I took this picture this morning as the giant yellow moon slunk down on the horizon. Then, I stylized the picture in photoshop. Isn't it cool how it looks like needlepoint?

Cruising through our pasture.

As I head into town yesterday morning, I saw these three, a mother and her twins. They were dangerously close to the edge of the road. I'm glad I waited until they moved across the fence and farther away from the road, since a huge truck came up fast behind me. The twins could have been scared and jumped right in front of that truck whose driver was oblivious to the wildlife around him.

I just received this most beautiful handcrafted bracelet as a gift! KelleRene who is a Christian friend of mine on etsy created this jeweled faith charm bracelet. It has all ten commandments written on little scrolls, pearls, colored jewels and the cross. The clasp is a beautiful pearl clasp that holds it all together. The symbology all around touches my heart so much. I especially love the clasp that represents to me The Pearl of great wisdom holding the Law, the Way in His Word all together.

I caught this picture of the sun rising over a little church this morning. I like how the sun is so bright above the steeple of this old time church. I played with color balance and brightened this photo a bit.
