I know it's been several days since my last post. There's been a lot going on after work and I've found myself short of free time and finding the time to post to the blog. And I know I generally make a much larger post with all the missing days, but considering so many days have passed, I'm just starting with today.
Started the day right off the bat with a wild art find of these guys installing a cow atop a Chick-fil-A billboard along I-540. I wish the sun was coming in from a different direction so I didn't have to blow out the background to see the scene but you can't have everything every time.
And then I had to delay getting to a portrait by trying to find SWEPCO folks working on a power outage in Springdale. A squirrel managed to ground a line and knock out power to a part of the city. After seeing him lying on the curb, he didn't stand a chance. For your convenience, I'm not posting the photo of the squirrel.
Then I finally got to the portrait I had to shoot for our profiles section.
Finally, I went to my little hide-away for editing/transmitting photos when working in Fayetteville -- the Fayetteville Public Library. And one of the librarians recognized me and directed me to another piece of wild art I wasn't even looking for -- an English mastiff (about a 180-lb canine) being used as a therapy dog for kids who lack reading confidence to read to on a one-on-one basis. Seriously. I'm not kidding. The kids read to the dog and the dog actually seems to enjoy the attention. It's a pretty cool program.
