THOSE WHO KNOW ME WELL, KNOW I AM A LOVER OF TREES. I ESPECIALLY YEARN TO FIND THE
FACES THAT CAN BE SEEN, I BELIEVE, IN EVERY TRUNK. JUST SO YOU KNOW, THERE WILL BE FACES HERE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO SEE CLEARLY. (I hope, she said.)

WALK AT THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE CLOSE:
ANOTHER THING MY GOOD FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT ME IS THAT I LOVE WORKING ON PERSONAL "PROJECTS"
THAT, HOPEFULLY, ARE HELPFUL TO THOSE I TARGET. YOU WILL SEE MANY PHOTOS OF RELEVANT SOCIAL EVENTS TO WHICH I AM CONNECTED.
YOU WILL BE INTRODUCED TO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN PURSUIT OF IDEALS AND GOALS I WISH TO CONTRIBUTE TO IN SOME WAY.

I HAVE A SMALL BUT MIGHTY FAMILY, AND I LIKE TO SHOW THEM OFF IN ANY WAY I CAN, ESPECIALLY
VIA MY NIKON CAMERA!
Here's my young stepsister, Catherine and her friend with Nico on the lanai at my place. It was great to see Catherine
after, um, how many years? Maybe 35 years? Yikes!
You know - I am really, really pro the use of alternative sources of energy, but on the way to see Earth, Wind and Fire
at Maryhill in September, I was shocked to see many hundreds of the above dotting the land as far as the eye could see.
It was a bit daunting. I wondered about our feathered friends and how they were doing in this brave new experiment in
feeding our greed for energy. This photo perfectly displays my trepidation.
Here is the embodiment of the spirit of Mary's
tree. It was badly damaged in our recent storm had to be taken down recently. We are very sad about
this but remembered its grace and beauty through the photos I took for the memorial Mary had in celebration of its
life.
