Terrorist Attacks – Paris and Beirut
Before I post about the horror that occurred in the world in recent days, I want to share something pretty to overshadow ugliness with beauty. This is a photograph I took several years ago, and I have always thought it was very peaceful to look at. The world is mourning the dead in Paris after […]
