Picking Up Leaves

Leaves are fascinating, especially at age two and a half.

A Trail in Winter

With a little bit of increased saturation, the contrasts become clearer. This trail is at our Moravian camp at Mt. Morris, WI.

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to all!

Back next week.

Christmas Eve

To us a child is born, to us a son is given... the Prince of Peace.

A Sunday Bonus at Christmas

Tis the Sunday before Christmas. This is the Berea Moravian Church outside St. Charles, MN with its Moravian Star highlighted by the bunting and accenting the organ pipes.

Christmas on the Tree

Simplicity can have its own special beauty. A little manipulating with Paint Shop Pro and a dull picture of the angel on our tree has a different look.

La Giralda

This is the tower next to/part of the cathedral in Seville. It was originally built by the Moors and then used by the Christians after the conquest. Later I will have some pictures from the top.

A Dog- or a Lion?

Today I begin a regular series of pictures from Spain, from a trip we took in 2002. From Seville, I couldn't resist taking a picture of this wonderful looking dog. Or is it a small lion?

Hiatus Not Due to Writer's Strike

No, I am just overwhelmed with moving so I have not had a chance to get pictures ready to post for a couple weeks. I promise to return with thrice-weekly pictures beginning December 3. See you then.

[Update: Didn't make the Dec. 3 deadline due to moving. Will be back on Dec. 10 with some pictures from Spain.]

Veteran's Day

My father's grave, a veteran's grave, in Jersey Shore, PA, cemetery. He didn't die in WW II where he was a medical corpsman, but a piece of him did. War does awful things to everyone involved. Today let us give thanks for those who were willing to take all those risks and serve. May we always welcome them home with support and love.

Sun and Water

I found this particular way of editing this picture kind of interesting. It was much more of a silhouette originally with the sunset in the distance there. But upping saturation and playing with other things added some interest.
