Love locks on Pont de l'Archevêché bridge, with the phenomenal Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris beyond, December 24, 2011. Paris, my heart is with you.

Oh, my heart! What a tremendous loss. Notre Dame, December 24, 2011. Does living somewhere for a month count as "living" there? If yes, I lived in Paris for a month over Christmas and New Years several years back, got to know some locals, and didn't feel the typical travel pressure of seeing everything in a hurry. I got to meander all the streets while visiting Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and more, as a matter of course along daily walks, numerous times. Paris, you somewhat unexpectedly kept a piece of my heart, and I am devastated to learn of the tragedy unfolding right now in your beautiful city of the world.

Visiting Thorncrown Chapel by architect Fay Jones in Eureka Springs, Arkansas was one of my bucket list items before we'd ever heard of a bucket list. I fell in love with it in about 1991, but hadn't made a true effort to get there yet. That said, by pure chance, I finally made it there a couple of weeks ago, realizing it was "only" 3 hours away from the dog I was traveling 11 hours to adopt. Really, not that far, all things considered. =) Plus, it put me in the Ozarks, an area I had never visited and now I yearn for more time back there.
The history of Thorncrown is fascinating, and here is a snippet I really enjoyed learning: "Thorncrown Chapel was the dream of Jim Reed, a native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. In 1971 Jim purchased the land which is now the site of the chapel to build his retirement home. However, other people admired his location and would often stop at his property to gain a better view of the beautiful Ozark hills. Instead of fencing them out, Jim decided to invite them in. One day while walking up the hill to his house, the idea came to him that he and his wife should build a glass chapel in the woods to give wayfarers a place to relax in an inspiring way." - Please visit https://thorncrown.com/aboutus.html for more information!
Jones received the 1981 American Institute of Architects National Honor Award for Thorncrown Chapel and the chapel was listed 4th on the AIA’s top ten buildings of the 20th century. Mr. Jones was very prolific in his lifetime, including throughout Arkansas, and he was recognized as one of the top ten living architects of the 20th century. So yes, it was pretty incredible for *this* architect to experience Thorncrown in person.

Regarding the lost pitbull we took in yesterday, who is currently being fostered by another family in Fort Collins:
If anyone in the area around First United Methodist Church/Lesher/Eastside Park/University Center for the Arts is willing to print and hang/distribute this flier, that would be fantastic! Also, please share the file or link with others to help get her home. Thanks, all.
This very sweet female pit bull is currently at my house, having been found at First United Methodist Church at Stover and Garfield in Fort Collins about 7:45 am this morning. She is a mama, possibly very recently. She's gentle and very good on a leash, but nervous all around. She does not have a collar or a microchip. She's listed on PawBoost and Next Door. Please help spread the word if you can.

I blame - er - credit #AnselAdams and - to a somewhat lesser extent - #GeorgiaOKeeffe for the fact that I have to visit here every time I visit the Land of Enchantment. I am entirely enraptured by the organic forms and play between light and shadow at the San Francisco de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. Also, for the first time ever, I was able to enter the church last week and had a wonderful and gracious conversation with the pastor, Father Dino Candelaria. I sincerely appreciate the hospitality and warm welcome I always receive in Taos and at the church.

I just returned from some Middle America travels so, as time allows, I will be sharing some favorite sights and memories here. Hope you enjoy! First up: The Leaning Tower of Britten in Groom, Texas. It has a number of other names, but that's the one I will go with. This icon rests along former Route 66, the Mother Road, and was placed just so, balanced by the right amount of water to locate the center of gravity as needed to avoid its apparent, imminent collapse. It was purchased from the town of Lefors, repainted, and placed in Groom as a clever marketing ploy to bring customers into Ralph Britten's adjacent truck stop and restaurant, since burned down. For many years, the ploy worked just as planned and thankfully, the tower remains for those of us who enjoy visiting and photographing such oddities!
