Monday Walkabout : Black and White Edition
Downtown Fredericksburg is an eclectic town filled with historic architecture, tatoo parlors, beautiful murals, antique shops and seriously fantastic food. And yet, you can still find a place a to park. Even better! I started out this day with a view of the steeple from St. George’s Episcopal Church. The current structure dates…

Sometimes you have to get sneaky with old dogs.
Getting a picture of this dog is not an easy thing. She’s smart and she doesn’t like the flash. At 14 she’s learned a few things. As soon as you raise the camera to your eye she gets up and is on her way out of the room. She just won’t put up with having…

Be Still and know that I am God.
Conference still has one more session, but I have to say that I feel as if I have already been so nourished that I might burst. I needed this, more than words can express. With Easter coming I may have other thoughts, but for now I will simply quote a scripture that was quoted in…
