hereafter

When I was up in Grayling this past weekend, my mother, grandmother and I stopped by a local cemetery.

It's peaceful, nestled back in the woods off a single lane seasonal dirt road. It doesn't look like anyone's been buried there for the better part of 100 years, but a few of the grave stones are still legible. I would guess the place is pretty full, but most of the graves seem to be marked by only a cement marker or an arrangement of stones embedded in the ground. I think my favorite is the hand carved, "Dear Mother At Rest" on a simple stone. Very moving.

Thanks for looking.

Water for Haiti

A few days ago I hightailed it up to Springport Elementary to see a talk given by two sisters who are about two weeks into a 10 state horseback trip to Texas. Brandy and Ashley Nelsey are aiming to raise $15,000 to purchase three wells for church's in Haiti. It's a pretty cool project for a really deserving cause. If anyone wants more information on them: www.horsebackforhaiti.jimdo.com.

Someone Else's Work

Some little children hate the camera. Then again, some of the just love it.

Oh Hi September

I snagged this frame about a month ago while on a NASCAR assignment. I was in a boat being shuttled around Wampler's Lake during a charity bass fishing tournament when a boat carrying this woman and an absurd amount of dogs (there are two or three more on board than what you can see) cruised by.

I have no idea what was going on but I am so glad I had my camera.

Thanks for looking.
