Some Pictures - the Stations

During our trip I was making photographs with both my cell phone and my camera. The cell phone allowed me to post images immediately on facebook and instagram, but photographs on the camera would have to wait until I got home. As is often the case, the phone image of a particular scene that I posted during the trip often turns out to be not as good as one from the camera. That is the case with this picture, which is far better and more interesting than the one I published on April 13, Holy Thursday, in Palermo, Sicily.

Collecting Eggs at the Skemp's Easter Party, Wool Branch, Madison County, NC 1982

Yesterday, John and Vicky Skemp hosted their annual Easter Party at their home on Wool Branch. For those of us geezers, it was a reminder of the passage of time. The children in this photograph, our children, are now in their thirties, many with children of their own. As always, the party was a time of renewal also, a chance to see old friends, and make new ones.
