Apple Picking Gone Wrong

This weekend Lee Ann and I pretended to be a couple 40 somethings with 3 kids. At least that is how our friend described us as we planned to go apple picking in Virginia. We rented a car, drove for 150 minutes rather than the anticipated 75, and arrived at the apple orchard too late for the cider festival. With an hour remaining until the place closed we made the most of our time (including free admission to the corn maze and staying 30 minutes past closing time). After picking apples our from a bin in the farm store (yes you read that correctly), and buying our apple butter and cider, I was able to snap a couple photos.

B-e-a-utiful Wedding

"The First Walk"

This past weekend the bells were ringing in VT (figuratively). At Sara's grandparents mountainside house, she and a great friend Ben joined as one in a gorgeous wedding that could never be forgotten. The two were nothing but smiles filled with joy and compassion. This photo is taken as they left the ceremonial area that was filled with their closest friends and family who too were radiantly smiling at the event. Congrats Ben and Sara and may you have long lives together as beautiful, fun and warm as your wedding was on Saturday 9/10/11. (Good date selection)

Inaugural Indy Car Series in Baltimore

There was one thing that I was not about to miss with this race weekend...the car concourse. Here are just a couple of the beautiful cars. With a backdrop of unappealing concrete slabs I was unable to do full car shots as I had hoped. Bringing me back to the glorious ages of 8-14 with my father, these cars bring memories and leave us all a little in awe. I hope that you can enjoy these pictures as much as I did taking them.
