I debated a lot with myself as to whether I should post this gallery on FB. I am not a hunter but fully respect and support those who do.

During a sad time in my life experiencing the death of a very dear family member, circumstances delayed any funeral service and therefore we spent an extended wonderful period of time with family.

It so happened that Saturday, September 4th was the first day of Dove hunting in SC. As a photographer, I was messing around learning how to take and edit photos with only a Smartphone. I was invited by a cousin to be a part of his sponsored hunt and got to see first hand how hunting is really all about the companionship, friendship and camaraderie of hunting together. So young and old, male and female gathered that day while I "shot" with my camera (Smartphone only). In my own mind, I felt like I was doing documentary photography from beginning to end of such an event. For me it truly was the first time. Life has a way of throwing stuff at us. We can choose to ignore it or delve in with our heart and soul.

Aunt Becka is now at Peace with our Lord and circumstances brought me to this place with fond memories of those who have died and those who will go on living for what ever time each of us has left to live our lives to the fullest, in the way that our God would have us serve others.

I know some folks may dislike what I've documented. Please know that I respect that.

September 4th was the first day of Dove Hunting Season and I had the opportunity to document a slice of life that I had never experienced before. It was a wonderful exposure to the commaraderie and expertise that surrounds this form of human bonding.

April 18, 2021 It was a beautiful day in mid-April and since we're still under Pandemic restrictions and safety, the service was held outdoors. Eight wonderful young persons gave some of the most moving Faith Statements I have heard over the years. I wasn't a Confirmand Sponsor this year, but that meant I could document the proceedings the best way I know how to do....

Kylie was a wonderful companion to my best friend who lives in Sylva, NC. Kylie is very special because she came into his home the year the two of us traveled to Alaska together in 2006 to have a hiking and exploration trip. It rained like crazy those days we were there and I had to return home to be by the side of my dying Mother-in-law who I loved dearly....

This past weekend was the height of the Annual Flower Festival. One of the neat attractions for Greenwood is the Topiary Art Creations. There was so much to do this weekend, but all we really got to do was see the Topiary Collection. Here are just a few samples of these great pieces of sculpture.

On June 13th, 2015, the Class of 1960 of Greenwood High School in Greenwood, SC celebrated their 55th Reunion. It was a great time. I have been very fortunate to be able to go with Theresa Kiappes Phillips for quite a few reunion celebrations. They are always very much fun and the class accepts all the spouses with open arms. They are a fun loving group who really do remember the days of their Greenwood High School together. I've posted photos from this year's celebration as well as from their 50th Reunion.
