Pics I took in May,07 in my shed.<br /> I am trying to learn how to work with the new set-up that someone (my stinker son) installed on my computer. I have vista on my system now,and I have apparently lost a lot of things in change. My mind seeming to be one of them!<br /> Well I will try to learn to work with what I have,but this old dog-new trick stuff is a real pain in the rear. Good to feel up to working at it anyway! <br /> Peace be with you all,<br /> Carl Sr.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SySTjzd0zCI/AAAAAAAAASU/Me4BRbjTgvU/s1600-h/DSCF1662.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414614895326186530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SySTjzd0zCI/AAAAAAAAASU/Me4BRbjTgvU/s400/DSCF1662.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SySTjsLZB5I/AAAAAAAAASM/TfJ9OpuE2L0/s1600-h/DSCF1666.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414614893369821074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SySTjsLZB5I/AAAAAAAAASM/TfJ9OpuE2L0/s400/DSCF1666.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SySTjUo2f3I/AAAAAAAAASE/h8oKW0ss4xU/s1600-h/DSCF1668.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414614887050936178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SySTjUo2f3I/AAAAAAAAASE/h8oKW0ss4xU/s400/DSCF1668.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Carl H.

It only takes three to six minutes to get there from my home,but I seldom cross the bridge.<br /> This day,I was on a mission to collect a few sea-shells for a class of Michigan third grade students.I had a fine time crawling around in the sand,looking for little treasures.<br /> I also had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of my surroundings.EVERY time I go out there,I wonder why I don't go more often.<br /> I hope the students get even a tiny taste of the way it makes me feel to be on the island.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SYH1L2V0ClI/AAAAAAAAAPk/WxTbrfyUVbA/s1600-h/DSCF6771.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296784220678785618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SYH1L2V0ClI/AAAAAAAAAPk/WxTbrfyUVbA/s400/DSCF6771.JPG" border="0" /></a> Some evidence of the awesome power of nature.<br />Broken bridges,like hearts,can eventually be mended.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SYH05K0PciI/AAAAAAAAAPc/6AKrB7kJSeo/s1600-h/DSCF6769.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296783899757605410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SYH05K0PciI/AAAAAAAAAPc/6AKrB7kJSeo/s400/DSCF6769.JPG" border="0" /></a> A snapshot of puppy love.</div><div>When your world is very small.</div><div>There is no hunger,</div><div>no war,</div><div>no politics.</div><div>Only each other.<br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SYH0MgfyUmI/AAAAAAAAAPU/fo6nKh3jHgc/s1600-h/DSCF6760.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296783132483277410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mXCMlwqqXX0/SYH0MgfyUmI/AAAAAAAAAPU/fo6nKh3jHgc/s400/DSCF6760.JPG" border="0" /></a> Sometimes it can be so tough to remember when life was so simple.</div><div>But it is still easy for me to see the beauty and miracles that surround me daily.<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Carl H.
