This beautiful ornament is carved with the Goddess Kuan Yin and the Heart Sutra. I'm posting it today as travel blessings and gratitude for my Flickr friend, LaValle and my friend and neighbor, Liz, both of whom are leaving within hours for big travel! And I'm posting it as sweet thank you to Flickr friend, Joy who bought it for me when she went to see the Jade Buddha. There's a bit of rainbow on the lower left of the crystal cylinder.

Go with great light and safe returns, all of you.

The very first pix I made witih my new camera were these. Blessings.

In the shadows of the Uppsala catherdral (Domkyrka) lies the Helga Trefaldighets (Holy Trinity) kyrka. We happened upon it when seeking shelter from the rain. This is a gem often overlooked. What a plesant surprise to find a host of angels painted on the ceiling to watch over us during the storm.

Blessings come in many shapes,

In sizes large and small,

But a brand new little baby

is the sweetest of them all.
