Franciscan Monastery Gardens

This beautiful place is in my aunt and uncle's backyard in Burlington, WI.

I know it may seem weird to see this using the special effects, but I also took regular pictures which did not turn out bright enough to see.  This adds a bit of punch to the details.

It started to thunder just as we were entering the stations of the cross.

I think I would have risked it, but my companions were either afraid of death by lightening strike or sick of me and my camera.  You decide.
