My first bird photos of the winter – enjoy!
So birds. I haven’t had the time lately to watch and take photos. But yesterday and today there has been such a flurry of activity around our feeder I had to set aside five minutes and grab some photographs. My favorite shots are action. Birds in the air – flying, landing, taking off – are…

Again, as is my practice most every Friday, I want to add some beauty and positivity to the end of what has – once again – been a challenging and difficult week. I am leading with this image of our grandson, Mr. T., who seems to be enjoying Dresden’s cold, snowy Eastern European winter with…

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. – Romans 13:8 To be honest, I am a little concerned about my attention span.

We all need a little mercy now…
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
