Tailgate shopping

Nothing says Summer in Nebraska like sweet corn. Sometime around the beginning of July, pick up trucks with their beds heaped high with fresh sweet corn begin showing up in Lincoln. They park in parking lots all over the city. Everyone has their "favorite"truck.... On the way home from work just pull up and buy the sweetest, freshest corn on the planet. Grilled talapia and sweet corn tonight!

Practice, practice, practice...

I spent the afternoon taking photos at the Sunken Gardens here in Lincoln. Experimenting with my camera, trying to understand it a little more. Trying to make it my friend instead of my frustration, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, etc, etc, etc.

There are very few places that are this beautiful this time of year here in Nebraska after weeks of temps in the high 90s and low 100s. An oasis in the heart of Lincoln!

Represent'n

You probably didn't see or hear any stories about the March for Life in DC held last Monday. Thousands of pro life Americans marched and showed their support for the unborn.
I am always amazed that 3 "occupy" wherever protesters can make the top news story by sitting on a park bench speaking nonsense, but a group over 100,000 strong barely gets a mention on the nightly news or more than 5 lines in the paper. Sad.

Tomorrow, Lincoln NE will hold our own annual March for Life. Bede and I will be there for the 8th year in a row. Catholics, all people of faith and everyone who respects life, from birth til natural death needs to represent! The time has come for us to speak up, to be present, to make our voices heard. We will not quit. We will never change our minds. Life is sacred, always has been, always will be, no matter who is making policy. Life is not POLICY.
Wherever you are, in whatever way you can, be a part of the Pro-Life voice.
