Sandy, this post is a lovely example of why I've passed on to you a Blogging with a Purpose award over at my place. I don't know if you put awards on your blog, but I enjoyed acknowledging your good work.
San, Thanks for the award. I used to post them on my blog and link back to the giver, but I maxed out on Blogger photo space and had to trim around the edges and settle for making sure I had folks in my blog roll. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness!
You should only know how these pictures moved me. Scroll down to photo #2 here, and I think you will understand what an important message you have spread around the blogosphere: http://toraa.blogspot.com/2008/05/ruben-funeral-day.html
I must have weddings on the brain. My first thought at the sight of the first shot was of wedding cake. Yummy wedding cake... (drools)... Sorry about that. This is gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing.
Sandy, you see so many beautiful things. Makes me wonder if I'm too blind, don't get out enough or if I'm living in the wrong place. But, oh how I love my swamp!

Sandy, this post is a lovely example of why I've passed on to you a Blogging with a Purpose award over at my place. I don't know if you put awards on your blog, but I enjoyed acknowledging your good work.
What lovely details! Looks like a pretty little place.
Oh Sandy, that's just beautiful! Expert photography! Why don't you join "Picture This" or "Ruby Tuesday"?
awwh oh that we had that at entrances all over the world
Those doves give me a sense of love :)
It's good to see work like that. Great pics.
Beautiful Sandy. I love the peonies below too and am glad they survived the storm. Gorgeous...
How pretty - a great piece of gingerbread.
San,
Thanks for the award. I used to post them on my blog and link back to the giver, but I maxed out on Blogger photo space and had to trim around the edges and settle for making sure I had folks in my blog roll. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness!
such intricate details! happy WW sandy!
WOW That is so neat to see! I love your posts. Thanks for stopping by and Happy WW!
the details are exquisite :) doves really do give an aura of peace, don't they? great entry, sandy! :)
Those are very pretty. Her house might make visiting Hartford worth the drive over from where we might be. They seldom use detail like that anymore.
Happy WW!

Great shot and a sentiment the world could do with far more of. Happy WW

That's so unique and wonderful worked. Love birds generally and especially like this. So wonderful.

There must be a reason why doves represent peace. I felt myself at ease and peace after seeing these pix!
Beautiful artwork and those doves are pretty where they are!
Home and Garden
Those are beautiful adornments. Doves are great symbols of peace and purity.
How meaningful and beautiful this whole idea is.
