Greens......Just Two Bunches Left


A few weeks ago when I was in Wylam to photograph the Habitat for Humanity home, I passed this vegetable stand, in what was once an old service station. Earlier in the week when I went by, the buggy was full of turnip greens. This day there were only two bunches left. If you are thinking, "Greens, I thought you ate the turnips!!!", well... you're not from around here.

Drive-By Preacher



This enthusiastic gentleman has been spreading the Good Word for years in Homewood. Every weekend he faithfully stands on the side of the road praising the Lord over his loud- speaker and waving a fine collections of signs. West Lakeshore Drive at Wildwood Shopping Center is a busy, busy 4 four lane road, and I've always wanted to stop but was hesitant. Yesterday I was with my photography bud Bill. Bless his heart, he's always up for a photo shoot, so he pulled over on the shoulder and out I jumped. Don't worry about Bill, he dodged cars and ran across to the median for a better shot!! I stayed put and this is what I got. You can see our new friend had a very nice sombrero on top of his usual dapper hat. What a nice man. If you pass him , be sure and honk!
