The Lord is a sun and shield;
    God is favor and glory.
The Lord gives—doesn’t withhold good things
    to those who walk with integrity.

Psalm 84:11

I am going to have to post this next set of photographs today, because there is so much more coming our way, and it’s all interesting. I don’t want to run consistently behind. As much as possible I like to share what is current, and this vacation – wonderful as it was – will quickly fall into the past

So, having written about WATERFALLS, and then MOUNTAINS, this post is MISCELLANEOUS, featuring gem mining, the Jackson County Courthouse, butterflies and more.

These images are all new – I captured them with my Nikon SLR, and I couldn’t access them while we were away.

Enjoy (I will include captions where it helps). We most certainly did – DEREK
