And the angel answered and said to her,

"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35 NKJV

I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.

Commenting Ideas
  • If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
  • If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
  • If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
  • If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
  • It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.

Hey daisies, I very much enjoyed working with this one. These are all from my first experience as a photographer. So, uh, the originals need help!

Fortunately my Photoshop skills have caught up and now I can turn some pretty awful captures into something I even enjoy. And I am VERY picky.

Some of these are only 3mpx images but usually just a little kick to the saturation and a small tweak to the curve and they look great for the monitor.

Some have needed a lot more work because I didn't know how to work w/o a flash and how to hold the camera as level as possible to avoid lens distortion.

I just couldn't believe how beautiful the colors turned when I tweaked this one. All the wallpaper in the house had a very slight shimmer. At some point I will post some drawings I captured that depict the house -- mansion really -- at it's various stages of life. It was so beautiful.

Can you tell I miss the place? I still have no idea if the b&b is still operational. There was talk of selling it when we were last there.

sigh ... ok well ...

    Why does this Site Exist?
    10/26/06
    My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.

    But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
