Has anyone else noticed the beautiful skies in a lot of the recent pics that have been put up? This one is no exception, and definitely helps to create the peaceful scene that ChuPat has sent us. It is most definitely serene from the nicely patterned, smooth colorful valley with the meandering stream on the right, travelling down right to the background and encasing that cool hill beside it....just save me a seat by those lush evergreens, and I'll be a happy camper..beautiful...excellent job :)PJ

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

What matters at this precious moment is what has always mattered: the dailiness of life. Everything significant is small and slow.

Good heavens Chuck, this came up on the front page and I says to meself, why didn't I receive a notification of this post? Well, because I failed to add you to my "Friends"List. I do apologize and that will be rectified. I'll check your gallery and make sure I didn't miss any more. This is indeed "drop-dead' gorgeous as one person put it. It's a keeper. Great work.
