Uh Oh ::

If you've tried to look at any of the linked photographs since yesterday you've been presented with an "account suspended" page. The photographs should be back up later today so check back. I generally use throw-away prepaid debit cards for most things I do on the internet just in case there is a problem with a purchase on-line. I ran into something like this a short time back and had to switch cards yesterday.

Although this blog is hosted by Blogger, all of the linked photographs are up on another server located in Arizona. This gives me a lot more flexibility in being able to present different sizes.

Be patient and we'll be back up soon!

Veterans Day-2010 ::

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Kathryn Scheldt, Camden Native ::

I came across a Facebook link to Kathryn Scheldt (I remember her as Kathy Scheldt) on Pam Mosier's Facebook page. Kathryn is a singer/songwriter now living in Fairhope, Alabama, and she has 4 CDs available for purchase, one of which, "In The Middle Of It All", has a song titled "Camden". Now, I'm a firm believer in supporting local independent artists and Kathryn's music is available from several sources including Amazon and I-Tunes.

I haven't bought a physical CD in several years now and I generally buy my music from the Amazon MP3 store and then download the music to my Ipod, but I urge everyone to go to one of the download sites, listen to the 30 second clips, and support Kathryn's music by buying what you like.

Sad ending to the season:

Berkley--36
Camden--28

It was still a good run!

A Topiary Garden In Bishopville ::

I came across this photo essay in Harpers Magazine and thought it was very interesting. Here's a link to the photographs on the Harpers web site. It is a large PDF file so give it time to download. I hope it's not behind a paywall. I subscribe to Harpers and have access and hopefully everyone else will also.



I may try to visit Bishopville on my next trip to Camden. I haven't been there in over 40 years. I wonder if it's changed any?
