Have you heard of The N.O.R. Foundation? It’s a group of Triangle friends who joined together after the loss of one of their dear friends to kidney cancer in 2009. N.O.R. stands for neighbors offering relief, and that’s what they do … offer relief by setting up cornhole tournament fundraisers. Their second annual event was [...]

Louisiana school buses are owned by individuals not the state. We found this bus for sale on the side of Hwy. 84 in Winnfield. It looked a like great place for a photo shoot. Judging by all the honking horns, passersby thought it was a good idea, too. Gina we hope you sell your bus [...]

As I was scrolling through Facebook updates on my iPhone, I came across a challenge. A photo challenge, that is. My dear friend, Faith Dwight, who is a creative photographer and inspired writer at Great Smitten inspired me with her lovely images of yellow. Yellow flowers. Yellow walls. Yellow peppers. You get the idea … [...]

// All week, we’ve heard on the news, “It’s going to snow, it’s going to snow.” The weather forecasters were right on target this time. Snow started falling Friday night around 7 in North Raleigh and within a few hours, blanketed the tops of outdoor tables, cars and trees. Still none was sticking to the [...]

Knock Out Roses Plays the Lincoln

Wendy — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 05:07:34 +0000

// There’s a chill in the air. It’s Friday night at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theatre. At five minutes to nine, the five-member-band Knock Out Roses stands outside of the back entrance (a heavy, metal door with no visible exterior door handle) sharing a last minute cigarette and a few encouraging words. “So, who are you guys [...]

Floating Fall Foliage

Wendy — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:39:05 +0000

tyntVariables = {"ap":"Read more: "}; The barometer hovered around 58 degrees at 7:15 a.m., as we drove across the narrow, two-lane bridge suspended above Falls River.

We all like shiny things, right? I don't actually know how to drive a motorcyle, but I love taking photos of them when I see them. Here 's one of my favorites. If you're more into words, check out the story I wrote about the Ray Price Capital City Bikefest from 2008.
