The holiday break is fast approaching and I have much left to do. But not so much to prevent me from wishing everyone the best for the holidays. Stacie Bird worked a bit of Photoshop magic to make this picture.
Kelly Schoeninger, Assistant Director of Development (left) and Debra King, staff assistant, recently joined the staff of the college Development office. I was making new photographs of them for their Web site and saw the Christmas tree nearby and couldn't resist making this picture to send out some holiday cheer.
Penn State president Graham Spanier sent an email yesterday with a link to a holiday message. The Penn State YouTube video asks what people did this year and what they look forward to in 2010.
There's something about a bee suit that makes for a good picture. Having it donned by a kid is just gravy. You can't go wrong. This young lady was part of a group of elementary school students who were visiting campus to learn about the range and diversity of agricultural enterprises. These students were learning about the importance of honeybees and how they are managed.
Cockroaches hold a special fascination for kids. This group was learning how they might quantify insect movement using a digital timer and sheets of white and black paper. At least I think that's what they were doing. I neglected to take notes instead relying on my less reliable memory.
Some of the most comfortable chairs at University Park are in the lobby of the Forestry Building. I was waiting on the second floor for a portrait subject when I looked down and saw this young man sleeping. Or at least I thought he was sleeping. When the shutter of the Nikon D700 fired his eyes opened. He didn't know where the sound came from but it was obvious he was neither sleeping or listening to anything or he would not have heard the camera.
When I don't ride my Vespa to work I have to park in the East Parking Deck which affords me different scenery during the walk to the office. This morning was cold and frosty so I needed to see something a bit warmer. This picture of the courtyard outside of ASI Building was made on November 23, 2009. There were still leaves on the trees and it was warm in the morning.
