Here's a little Japanese-style aid to meditation: a pagoda lantern surrounded by natural stones. It can also aid concentration in the practice of yoga. Whilst creating a mini relaxation garden, it is recommended to stay with neutral and earthy colors, such as like white, cream, grey and beige.

Are these cats saying "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"? Dear me, no! I imagine our ginger friend on the left is saying, "Dude, where's my breakfast?" The innocent looking feline in the middle is thinking: "Why doesn't this human put the fire on?" And the grey cat is wishing you would stop whatever pointless activity you're engaged in and set his clockwork mouse going, or dragging a lure across the carpet for him to pounce on.

This rural white church in New Hampshire might be small, but it makes a big impact in the community. The minister shares sermons encouraging its members to show God's love to everyone.

Autumn is in the air as leaves gather amongst stones on a beach in Bursa, a city in northwest Turkey.

A misty winter morning in Gothenburg, as you wait for one of the 263 trams that serve 12 routes to take you to work or an early breakfast.

Dry stone walls are an ancient craft going back thousands of years. By fitting stones tightly together without mortar and choosing slightly smaller stones the higher you go to create a tapering inward wall you can build a stone wall that can withstand an earthquake and can last hundreds of years.

Rocks and stones can be found in many different shapes, some you have to look very carefully at before their likeness to things familiar are revealed and at other times it is very clear what the stone represents. Would you take this stone if you found it or leave it for others to discover?

Malmö is the third-largest city in Sweden. If you are a collector of stones you would probably find some interesting specimens on this beach. Sweden does not have just stone beaches, there are plenty of soft sand beaches as well.

Toronto was a quieter place in the 1950s. The skyline was made up of a few buildings built twenty years earlier, the brick buildings were defaced with soot from the industry that was the major one on the waterfront, and you couldn't go out for a drink or get your shopping on Sundays. Perhaps this old truck played a part in the construction of the new buildings and the first neon lights of the city?

Many travellers prefer to drive at night because the roads are less busy. The only other pets out at this time are those who may be hauling goods. Traveling at night does have a downside though. You miss what beautiful scenery you may be driving past. It's a good thing there is a full moon to help illuminate the road ahead.

After they had breakfast with their risen Lord and Friend, Jesus had a conversation with one of His best friends, Peter, who had denied Him three times when Jesus was arrested and put on trial. Jesus asked Peter if Peter loved Him more than he loved fishing - his life's occupation. He asked this of Peter three times. Peter, each time, affirmed his love for His Master and Savior. Jesus then gave him a new "occupation" - to feed His sheep, His people. He also told Peter that one day Peter would die for being a follower of His. Peter, knowing that there would be dark days ahead, was committed to following the One Who is the Light of the world.

The New Testament accounts of Jesus' death aren't pleasant. After having suffered cruelly at the hands of soldiers and from the hearts of His own people, the eyewitness accounts say that the land became dark during His last three hours on the cross. When He breathed His last, under that foreboding sky, the earth quaked and rocks split. Being late in the day, His followers buried Him in a nearby, borrowed tomb. While tragic, something triumphant was about to happen in just a few days!

"That's one small step for pets, one giant leap for pet-kind."

A blank slate, a tabula rasa. Achiever Beaver surveys a clear stream cascading through the mountains, and makes plans to build a new dam.
