Beneath a brow too fair for frowning, like moon-lit deeps that glass the skies till all the hosts above seem drowning . . . Looked forth her steadfast hazel eyes, with gaze serene and purely wise. And over all, her tresses rare, which, when, with his desire grown weak, the Night bent down to kiss her cheek, entrapped and held him captive there. Her loveliness was not alone of face and form and tresses` hue. For aye a pure, high soul shone through her every act. PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

Sweet Lizzy Project is from Cuba, by way of Nashville. People in the crowd sang the lyrics and held up signs. Sweet Lizzy Project is a small band with big talent. I`ve been listening to a lot of their music lately. She`s like a blend of Shakira and Alanis Morissette.

I`m usually comfortably at home at sunset. Tonight I taught a class called Golden Hour Photography. This is not one of the students. A face only a mother hog could love. A glimpse into the past.

I nearly got hit by a ball, but I like being up close. And when I`m far away, my camera still gets the shot. College athletics really bring people together. Maybe the previous caption belongs here. I saw a bloody nose, a yellow card and lots of contact.
