A tree begins to blossom, but the brilliant red is muted by the sand in the air. A girl in a flowing pink dress (attending church) fills a bottle of water from the church’s tap.

Kids crowd around to get in front of the lens.

Obama makes an appearance at church.

Photo opp with the camera man!

Kids’ favorite past time, tether ball. Except these kids use water bottles with sand and rock in them and retie a string ever hour as it breaks.

Girls pose at a tether pole (actually our power pole).

It’s great fun to chase kids around. We all laugh it off. This time I decided to grab a pic of him. I may make this a series, but I need them to look back.

The ubiquitous problem. Trash, and usually plastic bottles. Sunday’s congregation in the background.
