bird out my window

I saw this bird out my window the other day. Hawk? I don't know what it is, but I thought it was cool.

fall MN

I do have to give credit to MN for the lovely fall colors. I played with this photo, too.

let's try something

I finally got a friend to inform me on the use of watermarks, so I'm trying this and let's see how it looks. Thanks, Mc, for the help! This was from my candidacy retreat last December, out in the hill country.

happy tower

I saw this near Bastrop headed down 71...I thought it was pretty awesome. Nothing better than a friendly water tower.

Luther Seminary

These are my favorite photos so far from my visit to Luther Seminary in Minnesota for the January term. I miss my Nikon D200, this is taken with a smaller camera, still nice but not quite as fabulous as the big one. Snow has been amazing, and a great new experience.

finally!

I have wanted a photo of this bridge for a long time. The problem is, I'm usually driving when I go across it, so I cannot really drive and take a picture lest I find myself no longer on the bridge at all. However, on Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to cross the bridge and be a passenger, and snagged this shot. It crosses the Colorado River with business 71 in La Grange. Now I finally have a photo of it, and I am excited.

flying bug!

We found this once, having heard it was out in the county somewhere, so we finally got the chance to take a photo of it. Yes, it's a bug in a tree. It also has Christmas lights on it, although you can't really tell from the photo here. I don't quite know how they got that up there, but we heard it's been there for a while. Pretty awesome.
