sculpture

sculpture in park i've been trying to shoot, has been too cold, park is on top of a hill.

i've been taking a look at facebook, thanks to my daughter helping me figure it out.

sunset

caught this on way home friday evening, have seen some beautiful sunrises and sunsets on way to work, but most of the time too dangerous to stop the car to take photos

still waiting

but at least it is sunny today, wind chill 7 degrees

is it spring yet?

productive day

flowers that d and k sent me for valentines day. i was really surprised didn't expect them at all. valentines day was productive. had some medical test done, then spent 2 hours trying to install new bathtub spout, went to dance class, spent 2 more hours installing spout again, kept leaking, finally got it fixed without busting a water pipe in wall, went to church and came home to collapse. expect I'll be sore on Sunday. My old body is not used to so much activity!

saturday

first class of belly dancing, i'm so glad to be back! felt good to move, even though today i'm a little sore. i was engergized by the class yesterday

grandpa b's

grandpa b's house, old family home, before it was torn down by the airport authority. just one of the family's homes that the airport tore down. all most every house and every school in my life was torn down by the airport. every home my kids lived in has been torn down by the airport. i can never take my grandkids and show them where i grew up or where their parents grew up. all this was to create a new runway for safety, but since twa turned into american airlines and then the bottom dropped out of air travel, the runway isn't even used! so many lifes disrupted and lives turned upside down. a city destroyed.

barn and silo

one of the first photos i took with a digital camera. this barn and silo is on my way to work, to the left of the barn is a new church that is about 3 years old. day is super bowl sunday, i'm not much of a football fan, i go to super bowl parties for the people and food. i do hope the cardinals win because of Kurt Warner
