It’s About Blooming Time!

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography/ 10 Comments/ 909

I don’t claim to be a good gardener and with all of the plant loving critters that live in our yard and forest it is a constant battle to keep any plants looking decent. So when my front yard looks good, I have to gloat Continue reading →

Another Walk in the Woods

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography/ 18 Comments/ 848

Places of worship come in all varieties. Small country churches, outdoor churches like Faith Memorial Chapel , big city churches and university chapels. Chris and I actually got married in our own university chapel at Ohio Northern so that type probably holds a special place Continue reading →
