New Covenant Bible Church Christmas trees

Couple pics of the Main Street decorations at New Covenant Bible Church in Cedar Rapids, IA. Dec 18, 2011

How about some "steam"?

Steam rolling off of our backyard light this morning around 5:30am while letting the dog "do her business".

You know you are bored of railfanning when......

You start taking Seagulls at the Cedar River Roller Dam

and wishing for Bald Eagles.

Or the afternoon lull has made you "pooped".

Photo Verses Part 1

These are some of my photos from this site that I have added Scripture Verses to. I hope that someone will be blessed by these photographs and will put joy in your heart, like it has done to mine. 

Enjoy!!!

Lightning Show

There was a wonderful lightning show north of Cedar Rapids Sunday evening.

Where's my key?

Where's my key to open my heart?

Well it wasn't here or at the location of

7th Street SE and Otis Rd SE where this

statue is.

Nature/Scenic--10/3/11

A Heron stands in the Cedar River waiting 

on lunch.

Still waiting. He would make several attempts

at catching him some lunch.

A Hawk looks for some lunch too near the Prairie Park

Fishery.

I do not have any idea what these are. If you know, 

please comment for me. But they look interesting.
