The Modern Art Museum of Ft Worth is free on Wednesdays and I had my car in the other day near by so i went and it was a nice visit I went on a tour w/ a very knowledgeable older man and you can take pictures w/o flash of some of the pieces but I had my settings off so i will go again now I think I know what to do
this is the sculpture out front

this is the view from the back and the chrome trees

These two just struck a chord w/ me


And this is art you are encouraged to walk on





this is a huge work of art about Berlins regrowth after the war

It is so worth the time to see and take the free tour also

Weekend Moon shine

Did you see Sat last night?---So much happened I need to catch up tomorrow but I wanted to post this shot of the moon it was 30% brighter than normal and the brightest it was supposed to be all year I loved the bright ring. The moon is thought of in so many ways it is thought romantic, It is desired to be explored. it is thought of as made of cheese, I like that it lights our way in the dark,mI think of it each morning as I leave the house in the dark and I am grateful. But sometimes I return home before it is light and then my internal clock gets confused and on parting from people mistakenly say goodnight? has that ever happened to you?

Photo hunt Aftermath:"There tearing down trees and putting up a Parking lot"

This is the back of our church today, for a couple of years now if you were not almost 1/2 an hour early for church you could not easily find a place to park. Since three congregations use the same building we often overlap,so we are very much in need of more parking





It is sad to take down trees we have enjoyed for over 20 years but so necessary in this case

Remember this the aftermath of our washer malfunctioning :


I am so glad we are slowly but surely recouping from our whole house flooding in September

The aftermath of a lot of hard work and adjusting

Skywatch Irony?

I stopped to take this picture of the sunset and after I loaded it on the computer I thought I should have stopped at this fire station and told them to look up the sky was on fire -- Did I get a pity smile:)
