Water Safety Class

 It was a beautiful day for this water safety class.  
I couldn't help but capture some images 
from the day!

    

Free Burma Ranger Event

From their site :

"The Free Burma Rangers' (FBR) mission is to provide hope, help and love to internally displaced people inside Burma, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Using a network of indigenous field teams, FBR reports on human rights abuses, casualties and the humanitarian needs of people who are under the oppression of the Burma Army. FBR provides medical, spiritual and educational resources for IDP communities as they struggle to survive Burmese military attacks."

More information can be found at:

 "The purpose of this event was to provide updates on the situation inside Burma, as well as network, pray and discuss how you can get involved."

It was a privilege to be a part of this exercise. 

I urge you to check out  their website and learn more.

The Building of a Chapel Part 1

Recently, I have had the pleasure to be a part of a special project...The building of a chapel for the marriage of a daughter.  This labor of love is a precious thing to help with and observe.  It is ...in many ways ...the beginning of something beautiful.

Ah, to build, to build! 

That is the noblest art of all the arts. 

Painting and sculpture are but images, 

Are merely shadows cast by outward things....

Court of Honor

This image is of my son. He advanced to the rank of 2nd class in Boy Scouts. It was a great evening. He also received several merit badges including one that goes toward Eagle.

We had a great garden this summer. I guess it is finally over. Time to prepare for next year.

Procrastination always forces me to create my daily image at dusk. It doesn't matter, the light is beautiful at dusk. When the season changes, things that were once in splendor droop away to translucent has beens preparing for a different phase of life. Winter is coming on, and the woods are getting ready. They have dropped most of their leaves exposing every flaw, but blanketing the ground for a new sub-culture of activity. Nature takes advantage of every moment.
