tree and church

When I was in Erpel on Christmas Eve I noticed that they had cut down this beautiful tree. Rumor has it, it was sick. I wish I had taken a few more pictures of it.

Mike and I had a great time in England. While there I got the idea of adding photos to my blogs from some of his friends that hosted us(such nice people!!!). Well, I guess this is more for me than anything as only a few people know I have a blog and they gave up reading it back when I started and stopped using it in November.
This was taken last March on the University of Minnesota campus while I was visiting Mike. That was right after I bought my Nikon. I am still having fun playing with it but really want to learn more about using it. Maybe if I scan and post pictures, I will feel like I am doing something with them and then push myself a little more. Who knows. I'm tired.
