A Babe In A Manger


So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

I Played My Drum For Him ...


I know Christmas has come and gone and we are on the start of a new year but I didn't get out this Christmas to take my normal Christmas pictures. I finally made it out today to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church and got some nice holiday shots. This one of the Little Drummer Boy was one of my favorites from today's shoot.

St. Paul A Sacristy View



This rather unusual view of the mural of St. Paul is made possible from a even more unusual vantage point. The picture was taken from the second story of the churches Sacristy.

St. Thomas and Columns


When taking pictures of stained glass I look to see if I can find an interesting angle or composition. I liked the way the columns framed the stained glass window of St. Thomas.
