Vendors
Here are some of the vendors at the 13th Annual A Taste of Scotland. I meant to take more photos once people arrived, but forgot about it. Must be a symptom of old age...

The Marines Set Up Camp
Franklin is blessed with an active community of retired and discharged military people, and front and center at most public gatherings are the Marine Corps League Smoky Mountain Detachment 973 of Franklin, NC!

2009 A Taste of Scotland Photos
I was at the 13th Annual A Taste of Scotland festival on Saturday, and I will be uploading my photos over the next couple of days, and will start editing video tomorrow, when I get my Movie Edit Pro 15 editing software to replace my MEP 12 that was lost when one of my portable hard drives quit on me.

Chasing the Lightning Montage
06-17-2009
Here are a few photos and a little video montage of a thunderstorm that rolled over Franklin, NC last night. My portable hard drive has decided to quit working on me, so I used One True Media to edit the sequence together. I hope you enjoy it!
**12.00 pm** It should be noted that Lightning Safety Awareness Week is next week.
Dillsboro Dam
The Dillsboro Dam has been in the news a lot recently, and here is a video I shot as a keepsake to remind me what it looked like and sounded like if the people at Duke Power have their way, and the renewable energy source is removed:

Here is a time lapse I did last Thursday of a thunderstorm arriving at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC.
Morning Photos:
A Weird Fly, Fuzzy Goldfinches and a copper colored Spider
I went out this morning to stalk some Goldfinches that had been eluding me, and didn't quite get close enough to take a good photo of them, but did get some photos of a weird fly that had a translucent abdomen (first two photos), a copper-colored spider on a fence rail, and my American Goldfinches were very wary of me, so I was only able to get these two shots at extreme range (for my Kodak Z710, anyway) before calling it an expedition and heading back.
I plan on trying for some bees this afternoon...
I had the flash on, and had to play with the brightness and contrast to get the last photo to come out close to right...
The Moon, Antares and Clouds
It tends to be a crapshoot as to whether I have good viewing weather for astronomical events, and this time...it was a bust.
I did manage to get some good B-Roll video of the moon with clouds moving in front of it, some stock photos, and a few other interesting opportunities that I'll be sharing soon.
I gotta start saving for either a real telescope or a real camera. Decisions, decisions.
