Last week, while we were taking the pictures in Anderson for a DCA Advent series, we accidentally happened to be downtown during a big biker rally. We were down off of the main street when we started hearing motorcycles go by. And they kept going by. When we walked out to the main street, there were bikes filling the street as far as we could see in either direction. A lot of them had toys on their bikes or were throwing out candy, so I'm guessing it was some sort of charity event. I pulled my camera out and got a few pictures.
This one captures the feel of the event best:
And this one is my favorite from a purely aesthetic standpoint:
(There were a few old cars participating in the rally/parade after the bikes. Also a bunch of four wheelers in a group and one moped mixed in with the motorcycles. I wish I'd caught that guy with my camera.)
This morning we displayed the result of that photo excursion at church:
It's the first of a series, so it's meant to evoke a sense of anticipation rather than standing on its own. I really hope the series as a whole works out. Liz and I got to watch the Collier boys Friday night so Winn and Miska could have the night away. One of the boys favorite things to do was play with the instruments Liz and I brought, along with a few they already had at the house.
Liz had to go to work Saturday, so it was just me and the boys for a while. We played in their room, went to a birthday party (where someone asked if I could be hired for parties), and just generally had a lot of fun.
The only downside of this week is that I'm kind of sick (I hope I didn't give it to the boys!). But the virus will go away soon. The memories will last.
