113 / 365 Before Irene...

This was taken from Truman Bridge, which sits a short distance behind my home. My home is to the left of the frame at the end of the row of homes that you can see on the left side of the image. The little ribbon of water you see at the bottom of this green way is part of the West Branch of the Brandywine River. With the approach of Hurricane Irene; I thought a before image might be in order to help lend some perspective to the conditions that are likely to develop over the weekend. While my home isn't in too much danger (I hope); this little creek will likely transform into a raging torrent with the rain that is expected. Those trees will be mostly under the rushing water...

I am hoping to get some images during and after the storm. If you venture out, please be careful and don't take foolish risks.

Have a great day! (And be safe!!!)

112 / 365 2nd Grade Already

Technically not a real "first" day of school photo; since her first day was Monday, at least I got a few within the first week. Went to a local park for a little bit to enjoy the nice evening and take advantage of some nice light. 2nd Grade already? Time is just speeding along. That's why its so important to document all of the moments big or small whenever possible; you'll be past them before you know it...

Have a great day! - Ed

111 / 365 Getting Bigger

This is another one from last week; the evening that Elise had her hair cut. She wanted to wear her glasses. She will always be my Scootlebug; but she seems to get bigger and bigger every day.

110 / 365 Big Girl Cut

My favorite model made a big change this evening... She got a big girl hair cut! They took off six inches and layered it. Her hair now has most of the curl it did when she was little :) The cut was Elise's idea, and she even let me get a few shots of her new 'do...

107 / 365 Sunset Fireworks

Happy 4th Of July!!!

Not really feeling it recently, and not expecting to shoot anything today, these fireworks came a little earlier than expected. I scrambled for my gear and hustled out to the end of the street. Got very lucky to have a nice sunset in addition to the show. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend...

Have a great day! - Ed
