So here they are. A couple shots that landed in Sunday's paper... just when I thought the old tank was starting to rust, I had the opportunity to get up at 7:30 in the morning to shoot two events, after staying at the office until 1:00am the previous evening thanks to the myriad of high school football games being played throughout the region. God Bless Football. Without it, the fall sports section would be pretty frail. Without it... God knows, I might have a regular sleep schedule! The very idea! (grin)
"He wants a kiss," Bill Duhaime of the Butterfield Trail Stagecoach tells Lindsay Ho and her friend Emma Bates of Fayetteville. Bates and Ho were too shy to kiss the Belgian porterhorse, instead giving it a pat on the nose at the Fayetteville Square Saturday, September 15. Heritage Trail Partners swaggered throughout Fayetteville for its fourth consecutive year to commemorate the historic Butterfield Stagecoach route.

Bill Duhaime and Ron Oakley turn the corner at the Fayetteville Square during one of Heritage Trail commemorative stops along a historic stagecoach route Saturday, September 15. Duhaime and Oakley, along with a small posse of horsemen, swaggered throughout Fayetteville for residents to observe.


As a note, I almost used the word "cavalcade" since it was really the only word to describe a group of people riding on horseback. I knew better, though, and luckily I was right. I liked the word "posse" better, anyhow. It seems tougher.
