St. Malo's

I just love this photo.

I took it when my husband and I vacationed in Estes Park, Colorado this past fall.

While in a little shop in the heart of town, my husband and I came across a postcard depicting the cutest little stone church perched atop a large rock. Appropriately called "Chapel on the Rock" (or St. Malo's as the title of this post points out), it was every bit as beautiful and peaceful in person as it was on that postcard ... Maybe even more so.

Once inside, I really wanted to capture the simplicity and beauty of the woodwork, rock walls, and colorful stained-glass windows so that I could take it home with me. The violets, greens, and golds cast across the pews were so calming and relaxing.

I could have sat there all day long.

I could just look at this picture all day long, too ... Especially after a hard week of teaching (or is it, babysitting?). I hope that we'll be able to make the trip back to Estes Park someday.
