Durham Carnival, NC, originally uploaded by LahDeeDah Lu.

What a great day this was. I dared to go on this ride with my friend, Baron. He’s the one with the camera in the photo. This is one of my favorite photos and it got chosen as the photo of the week for the State of Things program on WUNC (North Carolina Public Radio) website.

Road kill and the zombie squirrel, originally uploaded by LahDeeDah Lu.

Ok, so this dead squirrel was on the road right by my kids’ school. I passed it and realized that I wanted to take a photo of it, so I stopped and turned around. Just as a turned around, I saw a squirrel walking very slowly across the road… at first it looked drunk. I thought the dead squirrel had come to life… or better yet, turned into a zombie. You can imagine how excited I suddenly got… but then I realized it was just another very slow squirrel, and that dead one was a little more up the road.

It also made me think that maybe there is a family of very slow and depressed squirrels who contemplate suicide regularly.

That’s my son inspecting the squirrel.

um… that’s a kiss , originally uploaded by LahDeeDah Lu.

I was honored to be able to take photographs at a friend’s wedding. I have posted some of the photos from this wedding in my wedding gallery.
