A Pistol With One Shot

Ecstatically shooting everything in sight using my beloved Nikon D3100 with AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR kit lens and AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 G prime lens.

Also capturing outrageous beauty left and right with my Nikon D7000 blissfully married to my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D AF prime glass. Don't be jeal.

And then there was the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f:3.5-5.6G ED VR II zoom. We're done here.

REMEMBRANCE

When I am gone

Please remember me

 As a heartfelt laugh,

 As a tenderness.

 Hold fast to the image of me

When my soul was on fire,

The light of love shining

Through my eyes.

Remember me when I was singing

And seemed to know my way.

Remember always

When we were together

And time stood still.

Remember most not what I did,

Or who I was;

Oh please remember me

For what I always desired to be:

A smile on the face of God.

You Want To Find This
The Promise Of Redemption

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

II Corinthians 4

THE DREAMERS

In the dawn of the day of ages,
 In the youth of a wondrous race,
 'Twas the dreamer who saw the marvel,
 'Twas the dreamer who saw God's face.


On the mountains and in the valleys,
By the banks of the crystal stream,
He wandered whose eyes grew heavy
With the grandeur of his dream.

The seer whose grave none knoweth,
The leader who rent the sea,
The lover of men who, smiling,
Walked safe on Galilee --

All dreamed their dreams and whispered
To the weary and worn and sad
Of a vision that passeth knowledge.
They said to the world: "Be glad!

"Be glad for the words we utter,
Be glad for the dreams we dream;
Be glad, for the shadows fleeing
Shall let God's sunlight beam."

But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,
The world with its cares grows old;
The night, with the stars that gem it,
Is passing fair, but cold.

What light in the heavens shining
Shall the eye of the dreamer see?
Was the glory of old a phantom,
The wraith of a mockery?

Oh, man, with your soul that crieth
In gloom for a guiding gleam,
To you are the voices speaking
Of those who dream their dream.

If their vision be false and fleeting,
If its glory delude their sight --
Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten
The long, dark hours of night.

> Edward Sims Van Zile <

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

With love from flyover country

DateFriday, August 24, 2012 at 03:44PM

It's a happy day for me when once again my lipstick decorates the lip of a mug full of hot and fragrant Tim Hortons coffee.

As much as I love that whole Southern thing -- and it's not put-on; I really do love it -- I also like certain things only found above the Sweet Tea Line.

Tim Hortons would be one of those things.

Always Fresh!

TG, Audrey, and I arrived in Northwest Ohio -- TG is a native son -- yesterday to visit with my mother-in-law and assorted other relatives, and to attend the wedding of our nephew.

Justin will wed the lovely Ashlee at two-thirty tomorrow afternoon in Peru, Indiana.

Since my mother-in-law's domicile is not equipped with wireless Internet, during jaunts like these in order to get our online fix, Audrey and I are dependent on snack joints that offer free WiFi.

We've been in the region for twenty-four hours and the good folks at Tim Hortons practically know us by name.

Yesterday evening -- before going to Tim Hortons -- we drove around town for a bit. I'm taking pictures for a specific project and we went here and there for that purpose.

For example: Go right now and look at the corners of your automobile windshield! Chances are if your car is newer, you'll see the word Pilkington in one of its corners.

Here's where that glass was most likely made:

It used to be Libbey-Owens-Ford, known colloquially for decades in these parts as LOF.

So now you know.

Audrey and I have had fun hanging out today. She briefly turned into an alien (see above) and because I am on the ball as an amateur photographer, I got the shot.

The next time I looked, she was again normal. I cannot explain it.

As per usual I am laughing at something she said, and there are hearts dancing about my head.

And now I am due at TG's alma mater for a photo session.

Happy Weekend!

Audrey is just beautiful - and she even looks good as an alien! I've never been to Tim Horton's but my time is coming because one is being built right in my town! So - when you make that trip to visit me some day, you can get your fix.
Have fun at the wedding!

OK, what exactly was in your coffee when you took that first shot of Audrey? Fess up, LOL!

Have a wonderful time.

Glad you are having fun getting pictures for your project. I know it will be beautiful just like the two ladies featured in this post. Stay safe and have a good trip back to Folgers Black Silk country.....................G.

We're back from touring the Gulf, just in time to dodge Isaac. I may need to go on a diet and spend all my time on the treadmill after all the good food we had.

Beautiful inside and out, that is what your family is and I know you are so proud.
