Damn Yankees!

I was up in the lovely town of Houlton, Maine last month for the opening of Houlton High School's musical, Damn Yankees. To students and parents of HHS: keep an eye out at school for a collage poster with lots more images from opening weekend.

There was lots of excitement in the final moments before the curtain went up!




Director extraordinaire, Ms. DeWan!


A little pre-show back rub time


And now, the show!


Dancing baseball players make me happy

Little Ceres at 3 months!



















Not to worry, she's in no danger!


It's fun to play with family pets

Badger Camp

Every year a large group of my friends head out to Badger Camp in Wisconsin for a weekend getaway.

The night I arrived was pizza night. I loved watching Tony demonstrate tossing the dough.


Much time was spent around the campfire






Nice walks through the woods...




I grabbed a couple friends for some portraits. I greatly appreciate them putting up with me in the cold!




goat!




This year's fun activity was fireworks! I positioned myself about twenty feet from the set off point.


I think I confused many folks running around them with my video light.

Edinburgh

The final installment of my Europe trip from this past summer! I traveled with Angela to Edinburgh to visit a college friend, Michelle.

Portraits in the city center were necessary




This demonstration at the castle was quite amusing






Greyfriars Bobby, the faithful dog who would come to his owner's grave for 14 years after his death




Hamish the Highland Cow!


We took a tour up to Loch Ness and stopped a few times along the way for some sight seeing








We took a ghost tour through downtown Edinburgh. This is our tour guide leading us to our next haunted destination


After the ghost tour we took a very leisurely walk back, stopping many times along the way for some night photography










No trip to Scotland is complete without a shot of a bagpiper
