Less Than a Week

Take a tree, an ornament and some colored lights. Do a little bit of manipulation with Paint Shop Pro. Even a simple white dove grows in intensity- and even perhaps hope?

Flag and Leaves

Tomorrow is Election Day, 2008. It may be the greatest act of patriotism we have available to all of us. This flag along the Cannon Valley Trail in eastern Minnesota is our reminder of who we are and the great responsibility we have to vote.

Channel of Water

When the Moors, a desert people, came to Spain they were entranced by the possibility of water being abundant. Here in Segovia one can see some of the ways that water can be channeled in that Moorish tradition. More pictures of this will be seen when I post some from the Alhambra.
