A Few Great Men...
Image by: Jennifer Photography
The Library of Congress facade graced by the busts of Demosthenes, Emerson, Irving, Goethe, Franklin, Macaulay, Hawthorne, Scott and Dante. What a wealth of history and knowledge! And don't let that education stuff get in your way...it is one of the most beautiful buildings and is covered in sculptures and works of art.

What are you staring at?...

The ground has now frozen and the furry children have sensed it. Their coats are coming in thicker and they have started the terrible practice of digging holes to keep warm in. That's right...I have fur flying through the house that the vacuum could never keep up with and I have large holes appearing in the yard that we will have to fill in come spring.
For all the hassle...I love the winter and so do they. They are from Siberia {kind of} and the snow is their element. They are made for it.
We love our furry kids!

What's Your Color?
While many people are going Green...tot he extreme, I can't get that into the movement. First of all I'm to scientific minded to believe whole heartedly in global-warming. I see the climate change as a cycle that the Earth goes through and has repeatedly gone through during its life.
That being said, I do believe that it is our moral obligation to not be wasteful and to care for what God has given us. In other words...do what your gonna do, just do it responsibly!
The one thing I do think has gotten out of control is the grocery store plastic bag nightmare. You buy three things and they put them in 3 different bags! Seriously, it is ridiculous! Plastic Bags are cheap for the store and useful around the house, but you only need so many!
So ends my rant...
Head over to Simple Mom and checkout her giveaway for reusable shopping bags!

A tucked away secret...
Image by: Jennifer Photography
We were walking away from the Lincoln and toward the World War II when we saw a small memorial tucked to the side and behind the trees in a small clearing. It was the most beautiful memorial, seemingly forgotten. No one was there. We turned to walk towards it and the sun light hit it...it was gorgeous. We were alone as if this small structure was unimportant. Then we saw that some one had placed a cross and a small US flag in the center of the marble floor. It was a magical moment to pay respect to this neglected, small memorial that was so beautiful and touched by the sun.
It was the District of Columbia War Memorial commemorating the citizens of the District of Columbia who served in World War I. It was overlooked by every one for the larger memorials, but on that Veteran's Day it was where we felt the most thankful for those who had fought for us.
Sorry this didn't get posted...well on Thursday, but better late than never!
So...what have been your most moving moments? Have you found something off the beaten path that meant more to you than the tourist hot spots? Do you like follow the straight line or let life take you where it will?

I'd like to say thank you to our Veterans. You who have sacrificed so much you our freedom...

I took this picture on Veteran's Day in 2005 at the Vietnam War Memorial. In short...it was one of the most moving experiences of my life.
Thank You

The leaves have now fallen to the ground and I have seen the first snow! Not here at home of course, but some good lake effect snow during our travels this weekend!
Do you remember the image from last Friday? Well I saw that exact image {almost...there was no sun shining or blue skies}. Did you see something as exciting this weekend too?
Coming soon...Images of Nephew G!

Where, oh where has the fall weather gone?
Image by: Kevin Monahan Photography
I love fall. It is my favorite time of year! The weather is perfect for a sweater and cuddling...The leaves are gorgeous...
Todays image is from a fall wedding {find it here} and I am jealous. I always wanted a fall wedding, but it didn't fit into a school schedule. The pumpkin decorations alone would be worth an exchange of fall vows!

Are we reaching the top? Or have we reached the pinnacle and are now falling back down?
This is just a gorgeous and simple image.

To quote Galerius and the Edict of Tolerance...
"...wherefore, for this our indulgence, they ought to pray to their God for our safety, for that of the republic, and for their own, that the republic may continue uninjured on every side, and that they may be able to live securely in their homes."
I am unsure if this is even possible for the future of our nation.
With the prospect of the Fairness Doctrine, gun control (bans and limitations), and the plan Obama has for a Domestic Military aren't you unsure too? The Fairness Doctrine can take away the right to free speech...Gun control takes away our right to bear arms (Key to our nation...our ability to protect ourselves from wrong doers and an oppressive government)...and to top it off...a home military force to control and suppress the people (who can no longer fight back).
The denial of these key rights of the people has always marked to down turn of the best nations throughout history. In the past these down turns have been forced on the people, but what is more disturbing has been when the people elect and choose these rights to be taken.
On this day, after a monumental election day I am glad to say congratulations to the African American community for achieving the White House.
But...I am also sad to add, at what cost? The ideas proposed by him (if carried through) sound more like the USSR than the USA and for that I am sad and unsure of the future of this great nation.
I am also disappointed in the "youth of our nation", of which I am embarrassed to call myself a part. You have voted in record number without being informed and knowledgeable of the decision you were making.
I can on pray for today's "youth"...Lord forgive them for they know not what they do...to this nation.

Are you doing your duty?
Are you doing your duty? Leave early today and go vote! So many have sacrificed their health, freedom, and lives to protect your right to vote. The right to vote is the most important liberty that we have been given, it is our freedom to choose our leaders, please exercise it!
Have you decided? Are you still undecided? (if you are, you should read my blogs here, here, and here) Are you voting?
