Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

The flags are flying.  Does that mean the Governor is in residence?

That is a stately old building.  How old would you estimate it to be?

Nice shot.  All your shots have beautiful blue skys.  Makes a person wonder if you ever have anything other than blue skys!


Barbarian

Yes, he and his family are in residence.   Two state troopers were eyeing me as I moved around to get a better shot.

Unfortunately, it was being renovated, so I couldn't get a tour to learn much.

And yes, when Iowa weather is good, it's gorgeous.   And when it's bad...

Well, I don't spend a lot of time outdoors, then.

Didn't you know there are only two seasons?  Winter and construction!  No I don't like winter either I tend to stay inside as much as possible in the winter.

I thought the Governor was in with the flags being up.  In London England you can laways know when the Queen is in residence because the flag is flying.  I don't remember if there is a specific flag for royalty or not.

It would be a treat to go on a tour when the renovations are done.
