    I see that monster, Sylvia--and I'm running the other way!

    I WONDER WHY

    I wonder why
    Some love the sky
    But not the wind and rain.

    I wonder, friend,
    If sky will end—
    It’s too much for my brain!

    Oh, Sylvia, those are all so beautiful! Thanks for sharing them along with your quote. On mine ... I took them out the car window at 60 mph using the "Action Sports Shooting" ... it worked like a charm. I did take about 20 of them; not all turned out.

    Have a wonderful weekend, and a Happy Easter!
