Shiloh Christian Church

It was a gorgeous day in Shiloh, perfect for late afternoon photography, and the Shiloh Christian Church looked bright and pretty sitting up on the hill in the sunlight.

What a difference the flip of a switch makes (or actually, the tap on the keyboard).

Which one srikes your fancy? ย And don’t you just love the shadows on the walls?

Another Gift of Blogging Connections

One day last week I stopped by my friend Joe’s blog and saw a photo that I loved so much, all I could say wasย “Dang, Joe! Just DANG”!

Yeah … I have such a way with words ๐Ÿ™‚

I fell in love with that photo and I told Joe so. ย One week later, a beautiful framed copy was hanging on my wall. ย My whole staff came in to view and admire it and I could not be happier.

Joe is a guy who has transcended blogger status and become a friend, and I hope to travel up north to meet him, and his wife, some day. ย We share messages via WP, FB, and email, and Joe is helping me to wade through the ocean of information about cameras, computers, and software.ย If you haven’t visited his blog, please do so!! ย This link will take you to the original view of the photo.

It’s not just Joe and his wife that I’d love to meet though. ย I’ve been telling Boomdee, and Crystalย and Lianaย and Lyndaย and Mikeย and Maeย (and so many others of you!),ย that we need to have a big ol blogging cocktail party somewhere in the middle of North America and invite everyone to come! ย No worries, my overseas friends, we’ll charter a plane to get you here, too.

Hey … a gal can dream can’t she?

December Rain

This photo was actually taken last December while I was at a dead stop on the interstate during an ice storm. ย There were no complaints from me that day, though. ย I had heat, water, snacks, my blackberry, my camera, and no pressing business. ย  It wasn’t a bad way to spend a few hours.

We’re expecting similar weather later this weekend.

Stay warm and dry, my friends.

Luck of the Dog!

What a lucky guy!!

He rides around in this padded cart and his motorcycle drivers told us that they go nowhere without him.

004

I’m telling you … it was so cozy in there, I almost wanted to get in there with him and ride along!

Isn’t he a sweet old guy?

005

And since my camera is in the shop (no photography) and my bike is totaled (no rides- are you feeling sorry me yet ๐Ÿ™‚ ) I’m finally posting these photos which have been in draft since September.
