A busy weekend
June 21, 2009I worked this weekend, and like any other, it was busy, busy, busy.
Friday night, I was called out to a HUGE house fire. (True story: I could see the smoke from my apartment.)

Saturday morning, I attended the Juneteenth festival and celebration at a local park.

And Saturday afternoon, I hiked it over to the local skate park to photograph its first competition.

And today? Well, I shot baseball and weather art today.
All in all, a good, productive and HOT weekend.
