Raising the Flag

Medal of Honor ceremony today in Gettysburg.

Foliage

From a story about fall foliage, with design help from Shane Dunlap (who said the center should be aligned better so I'm mentioning that as a disclaimer).

This photo is not staged

Came across this couple at a live music festival. Married 40 years and still like each other. They laughed and laughed but I was impressed.

Sometimes you troll the backroads and you don't find anything publishable for the paper but you do find a goat eating leaves on its hind legs.

Swimmers

Heat

A feature I grabbed while at a sports assignment today. Sometimes it's hard to be on this side of the lens, although it has really cooled down in the last 24 hours.

Crowning the Apple Queen

Scenes from Biglerville's annual Apple Festival: Outgoing Apple Queen Brooke Eastman shares a quiet moment with her dad before heading to the pageant's stage; a contestant waits in the wings; the crown carrier waits to get the show on the road (actually, his dad said he yawns when he gets nervous).
