San Xavier Mission

We were ever so privileged to have enough time on one of our days here in Arizona and visit the San Xavier Mission. It was a beautiful building, and a great opportunity for good pictures. I'll share some with you.

Also, being here was quite an interesting experience. Apparently the Catholics had/have a book of Judith in their Bible. One lady looked at it, and looked up really confused. She then got my attention and asked me, "Is there a book of Judith in the Bible?" I said, "No." And she said, "I didn't think there was one in my bible back at home." :) Then she turned to me a minute later and said, "Are you Quaker?" :) I laugh now! No, we're not Quaker!

The outer part, obviously!
Soft light... ♥
I loved these windows! They are SO neat!
This was taken above the Mission. They had a little hill that you could walk up that overlooked the mission. They had their lions up there. They looked very picturesque. :) Notice the stormy looking sky in the background.
Steps :)


Outer walls


Interesting colors...

The ceiling of the building. So many paintings and such

Do you have any suggestions?

*Snowiness*

I enjoyed taking these pictures. Oh the joys of snow!


This one was fun - it was sort of vintage-like! :)

On a big computer screen, you can kinda see the rain... Too bad it wasn't more obvious on these smaller pictures.

Pictures - a catching up post! ;)

Here are some pictures that I pulled out of my stash! ;)

In October, Greg invited me to go to Bowl and Pitcher with him and some friends! :) I was a bit disappointed though - all my photos that I edited I saved as TIFF images... :( And blogger won't let me post those.... :(

I find this photo quite amusing! :) :D All 3 of the guys were bending over a puddle, trying to take pictures of themselves! This wasn't quite real, as each time I went to take a picture, one of them lifted their heads! :) So, I asked them to stay! :) :D

~Sam! :) ♥
