Sunday at the Arboretum

On Sunday, Shane and I went out to the UW Arboretum to take advantage of the beautiful weather and capture what is left of the changing fall colors. It was absolutely goregous, even if most of the colors were seen by looking down instead of up. =)

The Dark Arts

Yes, I have a bit of dark side. So while this may seem weird to some, it really isn't all that odd for Shane and me. We went for a bike ride the weekend before last, and stopped at this old cemetary. The headstones were so old that some were crumbling apart, and others just plain broke in half. I think most of the deceased were from the late 1800s. I was really moved by this place...creepy as that may seem to some.

This man was murdered.

This was the top half of one of the headstones, cracked off and lying on the ground.

This was the bottom half.

These were some flowers growing from one of the sandstone headstones. They were really small and waxy, but very pretty.

Some Local Sights and Sounds

Shane and I spent the weekend doing local things: Farmers' Market, a parade, and our town's festival. I thought I'd share some of the fun things we saw. Makes me sad that summer is so quickly coming to an end!

No PhotoShop tricks here. This guy was really playing the guitar while standing on his head. It earned my dollar!

At the festival, B's son Sam was the first to volunteer to break a board with his own fist. He busted it up on the first try!

This mask was handed out at the parade to advertise for the Cow Chip Contest coming up at the end of August. Moo to you!

This lady was tearing it up at the Farmer's Market. She cracks me up...but not as much as she does Shane. This is sure to keep him busy at work this week. =)
