Next project will be going through the ancestor photo album. Thanks to generous donations from relatives, I have so many nice ones to add. But for now, the project is to just get through the busy season at work! Breathe! Relax the muscles behind the eyes. Take stretching breaks. Breathe!

"Happy Halloween"
5:33am
At a time when many remember their ancestors, I thought I'd share a photo or two of them. The first is of my Uncle Donald, Gramma Horschler, Aunt June and Dad. I made it for 6x4, taking the better heads from one photo and putting them on another, as Uncle Donald's head was messed up in the other one:
Not sure when this was??
Gramma was a beautiful woman. Not sure how old she was here, maybe in her 40's? (Sized for 5x7)
One of Grandpa, maybe in the 50's, when he was in his fifties. Or was it in the early 60's???

"Visiting in Spirit"
9:54am
Scene from my visit to Seattle in August, 2006
I got digging in the photo albums remembering an evening scene in Seattle for the Photo Friday theme of "Evening". I came across this photo which I'd forgotten about. I like the way the Space Needle seems a benevolant watcher over the scene. (Well, at least I hope those ascending it to watch out through its windows are benevolent!)
Earlier today, I scanned a map of Sahure's pyramid complex which I found in a book borrowed from the library. I like the way it helps me to visualize what it was like in its glory days. Afterwards, I hunted out two photos on Flicker to supplement my photos of Sahure's column which is at the Met museum. Although I might not ever make it there to Egypt to see it in person, I can visit in spirit!
