Weekly Photo Challenge – The World Through My Eyes

I love meeting people from all over the world. These two people became special as I was the first Westerner they had ever met. Friendly, a little shy and eager to expand their world even as I expanded mine. I see the world as a collection of people, all unique, that I want the opportunity to meet and share life together with.

Can you guess what this is?

Yes, I still play with my food, although I did eat the mussels first before playing with the shells

Weekly Photo Challenge — Change

Why a picture of a diaper? Because my wife started a business manufacturing custom cloth diapers (www.damorydiapers.com) after a failed adoption. We thought we were adopting a little girl at birth, but a changed mind by the mom led to our disappointment. An even bigger change occurred when, 11 months later, we were contacted about adopting the same little girl — this time successfully. So change happened twice, a new business and a new daughter. Funny how life’s only constant is change.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Lost in the Details

Prayers are written and hung high above Swallow Cave in Yunnan, China. I watched as brave climbers scaled the cave wall to hang the prayers. How different than how I offer prayers to my God.
