This time of year is a bit of a challenge for me. You already know about the length of football season, which ties up Friday nights. Small festivals and charity events are frequent to say the least, not to mention I am quickly getting back into wedding photography.
This creates challenges for one of my fond pursuits that we never get enough of. Camping. The daytime high's are finally reasonable, summer-like by northern standards, a balmy mid 70's to 80's by day followed by low 60's and even some 50's at night. I yearn for the next opportunity to get away from it all. The smell of pine trees. Siteseeing thru some small town that is barely on the map. The challenge of making smores with minimal mess. How many minutes will it take to pitch the tent this time.
Sheila and I have camped a few times a year since we bought our nylon condo. I mean that.. When we are at these campsites and see the tiny accommodations others use, it makes us glad to know ours is actually pretty spacious by tent standards. We are eager for the day when we will get a Coleman pop up or something with indoor dining options, but I hope to hold out on that till I am the big 40.
For now our menagerie of backpacks, headlamps and my old military stuff works just fine. We will try and take a few photos when we go up into the mountains this fall or wherever we wind up going.

Laboring Weekend
One of my most busy times of the year is during Labor Day, which is a bit ironic I guess. This year was even busier than previous, and I thought I would share a few photos from my paper of last weekend.
Another celtic tradition is the bonniest knees competition, where the bride judges all of the knees of any kilt wearing man(or boy) around, and the four year old winner received a authentic celtic dagger.
A Celtic Wedding, which utilizes handfasting which has been around since the middle ages and is where the phrase "Tying the Knot" comes from.
Vrrrrm Vrrmmmm Bikers raise money for the less fortunate at Christmas.
Some kind of wheeled Chariots from when Moses was a choir boy, or maybe they are Model A Fords from the early 30's.
"It's Boots and chap, its cowboy hats, its spurs and latigo, its the ropes and the reigns, the joy and the pain"
