no jail? photograph something!

with a reprieve from lock-up I really wanted to be outside..after work on saturday, under cloudy skies I headed to a raleigh picturesque favorite: Oakwood Cemetery. this location is one of those places that nevers fails to show itself to you in a new way every time you visit..enjoy.



on the way home (westward), the mist brought on a huge rainbow, and a flaming sky ensued!

thanks for waiting

just wonderin'.........


all of you wanting some fair pics..here ya go..round one..those fairgoers who waited for a NICE DAY got one one on the final sunday. perfect weather. really. great crowd. fall colors on the way.
food in the air. lots of noise. i spent a couple hours with the lensbaby in the afternoon.

mom!
dad...
okay, come twilight, I stuck with the lensbaby. too pretty!!
hope you don't mind a few carousel pics!!

great frederick fair

so i did get to go to frederick, and quickly remembered that one doesn't get much free time at gigs like this.. but day one started out raining and baby heffer 'bella' came into the world.
then Beth watched it rain, and I goofed with the camera:

the sunset on sunday was a really nice close to a good weekend!after the weekend I got to venture out and found a flying pig and a cool look at the wheel
with the lensbaby. oh, check out my cool new 'rootbeer man' shirt..






each day Dad makes a run between stands to stock 'em up with his buggy (his concoction)

upon his return, Mom stopped by, and Kathy and Drew showed up for their 'usual':
Two rootbeer floats. Duh.. they come by several times each year, shoot, she sends us photos!

nice batch of antique cars here this year......

what's an Ag. Fair without a little pony racing? lot's of animal stuf at this show. i missed the alpacas' opening weekend. but caught a longhorn on the last day..


all for now, the rootbeer people are in winston-salem thru 10/12..then it's state fair time in raleigh 10/17-10/26.. more pics then!

and they're off!

with the first day behind us, we've got the bugs out and we're ready to roll. now if the fair could do the same all would be grand! they rearranged our road to much dismay in the neighborhood. time will tell if it works out OK. positive  attitude is all we've got..onward! 

here's dad hangin' mid afternoon:

i got to take one quick walk and stretch my legs, and saw a couple cool things thru a

lensbaby. i  thought the colors were nice! the weather is simply stunning so far...

all for now, hope everyone is doing well. have a great day!
