Back in April of naught seven, my friend Star came to visit me in Tulsa.  It was too short a time, but it was a very good time indeed.
Besides loving each other madly and deeply, she worked and I did whatever it is I do on my days off.  We didn't even clash a little bit,
which always amazes me.  She's a magical woman, and I'm gladly blessed she's in my world and has decided to stay. 

I miss her when she's not around, and I suspect that she misses me as well.  As the Wheel turns, who knows?  There may very well come
a time when we only miss each other for a very short time, rather than a very long short time.

While here, she let me take her to a few of my favorite places.  Granted, Tulsa doesn't show off much, and it certainly doesn't advertize
much in what is here, but I've found a few special places for me.

Star let me take her to the Pedestrian Bridge, over the Arkansas River.  Here's My favorite pick of the river:



It was wet, it was cold and I felt terrible that I couldn't make it more confortable for her.  Being the bright Star she is, she wore her trusty Jeans Jacket.

We also went to a Nature park near here, RedBud Valley.

Just a few shots of it that I had to take:

Here's Star standing at a column of Limestone.  It's a very cool formation.  Not as cool as she is, though	A couple of trees have taken root though the limestone and are just growning up and up!	Just a neato veritical rock thingy.  But I like it. and I did say neato.
This is a cave, which is just on the other side of a limestone over hang.  This is a spot where the Ancients used to come to avoid some of the terrible storms we have in Oklahoma.	Though the picture doesn't show it well, there is a natural spring running though the bottom center of the picture.  The water percolates down though the limestone and shoots out a little cave.  It's one of my reasons for loving this place.	And this is just a interesting hole where one limestone slab fell against another limestone slab.
