Canoe Creek Photos

I have finally finished processing all the photos I shot at Canoe Creek State Park on July 12.



Some I am very proud of, some not so much.

Thunderstorm Video

I captured a bit of video of last night's (Jul 21) thunderstorm. The Weather Channel predicted the storm would hit about 8:40 pm and they were spot on!

Out to Pasture

I snapped these photos of grazing horses in Scotch Valley yesterday just before I got to Canoe Creek State Park



Some I think turned out quite nicely. More pictures from the park will be coming.

Flag Day 2009

Flags being displayed in the neighborhood on this Flag Day, June 14.



Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on this day in 1777. Pres. Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation in 1916, that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. In August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress, though Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. However, on June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday.

It's a Van Thing!

I posted a photo of a well-stickered van a few weeks ago and I snapped this even more garishly decorated van this morning. It must be some kind of a van-owner thing I don't get.



Somebody should introduce these people to Twitter or Facebook.

This is my second sighting of this bizarrely painted Toyota Prius, or what I like to refer to as the Pepto-mobile.

A Tragedy in the Neighborhood

I shot these pictures at the 58th Street Subway, the seen of a deadly shooting Monday afternoon. The store is only 6 or 8 blocks from my home and I was an occasional customer. As you can see, the shop is closed temporarily and there have been makeshift memorials placed in front of the store.
