The Hunt for Baby Kittens
May 26, 2012
On a farm, there is no force of nature more determined than a child searching for a new litter of kittens.

April 27, 2012
This picture shows my cousin and some of his friends setting up their hot air balloons. This photo was taken on the day of his mother’s (my aunt’s) funeral.

April 7, 2012
My sons and I visited Washington, D.C. recently. We were lucky enough to visit the Vietnam War Memorial right at sunset and during a time when there were few people at the memorial. I have visited the wall many times, but never appreciated the reflective nature of the granite until I got to view it … More Photo Friday April 6, 2012
