Those are some of the best photos I’ve seen of the Gates. Just beautiful.

Thanks! I’ll pass along your compliments to Ms. Katie as well!

Very nice pics! The Gates Version Winter Wonderland were extraordinary too, inducing a blissful state of “serenity now”.
While The Gates bewitch, the Twin Towers overawed, but both will have induced feelings hard to hand down, I think.

I’m so glad you like the photos! It was so much fun to walk around, even in the cold. I went back a few days later after it had snowed and was amazed at the beauty of it covered in snow! It’s inspired me to wear more color during these drab days of winter….

Just had to say, it’s nice to know there is another bright, funny, and talented “Laren” out there as well!
I think you need to write an article about the name Laren, how it affected your life growing up, how you felt it shaped you, and how it turned you into the unique person you are today… Well, that’s what the name “Laren” did for me.
Great webpage, great writing! Best to you!
Sincerely,
Laren
