Peace be with you. [View all]

In the wake of some pretty heated arguments last night and after receiving one truly vile PM this afternoon, I went seeking some peace and beauty tonight, and as is often the case, Mother Nature/Gaia/the Great Spirit/God/Allah or whoever graciously provided. Maybe these will bring some peace to you, as well.

And, oh, by the way, I will never EVER apologize or feel guilty for loving my Muslim son-in-law, who incidentally is not a terrorist. Sheesh...
