Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Cape Girardeau - 3/4

So you may not be seeing pictures from me for a while.  I’ve decided that it would be more beneficial to my team if I were to concentrate my efforts on the projects themselves rather than documenting them.  I’ve been rationalizing my photo bombardments with my injuries and poor conditioning, but the only way I am going to get stronger is if I push through the maladies.  This is not to say I will never take pictures again… let’s just say we’re giving someone else a chance to shine and take some great shots.  I’m hoping someone takes advantage of the opportunity as I’d love to be in more pics!

Photography disclaimer aside, this month I’ve returned to my roots: Cape Girardeau.  The last time I was here I was practically living in Tower Grove Park.  It feels like it has been years since we journeyed through that chapter of my life.  Time is funny like that sometimes.  Anywho, I’ve been informed that this area is under new management so it is hard to say what we’ll be doing.  Today we cut and sprayed Bush Honeysuckle so it is a fair assumption that eliminating invasives will be among our future tasks.  I’m also hoping for a prescribed burn.  For that to happen this snow needs to go ahead and melt itself or go back to Canada… or something.  All I want this week is a little bit of variety.  Good to switch things up, ya know?  Whatever the challenge may be I’ll take it head on.

Lights just went out so I am going to take my leave for now.  While I may not be taking any new photos, there’s nothing wrong with sharing a few older ones!  Enjoy these gems that were taken during Mardi Gras.  If you’ve never been to a huge Mardi Gras event (St. Louis or New Orleans), I highly recommend participating in one.  Night all!
