I'll add this to...


...my list of jobs I would like to get when I retire. It's a pretty short list. Here are few.

Drawbridge Operator in Beaufort County, SC
Groundskeeper at Arlington National Cemetery
Part time photographer for the Charleston Daily Mail (are you reading this Tom H?)


Or I could just do what I do now on my days off. Whatever I want to!

Big Bug


Our friends Frank and Debbie have a couple of small prints of my photos, but Debbie wanted a big one for outside on their back porch. I showed them some and Debbie picked the lady bug. She originally wanted it 4' x 3' but she already had a mount that was 44" x 33", so that was the final print size. I obviously can't make a print that big so they had Screen Graphics in Nitro do it. I had never even thought about printing something that big but it turned out real well. I was so proud I just couldn't stop looking at it ;-D

Big Timber


A limb that would've made a dandy tree itself, fell on a house today on Seventh Ave. in Saint Albans. Nobody was injured and very little damage was done to the house.

RIP :-(




I was just mowing along this afternoon, happy as could be, then all of a sudden,,,wham. My 20 year old Lawn Boy gives out on me. I don't know what happened, but the front of the engine just blew out. I mow my yard and my neighbors yard and was almost finished when this tragedy happened. I had probably a minute left and I would've been done. I came in the house and broke the news to my wife. She doesn't get excited about money or stuff like that (that's my job), so she told me to go get a new one and be thankful that I got 20 years out of this one. So off I go to Center Hardware and pick me up another Lawn Boy (it's a beauty). I hope I can get as much faithful service out of this one.

I was talking with...

...my friend Kenny (from Beckley) the other day and he asked if I had any more pictures from our New York trip to post. I told him I could probably find some more. I think his wife will like the top one.

Lunch near the World Trade Center. Those street vendors have some good stuff.
Bryant Park.
Rockefeller Center.

Times Square on a Saturday night is just a little crowded.
Trinity Church. Where the treasure in the movie "National Treasure" was found.
