Scooper Bowl!


Scooper Bowl!, originally uploaded by laxlaws.

This was the 25th anniversay of the Scooper Bowl - an all you can eat ice cream event to benefit the Jimmy Fund. I recruited my brother and two others to join me and we managed to plow our way through quite a bit of ice cream (as evidenced by the cups we went through) before feeling as though we were going to die. As my brother Christopher put it "one could turn diabetic in an afternoon at this event!"

Bee

Yet another picture captured in the public gardens. I hadn't realized how often they change out the flower beds there! I caught a few of this bee on these beautiful flowers, but I liked this one best as it shows the bee and flower pretty nicely.

Bulldog Boy

Saw this little boy on campus during reunion weekend. If bulldogs were human, I imagine they woudl look like this little boy. He saw me taking his picture and flashed me this grin (?). He reminds me of my brother when he was little - a little bruiser!

Amherst Baseball

I went to Amherst College with Becca for her 5th Reunion. I took this picture as we went down to the baseball field to watch the old geysers play a game against one another. If you're ever around the Amherst campus, I suggest you take a walk around - it's beautiful!

Catepillar

Had to get way down on the ground to capture this shot of the catepillar (centepede, millepede?). It had some great colorful markings on it's back, which can barely be seen from this angle. Hopefully no one stepped on this little guy after I was done with him!
