No! I didn't. I'm going to have to see if I can find it. I've been watching the series on the US Public Broadcast System and it's jumped around a bit. I want to watch it in order. But I'll have to do it late at night in my room I think. My Dad watches it, sort of. He usually naps waiting...

This sounds like a great read! Thanks a million!

Oh, I shall have to go there. Sounds like Angela's character in Bones. Thanks, Evelyn!

You are so right! It's one I go back to time and again. It got me hooked on Colleen McCullough. Her books about Rome are amazing! BTW, "The Thorn Birds" mini-series is also a favorite. My physical books are not here but I think I may have that on my Kindle reader. Must go look! Thanks for...

Susanne! This is absolutely perfect! The pictures are wonderful and even though there is a lot going on in this LO, it all supports the photos and makes them the main focus. Well done!

What an appropriate photo for that quote! This IS a beautiful ATC!

It's fun to watch how you have grown as a photographer and to read of your excitement with each new discovery. In the distant future, your descendants will get to know you so much better for your chronicle of it!

This is so pretty with all those soft watercolor elements. You've created such a serene forest scene. I don't know if you did this on purpose or even know what mythology says about mistletoe. One of it's properties, it is said, is to protect your home against fire. Placing it around the...
