She's Gone

But never forgotten. Rest in peace Samantha Jo! You'll always be our little princess.

In Search of Deer

Just before dusk yesterday, Michele, Cody and I went in search of deer at our favorite walking spot:

We walked the wide groomed trails, and even ventured into the deep thicket:

All in all we spotted about a dozen or so deer. Some were startled by us, which made them difficult to photograph, but there were others, like the one below, that didn't seem to be bothered in the least by our presence:

Bye Bye Birdie

Michele and I went to a play at a local high school last evening called Bye Bye Birdie. This was my first exposure to this particular play, and while I wasn't all that impressed by the story, I thought the acting and singing of this particular group was very well done, and this was especially true of our good friend Colin.

Colin's family didn't bring a still camera with them, so I stepped in to capture and immortalize the moment for them:

Their faces alone demonstrate just how proud they all are of their young actor/singer.

I predict that Colin's next performance will be even bigger and better than this one, which is setting the bar very high.
