Back to school

Well, it's back-to-school time here in Northwest Arkansas. So here's a couple photos from the first day back at Holcomb Elementary School (Monday) in Fayetteville and also a few from move-in at the University of Arkansas (Sunday). I also threw in a couple pics from an Ultimate tournament that I shot for some wild art on Sunday as well.
