St. Ann's Murray Hill Memorial Church is a historic Roman Catholic Church located in Bruce, Wisconsin, USA. The church was established in 1909 by the Murray Hill Polish community, which had migrated to the area in the early 1900s. The church was named after St. Ann, the mother of Mary, and grandmother of Jesus.

The church was designed in a classic Gothic Revival style, featuring a tall steeple and intricate stained-glass windows. The church's interior is adorned with beautiful paintings, statues, and a large altar. The church has a capacity of approximately 250 people, and it remains an active parish today.

The church is a significant landmark in the local community and is known for its rich history and cultural significance. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990. The church continues to be a place of worship for the local Catholic community and is also a popular destination for visitors interested in its history and architecture.

Birch, with bark peeling For most of my early life, our mailing address was &quot;Birchwood, Wisconsin.&quot; (We were on a rural route out of the Birchwood post office.) I went to high school in the Birchwood school, in that town. The town is well named. There are lots of birch trees growing nearby. I believe that the species is <i>Betula papyrifera</i>, paper birch. While walking around the place where I spent most of my boyhood, on a visit to Wisconsin, I noted this birch tree, with some bark peeled off. Most likely no one tore it off, but it just came off naturally. One reason that this kind of tree is called &quot;paper birch&quot; is that you can use the bark layers, torn off, to write on.

I believe that the brown horizontal spots are lenticels -- structures which allow Oxygen to come into the bark cells, and Carbon Dioxide to depart. You can see lenticels on twigs of many kinds of trees, but they are particularly prominent in this kind.

I enhanced the contrast a little with The Gimp.

Isn't God a great artist? Thanks for looking.
