Stonehenge

When I was at hand therapy a couple of weeks ago and was having the hand warmed for 20 minutes, I saw a National Geographic magazine with the cover story featuring Stonehenge. For the next couple of times, they brought it back to me so I could finish the article. As well as being a distraction, the article was fascinating as it presented this theory and that regarding the construction and significance of this "national treasure". Actually, I think it is considered to be one of the treasures of the world. The article also reminded me of this day when Alice, Debbie and I were actually in the very place. It still amazes me to have been there. This photo of Alice and I was on a sidewalk which circles Stonehenge. This is as close as tourists are allowed. Stonehenge is not only a world treasure, it is a treasured memory for me.

So Very "England"

It was almost exactly two years ago when I stood outside our borrowed car and took this photo. I had taken one before, accidentally changing the setting to video. In that shot, you can almost hear the trees rustling. But I don't yet know how to bring it into the blog, so this one will have to do. The next two are so very Wales, at least in my mind.

I was so struck by all the moss and a dandelion growing out of the top of a fence post. If two photos could symbolize Wales to me, these would be my choices. Today I choose to add in a celebration of the anniversary of this trip, even as we are making one more trip to a doctor's office.
