The Rolling Hills Where I Live....
Just visualize me standing on top of this hill, camera in hand...
What a perfect day, photographing the countryside.

A Wee Scottish Show and Tell for Thursday
As I continue to box up my kitchen for the final move to the Cottage, I realized I have not written much about the items I purchased last year, while in Scotland.
I wanted my purchases to have meaning when I returned home. Tartan and purple thistles are a winning combination.
The cups were purchased from The Culloden Battlefield gift shop.
So, now my Scottish cups are on their way to my Cottage Kitchen....on the edge of a forest.

Evangelical Lutheran Church for InSPIREd Sunday
A small unassuming white church on a narrow country road.
In the late nineteenth century, Rutersville became a German Lutheran settlement.
During this time, a German-English elementary school, a free public school, was opened.
Members of the church have been meeting here since 1895.
No amount of "shooing" could make these vultures fly away. I tried....but they were still there when I finished photographing, in the 100 degree temperature.
Today's photos remind me of the beloved hymn written by the German theologian, Martin Luther.
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
based on Psalm 46
God is our Refuge and Strength
An Ever-present Help in Trouble.

Breathtaking Views on the Isle of Skye
Here I am, after 8 months, still posting about my trip to Scotland. My daughter and I, along with our driver, were headed for a day of adventure to the Trotternish Ridge, on the beautiful Isle of Skye.
What you are viewing, in the photo, is one of the most recognisable landmarks, the Old Man of Storr. If you look slightly right of center, you can see the peak formation rising against the horizon.
This 160ft rocky basalt pinnacle is standing at an elevation 2,359 feet.
Notice how small the fencing looks.
Even at this distance.... there is mystery and romance swirling in the air.

Historial Texas Presbyterian Church for InSPIREd Sunday
Many hours were spent looking for the history on the designated Texas Historical Church. Even the church home page listed no history.
What I do know....the building was originally built with local quarry stone and native timbers.
The stone building was completed in 1894.
It was not recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark until 1971.
The church building was closed on the day I stopped by to photograph.
The best history I could find on this lovely stone church came from a collection of photos taken after a fire in 2002.
