More Lacrosse Action



 


Matthews, NC  2024

Sports photography isn't easy.  I have a new found admiration for those who do such photography for a living.

Lacrosse Action

Pineville, NC  2024

 I never play lacrosse as kid, but it has grown in popularity.  That's my grandson, Colin carrying the big lacrosse stick and playing on defense.  At this time of the year he must play every weekend in a lacrosse tournament somewhere.

Middle James Brewing Co

Waxhaw, NC  2024

Earlier this year, a local Waxhaw brewery, Dreamchaser Brewery went out of business.  The site was taken over almost immediately by Charlotte based brewery, Middle James Brewing Co.  Good beer and better people is their motto.

Front Porch and Water Wheel


Marvin, NC  2024

This old farmhouse/barn sits at the entrance to a large, wealthy community in Marvin.  It looks authentic, but I'm not sure what purpose it once served.

Bales and Fences


Marvin, NC  2024

 This is what is seen next to the abandoned farmhouse shown in yesterday's post.  I don't how long the hay bales have been sitting there, and the garden area does look pretty over grown.  I'm not sure if anyone is maintaining this property or not.

Abandoned


Marvin, NC  2024

This property, especially this house, looks like it hasn't been kept up for many years now.  There are some signs nearby that the property was once a farm of some sort.  It might also still be in use by someone.   This is in stark contrast to the large estates, singe family homes and developments located around this property.

Waxhaw, NC  2024

 

Just one of many goldfinches who visit my feeder.  It's hard to get good shots of these little fellas....
