I caught this sunset on the way home from an outing yesterday. It had just rained and the clouds were disapating. You can see the wind turbines near the bottom of some of the photos. To see more photos of skies around the globe go here.
This is our little pekenese Baby Girl. She was posing so prettily I just had to take her photo. I can not imagine not having a dog in my life. I don't think I have evr not owned one. LOL!!
If people did not have enough money for a crypt they would rent one of these wall compartments for a monthly fee. I don't know what happened if you did not pay your rent. I loved walking through this old above-ground cemetery in New Orleans. It is the 3rd oldes cemetery in New Orleans and is crumbling and weedy but that is what gives it it's charm. People who have old family burial plots there are still being buried in them. They just go in and push the remains to the back and put in the new body. In 50 years there will be very little left of it. There are many many peoples remains in each crypt. I found it hauntimgly beautiful and could have spent all day reading the history in the epitaphs on the tombs. To find out more about Lafayette Cemetery No.1 go here.
It has been a while since I posted any photos of Poncho and as you can see he has filled out nicely for the winter. He is the most adorable horse I have ever owned!!

Words I live by
Mahatma Gandi states: “I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.”
"Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind ."~Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)

About My Blog
When the world seems like it is going to Hell in a handbasket it helps to remember there is great beauty and humor to be found. I try to find something beautiful to photograph everyday and share it with you who are interested. I hope the photos will bring you happiness and assurance that we still live in a wonderful world.
About My Photographs
I consider myself a hunter of a different sort, Beauty and wonder are my prey. Nothing is hurt, lessened, deleted, or wasted. No pain or tears or sorrow. Something beautiful that lasted for only an instant, is caught and shared for all to see. My rewards are much greater than meat on a plate or horns on a wall.

About Me
Amanda Barber
Central Washington, United States
I am the second of 4 children raised in a small town in Louisiana. I now live in Central Washington State after spending several years in Montana. I describe myself as a sentient being who is part cowgirl, part hippie chick (left behind the day I became a mother but still have the memories), part tree-hugger, and I have an interest in fashion and girlie things. My concerns are over-population, cruelty to animals of all kinds, the destruction of wildlife habitat, and the destruction of our beautiful planet. I am married to my best friend Ron who is a native Montanan and have a 20 year old son named Cody, 3 dogs, a golden retriever named Joanie an ancient Pekenese named Cyndy Lou, and a young pekenese named Sophia. I also have a beautiful Missouri Foxtrotter named Red-neck Annie and a 6 year old Peruvian Paso named Poncho. I enjoy riding them down the trails. I also enjoy fishing and driving the golf cart for my dear hubby and of course I take my camera where ever I go.
"Sexiness wears thin after awhile and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat!" Joanne Woodward
