Sing us a Song
My husband and I are here in Green Lake Wisconsin for a church musician's conference, And I was surprised and happy that the Thursday challenge for this week is "Sing us a Song". There are many skilled singers, handbell ringers, and band members here. It is a real thrill to sing in a choir of 300 people. In the next two days 3 handbell choirs will perform, a brass ensemble and a full orchestra will play, and choirs from young children through adult will perform. It has been a full week, but lots of challenging fun!

Come to the Waters
I am at a music conference in Wisconsin, for American Baptist musicians. It is being held at the National Conference Center on beautiful Green Lake. The little boy in the middle of this photo recently accepted Christ and decided to be baptized in the lake. His mom and dad are beside him, along with the minister for this week. It was a very moving experience.

Finding His Own Inner Child
Garden Sculpture, Green Lake Conference Center, Green Lake, Wisconsin
This sculpture begs you to "complete the circle". I'm sure you can't count the number of photos taken here.

Windmill in Wisconsin
Really hard to get a good photo going 70 miles an hour in the middle of HORRIBLE traffic!

Please, Can I Ride It?
We're on a trip to Wisconsin with James and Debi, and their kids Jenna and Sean. Sean really wanted to ride this double decker carousel, but we decided to pass.

Architecture
This tunnel started as your routine overpass bridge. Instead of replacing the bridge, the state just filled in the opening from the ground up, and put in a tunnel. Interstate traffic was only disrupted for a couple of weeks, instead of months.

Mobile
King's Daughters Hospital, Ashland, KY
I've walked by outside this room probably 20 times in the last year, but I was always in a hurry, with things on my mind, or trying to get in out of the cold. I've never seen this beautiful mobile until today. It's amazing what you see when you just look up.

Coneflower
I took this on my morning walk. I always used to make sure I had my cell phone with me when I walked; now I've added my camera. I've gotten used to having it all the time so I don't miss a photo op, and feel lost without it. Like all hobbies, this may just be a phase I go through, but I am enjoying it right now.

New Toy
This is my new flexible tripod. It looks like a cross between a slinky and a transformer. You attach your camera to the top of it, and you just bend the legs to wrap around any surface or stand on its own. I'm hoping it will help me with my night shots.
