Some Pictures of Skopje at Twilight

Here are a few pictures that I took the other night - near and from the Vardar Bridge downtown.  It has turned "cold" in Skopje - especially at night.  I almost froze before I finished with this assignment.

Some Pictures From Katie Gilbert & Matt Lacey's Wedding

Here are a few photos that I took from Katie and Matt's wedding on December 12th. I hope to post more a little later on. In fact, I hope to catch up with a lot of my posts (on this site and Earl Family News, too). But for now, this is all I have reduced to web size.

"Excited" at I Heart Faces

The theme for this week's contest at i heart faces is " Excited".

I took this pictures while the children at the "Future of the Family" kindergarten were playing. This school provides a free education to Albanian and Roma children who would not be able to attend school otherwise.

Now go to http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/ and see all the other entries for this week.
