Newly Illumined
This sweet baby was baptized on Sunday. What a joy to witness! Fr Andrew took him behind the altar as part of the ceremony, and as they re-entered the church nave, the sun broke through the hazy clouds and seemed to dance on the two of them. Their expressions seem so similar -- the slightly furrowed brow, the vague upturned lip -- but one face has the lines of many years, and the other is a cherub of innocence. Worry and joy and peace certainly can each be felt -- but in such vastly different ways for the old priest and the infant child. A few more favorites.

Some of you have noticed my lapse in daily postings. Like so many good habits, if you break from the routine even a day or two, suddenly it's been 10 and you have to struggle back into it. I have posted a picture for each day that I took them, and will start fresh tomorrow. Thank you for the encouragement!
