and like ghosts, they’re gone

On the far side of a tiny town, if you take the road that looks like it doesn’t go anywhere, you’ll pass by a little church.
The morning sun caught the squares of the window screen’s mesh in a way that obscured the flowers, making them seem momentary, like if I looked again, they’d be gone.
And here’s the daily Bruce Cockburn, with “Use Me While You Can,” of his spoken word pieces that is just outstanding.

Lighthouse

A friend of a friend took me here, and it was quite a find. I’ve posted other images of it here and here.
I’m starting to think it might be time for a return visit, just to see how the old place is getting along. Oh, and to make some more photos.

Angels are the first to go

My patient spouse, who grew up in Nebraska and is much more familiar with snow than I am, is the one who recognized the remains of someone’s snow angel in front of this church.

God’s Robes

I can get distracted thinking about what goes on behind the scenes, for Mass, for dinner, for a car repair. It doesn’t really matter what it is, I just always wonder about the how of it all.
So I was pretty happy to discover God’s robes in a small room off the sanctuary of this Nova Scotian church.
