Getting Ready

Knowlesville Posted on August 28, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
KLR650 mods

Three days to go and this is what the bike looks like. It isn’t supposed to look like this, but I’m still working on the electrical add-ons. The good news is that I got that part of the work done …

High Speed Crash

Knowlesville Posted on August 23, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
High speed crash

We don’t get very many traffic accidents in Ferndale. First the town is only 1 square mile so we don’t have many roads. Second we don’t have any signals, and most of the roads are only 25mph, so chances for …

Scared Deer

Knowlesville Posted on August 20, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Doe and fawns

Going out to the truck this morning I came across a doe and her two Bambies munching away in our yard (amazingly they were eating weeds!). I startled them and mommy deerest took off, crossing the driveway and lept over …

Fair Hawk

Knowlesville Posted on August 19, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Hawk

This morning when the commercial building at the fair opened up a hawk flew in. It stayed in the building all day and ended up spending the night. We all hoped it came in to take out the exotic bird …

Country Fire

Knowlesville Posted on August 17, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Fire drill

Our fire drill this month was a country fire, where we made use of the country hydrants and water tenders to provide water to the fire. Jerry Lema provided the huge bonfire. Nobody remembered to bring the marshmallows though.

Three Headed Chicken

Knowlesville Posted on August 13, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Three headed chicken

All kinds of oddities can be seen at the fair, such as this three headed chicken. The two little heads were a bit spastic, and would appear and disappear at random. There were lots of other crazy looking chickens in …

The Booth

Knowlesville Posted on August 12, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Fair Booth

Pretty much the same booth this year as last, although the backdrop got a new covering of felt. The most important thing though is that we retained our coveted position between the candy booth and the ice cream booth. Very …

Duck Races

Knowlesville Posted on August 11, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Duck Races

One of the features at the fair is duck races. These started in an Arizona town in the desert where apparently there wasn’t any other form of local entertainment. Now this guy makes a pretty good living traveling the county …

Match Race?

Knowlesville Posted on August 10, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Toyota Police Vehicle

Something new this year was a display of Toyota cars and trucks. Some were race vehicles and some were concept cars, like this mock highway patrol car. CHP also has a display at the fair featuring one of their Camaro …

Hay Fire

Here’s the view of the trailer from the upwind side. The hay stack had to be totally torn apart to get everything out.

Mobile Grass Fire

Knowlesville Posted on August 8, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Hay fire

FVFD responded to a mutual aid call in Loleta for a trailer load of hay that caught fire. The trailer suffered a flat tire near Fernbridge, and what the owners didn’t realize was that the flat tire got hot enough, …

High Fashion

Knowlesville Posted on August 2, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
Jessica

Several years ago we shot Jessica wearing a 1930s black velvet dress and a few other items from our vintage clothing collection. Then she went off to college and she’d usually stop by the studio during her school breaks and …

White Out

Knowlesville Posted on August 1, 2006 by MattMay 29, 2019
White Out

Here’s the photo that was entered into the juried competition for the fair. This was from our experimental session and this was definitely the most different shot of the day. I wanted to make the shot as white as possible …
