Capital - Washnigton DC

Our great capital representing the freedom this country offers to everyone who enters.  The outside represents beauty, craftsmanship, and respect for our country.  Just don't go in as all of that changes.

Fountain in Seattle

Beautiful fountain in Seattle Washington that shows a boy reaching for his dad and the fountain changes the view by hiding the dad and then hiding both.

Ship Dock in Antwerp

Ship loading dock in Antwerp Belgium.  This looks like a castle, but is actually a ship loading down on the backside.  Buildings are built to stay in these countries unlike here where they are built as cheap as possible.

Tulip fields in the spring

Spring time brings out the wonderful colors that nature provides us.  Tulips have a special meaning to me ... winter is over.

All by myself

Stop and look at the littlest flowers around you.  This flower was growing all alone in a park near our house. I wanted this photo to show the importance of each living thing on this earth.

Glass flowers

While visiting Seattle Washington we toured a glass museum that had beautiful art work inside and out.  This setting was glass flowers with such brilliant colors in a dark room that it just drew you into the art work.

Indian Head - Hocking Hills Ohio

See if you can find the Indian head formation in the rock.  This trail was called Indian Head trail due to this rock sticking out of the side of the hill.

Bridge to Castle

A bridge in Germany that has a drop of over 1500 feet directly into a waterfall at the bottom part of the picture.  There are only wood planks with spaces between each so you can see down to the bottom.  I am standing at the castle that this mountain protects and this bridge was the only entrance to the place.

Water fall - Hocking Hill Ohio

Another waterfall at the end of the trail.  This took us to a dead end but the sound of the water fall was amazing and there was plenty of room to sit and visit for a while in the shade.  I remember this spot so well because I lost my lens cap.  :-(

Water Fall - Hocking Hills Ohio

Another waterfall view from Hocking Hills path.  The paths provide several relaxing stopping points along the trail for picnics.

Silver Dollar City entrance

Antique look within Silver Dollar City.  I love this place! It takes you back 100 years when life was peaceful and people either worked or bartered to live instead of taking the lesser path today and steal or kill from people who do work hard for what they have.

Marvel Cave - Branson Missouri

Marvel Cave located within Silver Dollar City in Branson Missouri provides some beautiful light beams from above when the sun is in the right location in the sky.  This was taken about 100 feet down and another 400 feet to go.

Jesus - Antwerp Belgium

In Antwerp Belgium sits a church in the middle of the square surrounded by buildings for protection.  The church was started in 1500's and added on several times through the centuries. Yes... centuries.  Within the church is the cross and it was an amazing feeling to look up and see this huge representation of Jesus. In the 1500's this meant so much to the world and today it is becoming more of a curse.  I hope people see the relevance of the cross as they people did back then and stop bringing more evil into the world.

Paris France

As we exited the railway in Paris we walked up stairs and to our left was this statue.  It was surrounded by people riding bikes and having a snack in the middle of town.  I walked over to take a picture and the group right in front just happened to get up and begin riding again.  The architecture in this area is amazing.

Home Alone Fan? Statue from the movie

Here is the statue from the movie home alone when he is running from the two guys.  Right in front of this is the tunnel he runs through and the 20-30 stairs that get you there.  Behind the statue is a park where we saw another couple taking a boat ride after getting married in the park.
