Picture Post, Sunday October 29, 2006

Note: Thanks to all who wrote and said they would pray for Lovely Wife. She's doing pretty well. Still in a fair amount of pain, but is up and about and moving much better than the first couple of days after the surgery.


Today's pics are all over time and space. I've been scanning more slides, so that's what's on the slate for today.

This first photo is of Lovely Wife, taken many years ago in Fort Lauderdale on a trip.

This one is also from that Fort Lauderdale trip. The slide looks almost black and white due to the exposure and the overcast sky, so I went ahead and changed it to a black and white photo. It looks better this way than the color one. I know this slide isn't very special, but at the time, I was totally captivated by the canals and how folks in Ft. Lauderdale could drive their cars into the front of the property and a boat from the rear. So I always loved this photo because it reminded me of some of the beautiful neighborhoods we saw there.

This is the final Ft. Lauderdale photo. It's looking south along the Atlantic coast. I remember how much warmer it was than it had been when we left Louisiana. It seemed delicious to stand in the warm air when a day or two before it was in the 30s (F) in Monroe. The ocean smell was pretty awesome too.

This photo was taken a couple of weeks before the trip to Ft. Lauderdale, and is of Lake D'Arbonne near Farmerville, Louisiana. The lake was frozen for about 50 feet all around the shore. D'Arbonne is a man made lake from damming D'Arbonne Bayou.

This photo was taken at Forsythe Park in Monroe, Louisiana. It's the side of a building for playing handball. I've always like the lines, shadow, and that little Charlie Brown Christmas tree looking tree there.

This last one is of Youger Brother, on his 14th birthday. Living a thousand miles from him gives me the courage to post this. But it's a good visual representation of his sense of humor.
Have a great Sunday. Ours is sunny and in the low 70's with a nice breeze. All the windows are open and the dogs are barking at all the new sounds they can't normally hear.
