the tiny store


As is the case at most historic mills I visit, there is a small building at Chapman's Mill that was a general store at one point. The interior is quite small on this one and just as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

amour


Rather apropos that I should take a spectacular photograph of Cupid on our honeymoon, don't you think? This may be my favorite from the Louvre. Actually, I'd call it a toss-up between this and one other.

lyon


One of many photographs I took of statues and stone carvings throughout the week. This one was at Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. This park was walking distance from our apartment, and we were able to walk around it twice during our visit. See more of the statues here.

mother theresa


I've taken to photographing the faces of statues lately. I'm constantly amazed that sculptors can capture every emotion so perfectly. Here, Mother Theresa comforts a child as a poor man kneels pleading for help with his eyes.
