Opryland is just awesome. We had lunch there and then headed down the street to "Shopry" land walk off the calories. One of the biggest malls I have ever been to. This is a White Pelican I saw on my hike on Sunday at a local wildlife sanctuary near my home (where I took Casey_nfld when she was in town.) Man, these are large birds! They dwarf the Herons and Egrets that populate the ponds. Jodi-

Yeah, Casey, my friend Dori who lives in that house is not too happy with the mess the geese leave. I posted that pic on her Facebook page and said "Dori, you have company?" She got on FB and told her DD to hurry and get home from Hawaii because there's a big mess to clean up. Her DD wrote "No way! That's gross!" :-) This morning the school field was filled with hundreds of starlings I've never seen there before but not a single goose. But this afternoon, the geese are back and the starlings are gone.

It's a great photo! I hope you both have a hard copy stored away and/or framed. That's the kind of photograph that Life magazine and others of that genre were so popular for. My compliments to your son...as well as your photographic GS. I'm sure your son passed the photography course with flying colors. He has a wonderfully artistic "eye". That photo is truly a treasure!

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Port of Spain, Trinidad We went inside to view the interior and discovered that a service was in progress, so we sat down and waited for a break in the service so we could leave as unobtrusively as possible.
