fantartsy JJ *Happy Holidays!**'s photostream  

All of us were made with love and mercy. We were and are the Lord's dear creations. He loved us then and He loves us now.
No matter what comes our way, good or bad, tragic or thrilling, HE IS THERE FOR US!
88My daughter Jen, is having further surgery this coming week. She has some polyps which have been found to be cancerous. However, with the surgery and a short bout of chemo the doctors expect her to recover fully. There is more, but for now, please just keep her in your prayers.
The Lord, the one who so intricately made us, will never leave us or forsake us. He is there for us to call upon in the dark of night and at noon day. Thanks to all of those who will be filling in for me, when I am off being with her and my grandkids. AND MORE THANKS to those who have been praying for Jen. I will post more when I know more. Thank you so much! GOD BLESS YOUR SUNDAY and the week ahead. JJ

A rendering of the southern deserts in Arizona where there are some watering holes for cattle and horses. Others come to gather, like Javelinas and bunnies. The ranchers also put up cisterns full of water which drain into natual aquaducts for the ranch animals.
Made using Bryce and Photoshop Elements 5.0, texture made by me.
Thanks for stopping by! JJ HAPPY WEEKEND!

It's fun for the whole family! A fantasy land for kids with rides that actually fly, (NO STRINGS) and horses that have magical powers, balloons that never pop and even a lemon tree with lemon drop candy. In the background on the right side are all the little ones getting ready to go have fun!
There is a lot going on here and it is best to view it in LARGE SIZE.
Made with Incendia, Photoshop and Bryce and some shapes, graphix and texture styles. Have a great weekend and think of warmer times. The carousel and spaceship ride were both made with Incendia Fractal Program. please PLEASE read the sweet poem I found that goes so well with this image BELOW:

By Barbara G. Dingess, USA

Oh To Be A Child Again

To be a child
no trobles or cares
A world of pretend
no problems to bear
To scurry through fields
in your mind you can fly
Soaring with the birds
above the world so high
To believe there is a sand man
to visit you at night
Oh to sleep a peaceful sleep
where again you take flight

Thank you for visiting. JJ

These are my impressions of what the Hubble "saw" when pointed at an area of "dark space", where presumably nothing was. Well, they got their money's worth on this time usage slot. Not only was there something, but more than they ever could have imagined in a million, billion years! (All of the work in my slider is digital, NO Hubble photos were used or edited for this slider) **PLEASE VIEW IN FULL SCREEN AND TURN UP SPEAKERS**

Psalm 119:

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line[a] has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

A tribute to the Hubble Space Telescope and program. Read the article below:

The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) is an image of a small region of space in the constellation Fornax, composited from Hubble Space Telescope data accumulated over a period from September 24, 2003, through to January 16, 2004. It is the deepest image of the universe ever taken,[1] looking back approximately 13 billion years (between 400 and 800 million years after the Big Bang), and it will be used to search for galaxies that existed at that time. The HUDF image was taken in a section of the sky with a low density of bright stars in the near-field, allowing much better viewing of dimmer, more distant objects. The image contains an estimated 10,000 galaxies. In August and September 2009, the Hubble's Deep Field was expanded using the infrared channel of the recently attached Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). When combined with existing HUDF data, astronomers were able to identify a new list of potentially very distant galaxies.[2]

All digitally created using Photoshop and Incendia. I love the lacy florals I get when I try new things on Incendia. The heart frame stands for the love from me to you for praying for Jen and being such Godly friends. With love from me to you. JJ

Here is a link to some REAL OLDIES music from 1964. The ONLY band to ever play With Love from Me to You, the RIGHT WAY. All of you boomers will probably recognize this scene. I know I do. Have a great trip down memory lane, and know I love you. JJ
