    Maybe, if we give it a little sunshine, it will get warmer on the east coast!image

    Beautiful idea Foley!  I've always loved your pictures and "peacefulness"!

    Some of the old battlefields I've visited (I am a history nut) are hauntingly beautiful, peaceful and contemplative.

    Do any of you have Bing?  I love their pictures they post every day!  I have so many I've downloaded and use for Wallpaper.

    Well, it's still there for me!  Ha!  It must be your server?  Okay, type Google Images.....  Then type in Bing pictures.... and they will all come up...!   I'll try and post it through Google Chrome, to BC.ORG, and see if it comes in that way...

    Very beautiful, although I was rather expecting some gorgeous, muscular half-naked men to contemplate......

    Ha.  Chevy I don't know if that photo made this a "peaceful" place but it sure made me contemplate!  And OMG Ruth, that's the kind of farmer I want to be, a tulip farmer.
