Yikes, if I don’t hurry up with posting Rach and Erik’s visit, I won’t get through it before Henry and Janet are here!
You wouldn’t keep coming back if you were tired of looking at pictures of my favorite people, right?
I’d like to say that it’s a nice, quiet place to contemplate, maybe gain some perspective, but the gang I travel with doesn’t really do “quiet” or “contemplative” all that well. At least not for long stretches.
On the other hand, maybe they do look a little contemplative here in the chapel. Or maybe they just look bored. Hard to tell.
The flowers, meanwhile, are glowing in the sunshine . . .
and the architecture is silhouetted against a brilliant blue sky.
Which brings us to the fountain, yes THAT fountain. No, they weren’t allowed to walk around the edge of it this time.
The boys are looking towards the cemetery, not sure what was so interesting over there just then. But on either side we have an olive tree and some odd-looking flowers.
The first picture, for me, reflects the impressive grandeur of humankind’s creations; whereas the second shows the ultimate splendor of God’s.
A few more flowers and we’re done here. Moving on . . .
Your eye for beauty (both man-made and God's creation) continues to amazing me. And then the faces of those I love just adds to the amazement!
