THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON THE CHERRY BLOSOMS - I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO RESPOND BUT I READ THEM ALL AND I A MOST APPRECIATIVE. WE ARE AT OUR DAUGHTER'S IN VERMONT AND WILL RETURN HOME SUNDAY NIGHT - THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE.

Here is a view of the Memorial through an overhanging branch of Cherry Blossoms....Tomorrow - a view of the Washington Monument .

We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"

So lovely! When were you there? Mike and I usually go in April but I think we are doing Chicago instead. I'll have to go searching for the blossoms here in PA. Have a great weekend in VT!
