Lisa, thanks for the compliment on Rosie's picture! I wanted to let you know I posted the recipe for those pink kiss cookies--but you're going to have to wade thru a lot of pictures first. ;-) One of them made me think of you...a macro-style shot I think you'll appreciate.
Wood produces such interesting natural designs. When we go cut wood each fall for our firewood stack we always run into one or more really cool natural designs. Neat!

On Re-Homing an Animal:
"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

Beautiful! :)
Very cool!
There must be lots of love up there for all that heart wood. Thanks so much for the encouraging words, they mean alot.
So now I really have to go take a picture of that tree that they painted red where the limb was cut and made a heart. I always forget!
Beautiful wood! I took a picture of some up in the pinyon forest during vacation and GOSH DARN! Now I can't find it! (pulling out hair...)
Neat picture.

I always like the way you have for seeing the beauty in the small, forgotten places.
Wow...just think of all the cool things you could make with that shape!
