Words to Ponder
We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering.
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance. -Eric Hoffer
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow. -Anaïs Nin
Obesity Tsunami
More than half a billion people, or one in 10 adults worldwide, are obese -- more than double the number in 1980. Obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10 percent of U.S. medical spending or an estimated $147 billion a year.
Except for smoking, obesity is now the number one preventable cause of death in this country. Three hundred thousand people die of obesity every year.

M R Ducks? Very COOL photo!

@Kimmy and Janey – Thanks! Actually I am surprised this photo turned out as nice as it did. The sun was in my eyes, it was 20 degrees and I was trying to focus with a camera phone. It was just pure luck the old church was centered in the background.
So that’s where all our mallards went to…
Its way too cold for them here now, brrrrrrr
Sweet picture I love it

What a great photo! That iPhone does a nice job for a basic point and shoot type type phone camera.
Love the header image you used. Almost seems like it was based on the classic Waits River, VT shot that was even painted by Norman Rockwell. Or the almost as famous East Corinth, VT shot.

First I was liking your header picture. Then I was scrolling down to this post and I thought it was a painting, until I saw the details. I LOVE the subject, the way your framed it, and the tones of the colors! What a beautiful shot!

Taken with your iPhone? Wow! That’s amazing! Such a nice photo coming from a phone. Love the old church in the background.
And of course the ducks and the prints in the snow are just too cute! Did you feed the ducks??
Another gorgeous photo Elaine
Although you used the basic iPhone camera, the imagery and composition is what brought the photo to life. I think you have more than just luck going for you; you have a natural ‘eye’ for photography. I have viewed only a mere sampling of your photos and feel confident saying that your gift is genuine…. through freezing temperatures, snow, and the blinding sun. You GO girl!
Christmasy in an avian sort of way–thumbs up, Elaine!
What a pretty sight! And such a pretty banner too!
