with these glorious machines. Some with a beautiful sunset behind, some with people sitting, eating, drinking, laughing, and also some close ups of some of the many wonderful details that make a BB so terrific, including upgrades and projects, but finished, successful enhancements, shown after they're done, using the few best shots that show the steps taken to complete them, and not all of the technical info added on exactly how to do it. Not to gloss over or hide the fact that these vehicles need maintenance, and that this all takes a lot of work, but just a place to go to relax and enjoy all the best stuff the hobby provides, in just a couple dozen or so picts that gives a synopsis of what that coach is like. And then to be able to add the (fairly short and easy to remember) link to your album, onto your signature you use in the forums, and sometimes in emailing friends and family. Forum photo features can't do this, because they require membership, and besides, they are nowhere near as powerful and pleasant to use as Picasa. Another goal of this feature is to be absolutely inclusive of anything that says Blue Bird on it, and can be universally attended by every BB owner no matter what particular forum(s) they may hang out on the most. Like Vintage Birds, this will be an open resource for all to see. No sign up or membership is needed to view, leave comments, or even submit photos for posting. Wannabes welcome. Let's show off a bit, and maybe it'll even help increase the value of our coaches! We've known our coaches are special, vintage treasures, but now with the BB factory closed, they are now officially collectable, unique, rare, and de-facto, more valuable. We should be aware that with several of the high-end coach makers closing, that once the economy recovers a bit, our classic `Birds will be in demand as people seek out high end RV's again, and yet hardly any new ones will be available! So let's have, by then, a great place for a potential coach buyer (weighing BB vs SOB), to see just what it is that we are so fanatical about. But mostly it will be a wonderful place we can go, to see what the other members of our BB Family have done, get ideas on what we can do, and to live vicariously when we're unable to get out and play with our coaches! \/\/\…Fred __________________ Fred & Wendy Bellows Queen Creek, AZ (basically Phx) '90 SP36 "Maunder Maximum" photos of coach and upgrades current location [url=http://www.bbirdmaps.com/user1.cfm?user=125][/url]
