Happy Unbirthday to me!

Its ABC Wednesday's letter of the week: the ubiquitous, understated, unbelievable U

Standing under this unbelievable double rainbow in Wisconsin this weekend I understood more of what's important, especially to those who work the land.

Last month I walked warily under this umbrella-like canopy of trees as the 'cotton' from cottonwood trees floated and eerie light filtered down the winding path.

An unlucky car in our parking lot under a blanket of snow left behind by an unexpected spring snow storm.
