I like how this picture sort of has a vintage feel. That's great for a vintage place like this.

more fall Tuesday, August 17, 2010 | 1

...what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. - Romans 1:19-20

I think nature speaks to God's existence more loudly in autumn than in any other time. I also love this quote:

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus

And you Carlsbad people, try to enjoy those 99 degree temps forecast for today!

a puzzling post per pig pictures Saturday, August 14, 2010 | 5

I need to start off by saying that I'm sorry if this post doesn't make sense to you. My family is passing around a pig that you don't want to get. While he was at our house, we put him to work - as a trailer chock and a lawn care professional.

a cup of coffee and a sermon on love Wednesday, August 11, 2010 | 0

That's what you're seeing in this picture. This was taken at a church service in Vancouver that takes place on a college campus. This is the pastor and I snuck a quick picture with the camera sitting on the table. I use a SLR, which means that with my camera, I can only see what I am taking a picture of by looking through the viewfinder. So, I took a picture without looking, and then I could see how it looked on my display for the 2 seconds it would show up there. I would then adjust the camera and take another picture. Adjust. Take picture. You get the idea.

And for the record, I don't think it was near as distracting as this post makes it seem like. :-)

a foggy night Monday, August 09, 2010 | 3

Here is a picture taken late one night in Vancouver last February. There was fog moving into harbor and I had to take a picture of it. I didn't have a tripod which was a real shame, because I could have gotten a great shot if I had. As it was, I balanced this on the fence with my hands the best I could and guessed on the length of time for the best exposure. This was a 13 second long exposure, and the camera shook quite a bit (thankfully it's not as noticeable in this smaller blog size). Even though it has some shake and blur, the cool look of the fog over the water is forcing me to post it anyway.

The rings Saturday, August 07, 2010 | 0

This is a picture that I'm sure Alison took since it was taken with her camera. This was the view of the Olympic rings in the Vancouver harbor. That blue building on the right is actually Canada Place, which is where Alison and I left for our Alaska cruise in 2008. And the Olympic cauldron is just to the right of the building, but you can't see it in this picture.

survivors Wednesday, August 04, 2010 | 1

There was a forest fire that swept across this hill about 8 years ago. With the sunrise backlighting them, it is easy to see which trees survived and which did not.

I find this picture peaceful. :-)

Sorry for posting so late today.
