August 7th ~ Operations and Healing
| My
75 year old mother underwent a hip replacement on July 22nd.
Since then, that leg has dislocated three times. Tomorrow she
will undergo a second surgery to adjust the fit of her new socket.
If you see fit, please send some healing energy her way or a
prayer to help the surgeon get it right this time. |

August 4th ~ Nature as a Church
| I've
still got my mind on Colorado. For me, getting out into nature
is a spiritual retreat. I've never felt as connected to God in
a church as I do when I am outdoors. In our magnificent natural
environments, the power of the Great Spirit is everywhere to
behold. |

July 31st ~ Nature
| I've
been back home since early Tuesday morning. I still feel in some
kind of a time warp between the mountains and the coast however.
My body is back to sea level but my head is still in the clouds. |

Quotes on
Nature:
"The
artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and
the adventure of experience in nature." ~ Ansel Adams
"Art
will never be able to exist without nature." ~ Pierre Bonnard
"Nature's
own masterpieces will never go away. If I am able to
cast just a few of them in favorable light, and convince you,
the viewer, to look at them again with greater appreciation and
perhaps a fresh perspective, then I have succeeded as an artist."
~ Scott L. Christensen

July 28h ~ More on Adventure
|
I'm sitting here
in the Denver airport laptopping you from a bar. I've still got
an hour and a half until my flight leaves. Hopefully it will
be a perfect ending to a perfect trip. I've got lots of photos
- over 400 - to inspire me. Here's one taken by my friend, Sally.
Check out the beautiful
photos of her last trip to Greece.
I hope she posts
some of the great shots she got while we were out this week!
