Ahead of my ability: The Twelfth Station

The Twelfth Station

The Twelfth Station of the Cross (Jesus Dies on the Cross) at St. Bonaventure Cemetery is built into a huge grotto.

The grotto itself is beautiful and detailed...

but at the stop is a fantastic life-sized sculpture of the Crucifixion.

To Do...

I'm a firm believer that telling others about our plans breeds accountability. So here are a few things that are on my to-do list this year. Not in order of importance:

1. Take a picture EVERY DAY
2. Take a picture of myself at least once a week
3. Quit smoking...AGAIN
4. Learn more about my camera. (I still leave it on Auto when I can't figure out how to get the shot I want. Thank God for digital or I sure would be wasting a lot of film.)
5. Participate. In POTD, in a local photography group, in LIFE.
