Memories of a Friend Lost

Today isn't about photos taken with a Droid Phone. It's about memories of lost friends. My childhood best friend passed away from his loss to battling cancer. There are times that when I think about him, I still morn his loss. He was a great friend, and uncle to my kids.

I miss you Kenneth J. Kivler.

Ken and Little Ken

Thank you brother for being my best friend.

Wood of Stone

220 Million years ago, life for these trees was very different.  For starters, they were a lot closer to the equator.  They met their demise in a continental break up of global proportions.  They were knocked down and berried in ash and lava.  Over time, their plant cellular structures absorbed the various minerals of the ash, mud, and lava that covered them.  Now, stone and Quartz, their ancient structures are preserved until the sun, wind, and rain return them to the earth.
