Today was a busy day for picture taking, and it started at 12:05 a.m. when I wandered into the East Lawrence Train Depot to see what was going on.
What was going on turned out to be a midnight performance to greet the passengers arriving on the Amtrak train.
The performance series is part of an effort by Carey Maynard-Moody and other depot preservationists to raise awareness for the depot in the city and to just have some fun.
I stuck around for a while, as did a small crowd of people gathered around the depot's main room. Even the train conductor enjoyed a few numbers, coffee in hand, before he had to leave to ensure his train's 12:30 departure time.
The performance series is ongoing, so stop by some Friday evening if you're in downtown Lawrence. Come support the depot - you never know who might be playing there!
After a few hours of sleep, it was time to take the dogs out for a run at the dog park. Farley and Lucy both enjoyed a good romp with some other Lawrence dogs and a nice long swim in the Clinton Lake Dam outlet river (and boy, did they get dam dirty!).
They even posed just long enough for me to snap a couple of pictures on a haystack. (In this one, Emily has just given them the Okay! command).
That night Em and I drove out to our friend Jeff's house near Baldwin City to take some family pictures.
On the way back we were driving towards the kind of open-country sunset that begs for you to pull off the side of the road and either 1) take some pictures, or 2) put the camera down already and just enjoy the view!
I opted for choice number one.
All in all it was a full day of picture taking, and a great day to be out experiencing Lawrence to the fullest!
