Omaha is a fresh, dynamic city, merging the best in Midwestern hospitality with the energy of a city at full throttle. There is something here for everyone, make it a point to visit Omaha!

Omaha is a wonderful place to live and was an ideal choice for the location of the headquarters of the International Sanatana Dharma Society and Vedic Community. The growth we are witnessing and the quality of the people attracted to our community is remarkeable.

I count myself fortunate to be a part of this Vedic community and look forward to a future filled with continued growth.

I took these photos yesterday at this beautiful nature center near Omaha with my little Razr cellphone 1.3mp camera. Fontanelle nature center is in Bellevue, Nebraska and is a great place to hike for hours.

The boardwalks are very pleasant.

This bridge crosses a creek that is farther off on one of the trails that is off the boardwalk.

There is a neat railroad bridge in the pic. I'll have to return to photograph this one again.

More to come in the next message...
