Trunk or Treat

We took the kids to Trunk or Treat at church this year. It's been a couple years since we went. Our trunk got first place. My son got 2nd place for costume. Here we are... my son who claims he is "Son of Scream", my daughter as some kind of gothic fairy thing, Livvy as a jack-o-lantern, Izzy as a bat witch and me as Pavol Demetra's ghost... may he rest in peace.

Drive to Work

This is from my cellphone. It's not the greatest picture, but the sunrise as I was driving to work this morning was irresistible and I just HAD to snap a few pictures of it.

She Can Fly

Oct. 8, 2011 was my daughter's first swim meet of her second year on the swim team. She did so great. She improved her times in all four strokes and won her heat in breast stroke. She actually took 7 seconds off her time on her 100 Freestyle. I'm so proud of her!

Meeting of the Minds

I love to people watch and old men are so much fun to observe. These two sat on this bench just enjoying the sunny day and the nice weather and each others' company. What could be better than that?

Objects Appear Taller Than They Are

Some day I will find myself in a situation where I will be able to take some photos looking down instead of up, until then, I will have fun with angles looking up

Historic Signage

A sign in our historical district. This was taken last night as we were leaving one of the bars down there. We attended a Pub Crawl that was a fundraiser for my son's football team.

Been There Forever

You know those places in every town that just have always been there, and probably always will be? This is one of them in my town. It's a bar that has been around for at least three generations, quite possibly more. And, you know, I've never been inside it. However, the building it is located in is much older than the establishment. It's part of a row of buildings that are attached.
