I am a big fan of angels, have been all my life.
When it comes to how we mere mortals portray angels there are two things that I am very particular about. Firstly they must have a presence (just because it is an angel doesn’t mean I will like it) and secondly if they have wings – for they don’t need to – the wings must not be gossamer.
I have lots of angels and pictures of angels and have decided that I am going to start posting a picture of an angel on this blog every Sunday, there will never be words in the post, however on this page there will be a list of all the post dates with a link to the post embedded in the date and a bit of detail of where the angel can be found.
This page might not be updated until a Monday.
