Hello Everyone! :-)

Pauline Raina and I are getting together to bring you the next exciting forum here at AdlandPro. This forum will be for posting your favorite photos. Pauline and I will be posting photo's with humorous titles, comments, Scripture or poems.

I recently bought two awesome cameras, the Canon Rebel XTi D-SLR camera and the Canon 30D D-SLR camera. I've taken tons of interesting photos. This hobby has become a new passion of mine that I hope to turn it into a profession with time. Every night I dream about taking photos, that's how much I'm enjoying this.

Pauline is a very talented poet and she is going to be writing some pieces for some of the photos. I'm positive you will be blessed with the poems she writes for the photos. You are in for a very enjoyable experience.

Thank you for your participation!

Oh Folks! If you click on the photos you can see a larger and better version! So click away!  :-)

Love and blessings from,

Pauline and John

Now Pauline's Poem:

Barren stands the land around us
But yet we have the tree,
Rooted secure in the rock below
A succour for you and me.

Though all around may wither and die
And rough edges bruise the heel
To those who take shelter under the tree of life
Will sure his blessings feel.

For there it stands for all to take,
Their refuge and delight
In all its power and awesomeness
That’s in the Tree of Life.

Bible verse:

Genesis 2:9 (Whole Chapter)
And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

We hope you've enjoyed this first post!  ;-)

Love and blessings from,

John and Pauline
