New Gallery : Christmas Windows 2007
Every year First Lutheran goes whole hog and decorates the windows in the sanctuary. Since I present the illusion of knowing my way around a camera, I get to photograph them. Please visit the gallery if you’re bored.

Photo of the Week #3
This weeks POTW was actually pretty easy to pick out. We got a nice sunny day on saturday (I think), so I went out to the back yard with camera in-hand. This is the post and cross-bar of a very solid clothesline, which we don’t use very much. As you can tell, we haven’t repainted it since we moved in (and I don’t think it’s been painted since the 70’s). There is some nice texture on the paint and the ropes.
