The Girls at the Boy Scouts of America Booth- Eyeing Mobile Ropes Course

Michael and Maura eye Goldie and Tiger

We didn’t play any games but these goldfish were foisted on us by a girl who won them. Sadly, both are deceased already(the first within 24 hours) despite the investment in an aquarium with filter and lights and pretty gravel and conditioning the water etc etc.

The Railroad Display

Petting a calf. The calf was a prize in a drawing. No, we did NOT enter the drawing.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

All seven kids on the inflatable chair at the State Farm Booth. And obviously had them pose for this shot.

On the way back from getting coffee with a colleague last Thursday, before the evening session of Open House, S. showed me this statue. Today I returned to photograph it in the sinking October sunlight.

As I drove home, I was thinking about a mother’s love for her child after spending a little time photographing the sculpture.

Overbrook Boulevard and Ravilla Street intersection.

Here’s a link to the story about how Boy Scout Troop 224 rediscovered this statue beneath vegetation, when just the head was showing through.
