Had a great day yesterday. Found some more interesting properties to photograph. This photo is a little washed out looking in my opinion though, it was quite overcast and the contrast is lacking. I'll be working on that later today.

One of the buildings we most wanted to get into had city workers preparing to demolish it, so we could not get near the place. We did find another abandoned farmhouse, but decided to stay outside as it did not look very stable and was emanating a rather foul and musty odor. In the middle of the day, we checked out a conservation area which proved to be a real gem. Great sand beach, man-made lake, beach volleyball, barbeques, and best of all nobody else was there! We are definitely going back with a group of people to spend the day before the summer is gone.

While driving around looking for photographic opportunities, we passed what appeared to be a crime scene. Two sets of police were combing the ditches, which led us to believe they might be looking for a weapon of some sort. Further on, we passed a house that was completely cordoned off with the yellow tape, and swarming with more officers. Watched the news when we got home, but nothing. I'm dying to know what was going on.

Visited a very old graveyard, and while trying to clear off and read a stone, an odd thing happened. I said to Trevor "I wonder what this says", he starts to say to me " I found another one", when his phone rings once and displays the word "Hi" on the screen. That was it. Since we are both foolish believers of the supernatural, we were convinced someone was greeting us from beyond the grave, possibly the 12 year old girl who's stone we had just been examining.

Ended the day with a great dinner, and went to spend the rest of the evening with Tom. All in all one of the better days I have had recently!
