InSPIREd Sunday - Republic LDS

Welcome to InSPIREd Sunday where Beth from "E." Lizard Breath Speaks and I host photos each weekend of churches, temples or other buildings where religious services are (or were) held.

First let me apologize to those who posted last week. I was unable to visit each one of you. I have been without internet all week and am lucky to get this post up.  Hopefully I will be able to resolve this situation soon. Although it sort of has been kinda nice being disconnected.

It's easy to share your shot in InSPIREd Sunday.

1. The meme opens each Saturday at 6 p.m. Eastern Time until Monday at noon.
2. Post a picture of a church, temple, or other fabulous architectural building where religious services are held. If you know the name of the building, include it.
3. Include the InSPIREd Sunday Badge on your post.
4. Visit others who are linking up to meme whenever possible.

Happy Father's Day to those celebrating on Sunday.  Pop was certainly an inspiration to me and I still miss him after all these years.

Greetings and welcome to InSPIREd Sunday this week! Beth from "E." Lizard Breath Speaks and I host photos each weekend of churches, temples or other buildings where religious services are held.

This week's photo was taken in Lake Park, Minnesota on a grey wintery day.

Hopefully my week will be quieter than last. I want to get this meme moved to it's own site before next week.

Sorry I'm late getting this post up! I was quilting and lost track of time. It is not often that I am home long enough to play with my new machine.

This week's photo is from First Lutheran Church in Audubon, Minnesota. I like the clean, simple lines of the steeple.

Here's a different view taken from a different location in the airport on a different day. Do I fly into Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport too much? Yes.

Booming!

A booming we will go, a booming we will go, hi ho the derry-o, a booming we will go.

That just might be the theme song for prairie chickens each Spring as the males perform their mating ritual called booming. The male stomps his feet and lets out a booming sound from air sacs on each side of his neck.

Prairie chickens, while once plentiful on the open prairies, have dropped in significant numbers due to over-hunting and loss of habitat. The town of Rothsay, Minnesota bills itself as the Prairie Chicken Capital of the World and boasts it is the home of the largest prairie chicken in the world. If this statue is any indication, I can only imagine how beautiful these birds are in real life.
