A Few of My Favorites

A couple of my favorites from the Fourth of July. The second one was a complete accident but I think it's really awesome.




The next few are from camp. I walked down to the lake during my second session to see if i could get any better sunset pictures. It was pretty cloudy but I got a few.

I found this stump that had drifted to shore overnight really neat.


This is a picture of The "Cathedral" that I referred to in a previous post. Pictures really don't do it justice. It's a fairly steep slope down to a cross (you can barely see it here). The "pews" are railroad ties that are set in the ground. It's really very pretty.
And, last but not least, what would a photo tour of Camp Judson be without a stop at the prayer tower. Soon, it'll have fresh artwork on the walls inside.

Those Summer Nights

Let me start by saying that I realize the temperatures are by no means hot compared to other parts of the country. I get that. We've lived in San Antonio. You don't have to explain to me what 100*+ feels like.

Let me continue by saying that if this was as good as summer got, then I'm good. I'm sweating my tooshie off!

All winter long we thought that the temperatures were pretty reasonable. There were even a couple of days when we cracked a window. I'm not sure if this was due to the fact that it was actually nice out or because the rest of the family insisted on keeping the thermostat at nearly 78*!!!

I now have confirmation that my blood is, indeed, still thick. I guess that's what three years in Alaska will do to you, right?
