My blog will probably read like a travelogue for the next week or so, but I do hope you will enjoy the photos I share of this lovely country I was blessed to visit!
Today is just a small beginning... and Welcome to Georgia ... or, as it is in Georgian: Sakartvelos (საქართველოს)...
(photo by Anya Polozkova, as I didn't cross a border by land)
This is a beautiful OLD church we visited on my first day in Tbilisi (the capital of Georgia). Let me introduce you to my lovely sister, K, and my nephews, S and J, and my niece, T. They live in Tbilisi and run the Youth With A Mission base there.
I wanted to start the Georgian photo-logue here because it was the first day I was there... but also because God gave me a very special welcome to this land on the very first day:
(sorry, Blogger is up to its old tricks and refusing to post this photo properly rotated!)
God loves Georgia and all its people! And, I believe He also wanted to make me feel right at home!
Note to all digital photographers:
Perhaps you are already aware of this, but I learned a valuable lesson with my sd memory card this trip! I purchased a 16GB SDHC (high capacity) card for the trip. The package said not all devices can use the high capacity cards so to verify that yours can. I thought "testing" it by taking a photo would be the way to verify the usability since there was nothing in the camera's owners manual. WRONG, I was!! It tested fine before I left, so I joyfully took ALL of my photos on that card. When I got home and tried to download the photos to my computer, none of my photo programs nor my computer itself would recognize and download the photos!!! I ended up taking it to Costco and paying them to download all my photos to cds just so I could get them on my computer!! I'm glad I was able to resolve it, but it's not an ongoing expense I want to have to deal with (especially since I took about 2000 photos... yeah, I know I'm obsessive!!!) :)
What a blessing to find God smiling upon you, Sharilyn!
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to the photos, smiling hearts and rocky hearts, extra expense and all.
a great tip for the photographer. I have an 8 gb card but haven't used it yet.
ReplyDeletegreat shots and I look forward to hearing more about your trip.
There it is! How very special, a heart even when you're travelling. I'm so envious!! =D
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your trouble with the card. We'll be looking forward to seeing your precious pictures.
LOL, just realised you did say that on my blog. and here I was playing the guessing game.
