OPPOSING LINES

I read my sister blog today and she was sharing photos of opposing lines.  It was so much fun that I went to my pictures and found the following photos that I had taken Sunday afternoon.  I hope these are opposing lines. 

Your eyes first travels up the pole and then can't make up its mind where to go next.  Maybe first to the right since there is a flag but maybe not when you see two different sets of lines.

Opposing lines? Not sure but when deciding were the eye travels first I looked down the highway (I was traveling about 70 miles an hour with my camera on steering wheel).  I then saw the two jet streams.  As I looked even harder I was so surprised to see the cross above the tree line.  I got in three shots before the trees hindered my view of the cross.

 Sometime the trees in life hide us from the most important thing: The Cross.  We always need to look up above the trees to see what life is really all about.

I looked back through my pictues but didn't find anymore that showed opposing lines.  Can't wait until I can get back outside to see if I can discover more.



NINA & PINTA

It has been such a long time since I have blog.  Much has happened since June.  I want to share with you the fun day I had Sunday.  I went to Van Buren after Sunday School to see the two ships docked in the harbor that were like the real Nina & Pinta that columbus sailed.

I decided to drive straight to Van Buren and call my cousin to let her know that I had arrived.  My cousin and her husband were 45 minutes from Van Buren so I ran by Sonic, got my lunch and went to a beautiful park to have a picnic. When I got to the park, I got my small cloth that mom had made and set down to enjoy the wind blowing the fall leaves to the ground and looking out toward the river.

The fall colors were so beautiful. If you will look close you can see the wind blowing the water towards me.

This is the Pinta

This is the Nina

I made this picture big so you could read the sign. Fourteen years and so much talent for ship building.

I am not a sailor, so I am not sure what to call the front or the back, but the ships were so much smaller than I had imagined.  Nina was 65 feet long and Pinta was 85 feet long.  The Nina loged 25,000 miles under columbus' command.

In 1988 a maritime historian, John Patrick Sarsfield, began building what was to become the first truly, historically correct replica of the 15th century.  They have a website if you are interested in more information.   http://www.thenina.com/

Oh, and by the way.  If you are interested in sailing with this crew they will promise you an adventure of a life time.  I am serious.  They are looking for any one that doesn't mind working hard, getting little or no sleep and are not prone to geting sea sick.  I am always ready for adventure but since I have to work for a living I decided to choose land rather than sea.
