So I apologize about my week long hiatus from blog posts.  I had several days off from work to travel home to be with my family as we held memorial services for my grandfather, or Bebop as my cousins and I called him.  It’s difficult to say goodbye to someone, but it was nice to have a few days with my entire family all together.  I didn’t take many photos, but thought I’d share these two that I snapped with my phone.  We all went to the pagoda, a Reading landmark, and had a very moving few moments as hawks circled above us, and church bells rang throughout the city.  Then of course we had a big toast to celebrate the great life he had and family he created.

When I got back to State College it was right back into the swing of things with a busy Friday afternoon, and a high school football game.  Since I was running around so much I didn’t get to my game till the sun had already set in the sky.  The stadium lights aren’t as strong as I’d like them to be, so I pumped up the ISO to capture the action as Bellefonte crushed Philipsburg-Osceola.
