Paulie said...: Hope your Easter celebration was great! Mine was except for the rain but this afternoon, it stopped raining and I was able to go for a walk and take more photos of the tulips at the park.

Love that petrified wood tree trunk. My dad was a rock hound and we used to go to Wyoming and collect tree trunks that were petrified so he could cut and make things from the stone. Many a summer we rolled logs of it to the camper.; March 23, 2008 11:25 PM
