KO King and Queen

278/366

We were all hoping the weather reports were going to be wrong.  Before the parade started it was just a drizzle.  It slowly increased and when our Homecoming Court took to their parade route and then onto the field, umbrella's were the only truly needed accessory.

The rain subsided slightly during the game and we were all hoping it would stay that way till the announcing the King and Queen.  Well, Mother Nature had other ideas and with just 2 minutes left in the game, the rain came again.

But no matter how miserable the weather, the court was stunning and our new King and Queen were crowned.  Congrats to Zach McKay and Dana Nardozzi, our KO Royalty for 2016!

And I must say, I did love seeing all those KO umbrellas both on and off the field!

It's Just a Phase

277/366

The "waxing" crescent.  Waxing means the moon is getting fuller in the sky as it moves from the new moon to the full moon.  The period of the waxing moon last about 14 days and the crescent lasts 7.

This the Moon of Regeneration.  The Waxing Crescent moon is partly illuminated by less than one-half, and increasing. Things are moving forward and there is the hope of more to come. It provides a burst of energy and forward moving strength and power that you can tap into. Our plans, dreams and ideas are growing and this is a great period to focus on anything which you would like to deepen, grow and commit to.  

The Moon's role is to shed light on our emotions, unearth old memories, stir dreams and release our intuitive side.

Senior Graffiti

276/366

So it was a little over 24 hours and I was back on the trail, the Montour Trail to be exact with West Allegheny Senior Devin Cimarolli.  We visited 3 different sections of the trail for his senior portraits. My favorite spot was the Enlow Tunnel and all it's graffiti.  We just added a dress shirt and sunglasses and it was picture on!

Looking forward to processing all his shots and I hope he enjoys them as much as I did taking them!

This is their 15 minutes of fame!

Montour Run

275/366

Did some photo recon today as I was checking out spots for Senior Portraits along the Montour Trail. Just a quick 5 min car ride is an entrance to the trail and a quick walk in gets you to the Enlow Tunnel.  Alongside the trail, aptly named is the Montour Run.  Once through the tunnel you get a nice view.

I think we are going to have a good photo day tomorrow!

The Devil Made Me Do It....

274/366

It's not Emmy award-winning television but there is just something I enjoy about Lucifer.  Perhaps it's his accent or just that it lets me escape reality for a bit....but no matter what, this is the best 60 minutes of my Monday.

What's my guilty pleasure?  The thing is I never feel guilty about pleasures.

We're Woodwinds...What's Your Superpower?

273/366

The best looking flute/piccolo section in the band!  These talented young ladies shared a evening of comradery and good eats! They also celebrated the senior musician in the group, Melissa, who is also one of the Drum Majors in the band.

As the section leader, it was Shannon's job to plan the dinner and while normally it would be at our house before a game, we don't live close to either the school or the football field.  So we put our own twist on the tradition.  I enjoyed the no cooking or clean up!

Once upon a time they picked up a flute.....and the rest is history!

Eyeball and Eye Ball?

272/366

This time of year this is always some creepy, fun thing to be found when out shopping.  My son never misses an opportunity to get another new ball, even if it's an "eye" ball.

Every day is Halloween, isn't it?  For some of us.
