Seeking Wisdom and Sublimity

Photos from Liège, Belgium

My European home was in the Belgian province of Liège, the capital city of which bears the same name. We visited this city in our early travels, and I took the following pictures there in Saint Bartholomew’s cathedral. The tombs in the walls intrigued me with their worn Latin inscriptions, and even though I had studied Latin for two years, I was only able to read the words Hic jacet, which signify “Here lies…”

Fall at the Bruce Farm

This week I present to you some pictures I took last fall at my home on Quail Ridge in Parker County, Texas. Little did I know that that would be my last fall to spend there! This year for Thanksgiving I will soon be heading to my family’s new abode near Jefferson, Texas, in Marion County.

I took these pictures at Copper Breaks State Park in Hardeman County, Texas last June. I have many other pictures to post, both from North America and Europe, but I’m putting them up little by little, and eventually they’ll all be posted.

Hope you like these pictures!

Tennessee Kayaking

View photos on Flickr

These are some pictures from a camping/kayaking trip I went on with some college friends in April 2010. Yes, that was more than a year ago, so long ago that I don’t even remember the name of the river we kayaked on! And although I may be behind on posting pictures, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been taking pictures. There are plenty that are just waiting to be blogged, so stay tuned!
