Promptness

To be held "Rain, Shine or Snow"!

Dramatization

This tableau at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences represents part of the eco-system near the coast of North Carolina.

Protector

So sad. Photographed at Olive Branch Church Cemetery.

Oscillation

I had a tough time trying to figure out how I would show "Oscillation", but I think this works!

Former

Former Senator...

Comfort

They always get the best spots in the house.

Fluffy

Since I live in a house I share with 5 small furry people, you have to know that one of them will show up here to represent "fluffy". Midnight is the fluffiest!

Cheap

Beans...I can't think of anything cheaper. We all might be eating more of these in the days to come. Good thing I like them!

Comfort food

I knew I was saving this photo for something special!

I know that PhotoHunt submissions are supposed to be new (although I had forgotten that rule until a few weeks ago when another photo-blogger mentioned it in a post), but I can't think of anything more comforting than a turkey dinner. This was John's first helping from last Thanksgiving!

Jacket

It was just a little chilly last Sunday at William B. Umstead Park, perfect for a bike ride!

The Dark

I was trying to capture the sunset thru the trees near my front door last week.

Halloween

Family or friends decorated this grave for Halloween at Sacred Heart Cemetery.

Pumpkins

While driving around St. Mary's County in Maryland last week, I came across a Corn Maze with a huge pumpkin patch by it. I didn't go to the corn maze, but I couldn't resist stopping along the road to take pictures of the pumpkins!

Orange & Brown

As you can see from the tree in the background, there's not a lot of color change on the trees here yet, but we're starting to see some fall. This dead leaf was resting on my car window when I came out of a store yesterday.

Chilly

John and his brother, Victor on a cool afternoon near the Craggy Gardens Visitor Center along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Leaves

Fallen leaves under the water in Paine Creek at Indian Point.

Mis-communication

This map showing section locations in West Alexander Memorial Cemetery caused me all sorts of confusion until I realized that it was a mirror image of reality! While the top is north, as anyone would expect, the right is the WEST end of the cemetery and the left is the EAST!

Mixed Media

Here's John, about 3 years ago, taking a look at a display of different types of early tobacco advertising. This was taken at the museum at the Duke Homestead State Historic Site.

Old-School

Waving "Hello!"

Short Notice

Here's John near the top of the ledge at Grandfather Mountain. Good thing we didn't have kids...I have to watch him every minute!
