🕷️ Trigger Warning!

Over the last few weeks I've noticed an increase in the number of webs around the house. As long as they're staying to themselves they can stay, but yesterday the yard guys made a mess of a few webs and these spiders immediately went to work cleaning up. It's been interesting to see them build their homes and even grow in size, one of them has been living here for over a month.

I grabbed my macro lens and took a few photos. It's incredible the colors and textures of these things most people don't even want around.

Congratulations, in advance, to all those who made the cut!

⭐️ A little then vs now...Over 10 years ago, November 2013, the Blue Star Memorial Highway marker was installed on Hwy 70 near Spence. Did you know that it was there?

Last week the Evergreen Garden Club relocated it to Downtown Goldsboro to that it could be better maintained and seen by more people. Not only did the garden club have to request approval by the NCDOT to install the marker originally, but they had to submit another request to move the marker. Thanks to their dedication people will now be passing the marker driving 25 mph instead of 55.

If you don't know much about these markers I would tell you it's worth a quick search.

🌳 A week ago was a more signifcant than most people in Wayne County realize.

Not only was a placeholder Freedom Tree, a sapling from the original is being nurtured until it's large and strong enough, our Blue Star Memorial marker was moved from Hwy 70 near Spence to Downtown Goldsboro and a new Gold Star Memorial market was added. The roundabout at Center and Spruce is entering its second phase of life as a reminder of our military who serve and who have given all to protect our freedom.

As you pass this new memorial area, take a moment to be thankful.

☔️ Was it even NC Freedom Fest if it didn't rain?

Ashley Cooke was a whole vibe performing in the rain and people loved it. I'll share more pics from Saturday soon!

🇺🇸 NC Freedom Fest is tomorrow and I thought I'd share my inspiration for this year's marketing materials.

My goal was to move Jet into true mascot status and give him a "rookie card." Inspired by baseball designs in the 90's, I used fonts and shapes to draw attention to the two most important pieces of information, what and where.

Already scheming on next year, I can wait to start work on the next one. See you tomorrow!!!

I was referred to the NC Gang Investigators Association by a local non-profit leader (you know who you are...thank you). A few weeks ago I attended their annual conference to work on a video to help them share how their organization works to minimize violet crimes across the state.

There was a long list of important people who helped to kick off the event, including the governor, but my favorite part was the morning of the first day. I was sitting in a room with the board members and I hear "Was that Casey Mozingo?"

I can't get out of Goldsboro without knowing someone. 😂 But in all seriousness I was happy to see officers from Goldsboro Police Department in attendance. It was both comforting in the momement (to know someone) and long term because I know that our city is actively working to make Goldsboro a safer place.

📸 Some of my favorites from the Wayne Country Day senior banner shoot. I love that these kids bring their own ideas and arent afraid to do something out of the box.
