Saint Paul and the royal poincianna

This is Saint Paul's Episcopal church in downtown Key West. As a bonus, you get a beautiful royal poincianna tree in full bloom! The only thing I would like better is if there wasn't that darn light pole. Photo taken in May 2010.

Reflecting pool

Oklahoma City suffered a terrible tragedy in April 1995. The Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown OKC was bombed. 168 Oklahomans lost their lives that day, including many children who attended the daycare center for federal employees which was on the ground floor of this building.

A very touching memorial has been erected to honor those who lost their lives that day. There is a chair for each victim and a shallow reflecting pool built from the granite that was left over after the blast. It's a good place for reflections of many kinds.
