Picture Perfect
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, January 18, 2011
This picture was on my homepage today, a featured photo from National Geographic.
What is it about this picture of a bride and groom in Malaysia that stops me in my tracks?
It’s lovely, for so many reasons.

This funny shot is from a collection of “greatest nature photographs.”

Snowed In
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Saturday, February 06, 2010
Washington D.C. has shut down.
We awoke this morning to nothing but white out the windows, and the news that mail service has been suspended.
I don’t recall the post office ever shutting down in a storm before.
It’s a true blizzard: snow falling sometimes as heavily as two inches an hour, at times accompanied by high winds and even thunder and lightning.
We have about 18 inches outside right now, with another eight inches expected today.
Of course I keep those in danger or without power in prayer, but it is so lovely.
Are you snowed in too? How are you spending the day?
Being Cruel to be Kind

Let me start by saying I would never eat elephant. I don’t think I would anyway. Do people eat elephants?
On Ash Wednesday, however, this picture was on my homepage, as part of the National Geographic Photo of the Day.
All day long, it made me hungry for a giant cheeseburger. So I’m wondering, as we are on a meatless Friday, am I crazy or is there something about this picture?
Also, extra points to whomever can name the play from whence my post’s title comes. (My son was in this play today, and spoke that line.) Also, those quotations are an homage to Danielle’s post below. I love random quotation “marks.”
Akimiski Island

An island off the coast of Ontario as seen from a satellite.
Go here to see this photo in the huge scale it deserves—and for more satellite pictures of our amazing planet.
Which is your favorite? Mine might be the God’s-eye view of Tibet—it looks like frost on a window-pane.
Golden Rays
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Sunday, August 10, 2008
Once again I have nothing special to say about this photo, I just think it’s beautiful and mysterious. These are golden stingrays migrating off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. See more photos and read more about it here.
What purpose do sting rays serve, and why should there be so many varieties of them? I like to think in making some creatures, the Lord was just having fun.
