Candles for Prayers

Candles and Prayers, originally uploaded by marrngtn (Manuel).

This morning I went to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to pray for my family and close friends.

I find that morning meditation to be a cleansing and purifying force in my life. It is with a grateful and humble heart that I ask that my family and friends be surrounded by Angels.

The thought that was left with me after this mornings meditation was:

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23:6

Enjoyed a full day of picture taking.

Started at 6AM This morning with a walk on the board walk.
The sunrise was MIA behind the clouds. But, I would not be
denied a day of fantastic photos.

I arrived at the inlet at about 11:30AM and began to take a
series of pictures that culminated with a trip down to
Assateague Island National Seashore.

I hope you enjoy the pictures from today as much I enjoyed taking them.

Looking Back On Good Times

When times get ruff,
You better have some good times
To look back on.

The more I look at this shot the more I really like the perspective. The glass and the Campari in Red are so eye catching.

Had a great Halloween in DC with Mo from Flickr.



Mo is a wonderful person full of life and energy, it was a real pleasure taking her on a mini tour of DC during her visit here. We went to the Vietnam and Lincoln Memorial for a photo opportunity. After some good photos we went over to the Capital City Brewery by Union Station. We ate and took some funny photos that I hope you enjoy.
