Having sat in churches with stained-glass windows, I can see how this photo reminded you of "Nature's Basilica." Alexa and I congratulate you on your win! Love, Carolyn

Beautiful, Bob. Enjoyed. Great entry. Reads like a winner.Una hospitalized two weeks ago, with respitory problems. Was released last Tues. Had to take her to the ER again, friday due to a severe reaction to Avelox (antibiotic). They found a slight touch of pneumonia during her exam but didn't keep her in. She's doing a lot better at the moment. She's on a different antibiotic. So all's well at the moment. Hope all's well with Vera and yourself. God bless. Ralphie
