I’ve had a widescreen monitor at work now for almost a year. A while back I discovered something that I’ve had a lot of fun with. I found that with a bigger monitor, my windows desktop accumulated a lot of icons and I had no particular order for them. I never could find anything I needed. So, I decided to create a little order out of the chaos. Using Photoshop, I created a background for my desktop that had all the categories that I needed and a few additions as well. It provides a neat effect. Here’s the one I currently have on my machine…Click the image for a larger view.

My Sunday School class went on a weekend retreat this past weekend — April 27-29, 2007 — to Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. On the way through Little Rock, we also stopped by The Old Mill park to stretch our legs and take some photos.

Petit Jean State park is a very nice and scenic park with lots of great views, running water, and gigantic boulders to climb. One of the landmarks of the park is the 95 ft. Cedar Falls, which can be seen either from two different overlooks or by hiking 1 mile down the canyon to the base of the falls.

I have begun the process of filtering through the pictures I took and posting them in my gallery. But, I’m not through yet. The ones I have posted can be seen by going to my gallery <click here>. Or you can click on one of the thumbnails above.

Addendum: As of May 4, 2007, I have uploaded all of my photos from the trip — at least, all of them that I care to, anyway. Be forewarned if you’re going to the gallery…there are a bunch of them to look at.
