Prayer for Haiti

Prayer for Haiti

Note: Most of Haiti professes to practice Catholicism. A large number of Haitians also practice Vodou (a largely misunderstood religion) alongside their Christian faith. Damballa is one of the most important of the spirits in Vodou. When prayers are said to him symbolic offerings are often made of an egg upon a small mound of flour.

A snowy day in Huntsville! A few photos of the delicate snow and a few of the pets playing in it.

Snowy Ivy

A close up look at the ivy on the apple tree.

Snowy Ivy II

Another visiting of the ivy.

 

Hute in the Snow

The black fur shows the flakes in the air very clearly. Taken just out of focus to emphasize the colors rather than the texture.

Winter Elements

This photo, however, is all about texture. The sharp leaves and the red berries against the soft snow and the chain link fence, cold and barren like winter.

Sky Dropping

The over-exposed sky brings out the white streaks of snow on the dark cedar branches.

 

Southern Snow

In contrast to most sharp branched evergreens, magnolias have large rounded leaves. Snow always looks perfect on magnolias, a symbol of the south.

 

Snow Day

Zakuro gets to play in the snow like every kid today.

 

The Hute and the Ivy

Two of the kittens, Hute and Takoda, play in the pond bed amonst the ivy. The title is a homage to the Christmas carol.

Have a good snow day, Huntsvile, AL!
