Analemmatic Sundial

Stand on a tile with the name of the current month, and your shadow will tell the time.  Very cool . . . I tried it, and it works! 

I went scouting for new locations to shoot senior pictures this afternoon.  It was a beautiful day.     As I walked through the park, I kept thinking, "This is so cool.  I'm out walking in the park on a gorgeous day -- and this is my WORK!    HA!  Life is good."

"Sometimes it seems like God is difficult to find and impossibly far away. We get so caught up in our small daily duties and irritations that they become the only things that we can focus on. What we forget is that God's love and beauty are all around us, every day, if only we would take the time to look up and see them. " --  Matthias, Correction Weblog, 11-01-03

At the Mall -- Continued

(Edit added for John)  The mall has a little screen on the floor with video games projected on it.  I couldn't really tell if it was interactive or if it just changed and moved randomly, but the kids were having a blast jumping around on the different characters and color blocks.

Hope in the Shadows

Yesterday Kim asked about Grace, the beautiful Kildeer mother whose nest I had been watching.  I wish I had a real  answer to report, but here's what I do know.

Her nest had been smack dab in the middle of our church parking lot (Grace Fellowship www.whatisgrace.org) -- hence her name.    Some other members had spotted her first, stacked some rocks nearby and marked the area with traffic cones to keep her safe.  I think everyone who saw her enjoyed showing her to their kids and talking about the wonders God puts into our lives.    

Over the Fourth of July weekend, someone had moved one of her markers and used it to set off fireworks. I replaced it once,  but the next day the parking lot was littered with even more firework debris and her markers had all been moved to the end of the parking lot.  There was no trace of Gracie or her eggs.

I really felt low that morning because I THINK some neighborhood kids may have  destroyed her nest.  I HOPE, however, that Grace's eggs hatched before I expected them to and that somewhere in the little drainage ditch that runs by the parking lot she  and her friend, Charity, are living happily with  Love, Joy, Peace, Hope and older cousin Chiclet.

I have yet to post the last pictures of Chiclet, but will get them up and let you all know soon.

Sure do wish they'd eat the fruit before it goes bad.   That banana just couldn't hang in any longer.  Sometimes I feel like we're building a very expensive compost pile out back.    

The fallen banana wasn't a lost cause.  I ate it and it was fine.  Just wish I liked bananas.

Think of the potential.  What will it become?
