Joplin MO Survivor story
This is my step-son's story of his experience in the f5 tornado. The house he was in was a few blocks from St John's hospital, which as you may have heard turned 4 inches on its foundation - a 9 story building 4 inches, just imagine how much wind that required!
Bryan recorded a few videos for us while we were there, I think it was cathartic for him.

Rosey Macro Monday
City Park was very lively in February but I did find a few pretty roses. They looked even brighter against the winter dull.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
Not sure what these are, some sort of cocoons?

New Orleans City Park
When we visited City Park in February there wasn't much greenery yet but there were plenty of birds. :0) Above you can see an Egret (or Ditch Chicken, lol) and some Ibis.
I think this is a Grebe.
A coot.
Some sort of Louisiana ducks.
A wood duck and some other fellows.
A warbler?
A bluebird.
This fellow tried to hide. :0)
A wonderful fountain!

PLEASE pray for my hometown, Joplin, MO. A horrible tornado went through there and demolished much of what I knew for 30+ years of my life. :( My family is all ok, one is now homeless, but all are still alive.

a nice drive
Driving down the road we suddenly saw this beautiful bald eagle sitting in a field. He looks like he's looking down his beak at the crow, lol.
Then we came upon this ground hog. It was an exciting day! I saw another ground hog near my daughter's house a few days later, scared him under a pine tree, he didn't let me get a photo.
