Down the mountainside from the road two large platforms had been erected with what was, from my estimate, 1,000 or more vertical prayer flags. Once again, nobody was around to ask about it. Our guide thought there might be a small monastic school nearby.

 

Note about the pole tops: Many of the vertical prayer flag poles are simply tree branches, or sometimes saplings. Some have parts of the tree left at the very top: That is the simplest type of pole. Many have decorations mounted on the top, as do these, that replicate spear points. Some are more highly detailed, but most have a relatively plain appearance - gold and white being common. In a few instances the poles are topped with a more conical like gold painted pear shaped decoration (symbol for joy). If I understand correctly, more merit is earned by the erector when using a carved decorated top on the pole. I have no idea how the merit works out relative to the shape and color scheme.

Tens of thousands of Tibetan prayer flags covering the hills around Princess Wencheng Temple. This place felt weirdly holy, when I finally entered the tiny temple after having circumambulated the temple grounds, tears were brought to my agnostic eyes.

In 1991, Sisters of St. Clare Sister Dianne Doughty and Sister Laura Hammel were invited by Bishop Ken Untener to live in Saginaw where they have spent the last 32 years responding to prayer requests and praying for the Saginaw Diocese. As they aged, the surviving sisters, Sister Laura and Sister Dianne are leaving the Diocese of Saginaw to live with a Franciscan community of women in Illinois while continuing their vocation as Poor Clares. Sunday was their last Taizé prayer in Saginaw.

A very surreal grave. It is supposedly the Voodoo queen Marie Laveau's grave. That paper is someones medical bill. Hey, whatever works.

This was a prayer card I designed (image from stock photo) for a friend of mine who placed her baby for adoption.

 

A beautiful reminder that her decision was filled with love and that she will be filled with love in return.

Reddish small mantis seemed interested in being photographed even though we are very noisy around it that it could scurry away any time (but it did not).

 

From Mantodea order of insects (Mantidae family). This one is a typical praying mantis with its usual "prayer" like stance. If you look closely, the eys of mantises look like they have pupils (but according to wiki, they just have compound eyes).
