Beautiful Beautiful Flamingo

My little pinkalicious want me to draw her favorite bird "Flamingo". She took this picture in Frank Buck Zoo, Gainesville, TX. She would like it be framed with a pink frame and hang it in her purple bed room. Wish she will have many many pink dreams from this picture.



“Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet."

Notre Dame Cathedral

Sketched from a photo taken by Jackie Kelley.

Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral is arguably the most stunning gothic cathedral in the world—and is undoubtedly the most famous. Conceived in the 12th century and completed in the 14th, Notre Dame Cathedral was the very heartbeat of medieval Paris. After a period of neglect, it recaptured the popular imagination when 19th-century writer Victor Hugo immortalized it in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”.
-- Courtney Traub

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Love begins at home (3) -- The Farm Cottage

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as real strength. -- Francis Be Sales

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Love begins at home (2)

He surrounds me with loving-kindness and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things.
Psalm 103:4-5

Love begins at home (1)

Under that roof, there is love. My dearest friend use her life to demonstrate her favoriate scripture:
 
But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace; 
That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace. 
So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God. 
For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21

Ardmore downtown historic house

Ardmore is used to be called as little Chicago at oil time. In it's downtown, there are some interesting houses which could let people imagine the prosperous time.
