Photorama: Wilkes-Barre 2010 - Four Months Late but Still Gorgeous
It has been long enough since I gave your eyeballs a bit of a rest with the pretty colors and absence of sesquipedalia, so maybe it’s time to resort again to the photo files. These were taken in August on a family vacation. We had a great time and this is not representative of all that, though you may notice some great times amidst the margins. That’s where I keep ‘em, you know.

Inside the brewery, this is a stick for measuring… something:
At the local burned-out warehouse that I visited one early morning for a photo session - a few glamor shots:
Finally, at the big family reunion party, here’s li’l Jesse taking a slide down the grassy knoll:
That’s all for now - Zach wants the computer to play some games. I’ve got more photos and essays all stacked up for you, so watch your back!
