Out feature hunting one day, and I saw a big tractor in the engineering courtyard. Apparently, it happens every week, but I had never seen it before (or at least noticed it before), so I stopped to take pictures of UK Grounds employee Betia Collins, who fertilizes all of the plants on campus.

Very excited about this event…and then disappointment.
Lesson Learned: Buy a second battery when you lose your backup.
Basically what happened is that the Christian Student Fellowship (CSF) was attempting to break the world record for the most balloons and the most people at a water balloon fight. I don’t remember the exact number, but I think they purchased about 60,000 (?) water balloons, but they did not have enough people yet when the fight was scheduled to begin. People started getting impatient and threw a few random balloons. After about 20 minutes, the crowd was restless and one thing lead to another and the fight broke out. Well, I was running on a semi-low battery, and I left my camera on the entire time we were waiting, so by the time the fight began, I got a few shots in before my camera died. I had lost my backup battery a couple of weeks before that, so I was a dead fish in the water. Lesson Learned.
(Side note: Like before, toned version on top, not toned below)
So after watching Allie tone photos all last week, I finally decided that I would give it a try. I still don’t really know what I’m doing, (I can’t get a hang of the history brush…), but I’m trying so that counts right? Suggestions, give me a holler. I will keep trying…
The large photos are the ones I toned, and the originals are at the bottom.
Greg and I went to the KY State Fair, mostly to check out the booths and look at the incredible cakes! I took some pictures while I was there, nothing impressive, but I just wanted to put my camera back in my hands.
