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!
