Interesting shot. Makes me wonder what she is reaching for. I also like the little floral detail.

I think it looks like the angel is climbing. Notice, no wings, otherwise it would fly up instead.

Hi Ellen — Happy WW/WT! I remember Venice, it is a nice little town. I especially remember the beach, the vendors behind the beach, and a 1960s Chevy Nova in a used car lot.

This niece sure is cute, she may not be as cute as your daughter.

I hope you enjoyed your stay in Texas. We live on down I-45, exit 91 or 92 or so, in the hills 45 miles north of downtown Houston. Next time you guys could stay with us, we have a nice guest room.
I’ll check for your Texas pictures. We aren’t real fond of Dallas, it is a hard city to get around in.

Thanks for the wish on the “Little Blog.” It has been around two years and a half so 1000 isn’t going to set a record, but it has kept me busy.

The shrimp boil was last Saturday night. About 70 of us from Mrs. Jim’s Sunday school class and guests were there in our friend’s back yard.

You’d a’ been invited if we knew you were here!

Cemetery sounds scary but this picture is so serene.

Is it a fear of falling or of letting go?

Great catch, Happy WW!

what is she doing…?
why so much beauty in a cemetery I wonder?
They are often so well manicured, too.

I love cemetery pictures. I don’t know why, but I do. This one is just great.

Here is my WW post for today.

Have a great WW day!

A peaceful picture .. like she is determinedly climbing Heaven wards !

I enjoy reading headstones in older cemetaries. Nowadays, cemetaries are neat rows of tiny plastic flower vases.

Is she climbing up or possiby escaping the cemetary? Hmm.

Great photo. I can’t decide if she is hanging on for dear life or trying to climb there faster.
