Little Camera Surprise

I have a small camera that I use occasionally.  I don't clean it off very often.  So when I get the photos it is a bit of a surprise what I may find. 

Remember 9/11 part 2

When I returned to my folder holding over 400 pictures from the Healing Fields, I wasn't ready to let it go. The day started early with a service in the morning. Every hour taps was played. The Healing Fields is in the landing flight pattern of the airport and in my mind the jets are a major memory of the day. That evening speeches were given that I couldn't hear. (Hearing aides still has many limitations.) Patriotic songs were played on a trumpet. Haunting and beautiful. Finally bagpipes played a last farewell with the audience holding candles standing next to the flags. I hope this series will convey the feelings I had while I cried and took pictures.

Cloudy skies

Clouds. I love them. Stormy, fluffy, whispy, swirling, whatever. Mix them with sunlight and they create some amazing pictures.

Quote for my picture

I searched the web for a quote I heard years ago that seemed to suit this picture.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Peking, February 1934, "The Evolution of Chastity" in Toward the Future, London: Collins, 1975: 86-87.

Great Balls of Fire

Occasionally I know in advance that elements are coming together for something amazing. Clouds, sunset, and Arizona dust produce a spectacular sunset. It turned out better than I expected.
