Sunday Stills

"First think back or look back at past challenges here and pick 2 subjects, then shoot them in Black and white or in color and convert them, pretty simple except no repeat pics from old challenges…"

I picked only one - the Easter challenge of Religion - "This has no particular faith involved...it can be churches or icons. Mostly it's for the architecture of churches. I’ve seen some beautiful old churches, stained glass,etc…. So let your mind wander and see what ya can come up with."

This is the little country church where I play the piano. Hopewell has a small, tight knit family of parishioners, two legged and four. We regularly have several dogs in attendance, once a horse, and little lambs are not only welcomed, but encouraged.

We have air conditioning, but prefer to just open the windows. (Click to biggify - neat reflection!)

The church is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs and birds and insects and I don't believe there's been a spring Sunday when I haven't noticed a truck and horse trailer pass by - no rest during breeding season in this, the heart of thoroughbred country.

We have no fancy stained glass windows and frequently we don't even turn on the lights, though Zachary always lights the candles.

And I enjoy sitting in the back with an old friend.

And I wonder if Dow ever gets distracted by the horses grazing across the Paris Pike. At a church of their own.

For more Sunday Stills.



~ Okay, okay! Here's a black and white of a black and white. Normally Iris is in charge of protecting the lambs. Here she's tucked herself in behind Keebler to "hide" from the thunder of yet another rain storm.

She's a good dog.
