Waterman

I've been taking pictures since 2008 and somehow always manage a shot like this, where the water seems to be pouring out of the lower left corner.  Don't worry, I'll clean up the mess.

These shots of a local waterman fishing nets were taken off Aarons Beach this week.  They are timely because Mathews recently lost a legendary waterman who died doing what he loved best.  (Click here for more on that.)

In brighter news, Daughter successfully started her last year of high school this week.  And I'm very excited that Market Days is upon us once again.  I plan to enjoy every single moment of this annual event, including the Party at the Wharf Friday night, the car show on Saturday (where a certain 1965--what a fantastic year--Mustang belonging to my friend will be on display), and the street dance Saturday night.

If I can remember to buy batteries for my camera (I give it a 50-50 shot on remembering to buy batteries and a 40-60 shot that I'll then remember to bring the camera), I'll post pictures here next week.

Public Landing

These were taken from one of my favorite public landings in the county, near Bethel Beach where I sometimes park to go for a six-mile run.  I haven't been doing many six-mile runs lately, and it shows that needs to change, especially since Baby Sis and I intend to run a couple of half marathons this fall.

Today I accompanied Daughter to the last high school open house I'll ever attend.  Checkbook clutched, I paid the various fees and ambled numbly through the halls of Mathews High School, barely able to believe the little girl I just dropped off at preschool is now a senior in high school.

It's also hard to believe that the last major weekend of summer is upon us.

Time continues to fly by.  I am doing my best to keep up.
