Saint George Art Museum in Black and White
Capturing the beautiful autumnal colors in black and white really changes the look. These photographs were captured near the St. George Art Museum.

Giant Carpenter Bees on Wisteria
Giant carpenter bees buzzed by my head as I tried to steal a shot. My heart raced every time one of them flew near my ear. Luckily, Debbie’s wisteria plants had plenty of blossoms to keep them occupied.
On a side note, does anyone have a good solution for seasonal allergies?
Please make a vaccine for allergies.

Alex Boyé at the Sugarloaf
My wife asked me to take some photos today for a school field trip. Luckily, the field trip was at Dixie Rock which is one of my favorite places to hike around and shoot photos. While they were up on the Sugarloaf shooting a music video, I hiked around and snapped some pictures of the event. After about an hour, I thought I heard someone repeatedly shouting my name. I thought I must be delirious from the sun, or the fact I didn’t eat breakfast. I kept hearing, “Joe Cowdell! Joe Cowdell!” Feeling anxious, I called my wife to double-check my sanity. She reassured me that it was Alex Boyé calling my name and that my daughter, just talked to him. I didn’t really know who he was before today, and I doubt I will forget this memorable day at the Sugarloaf.

Ultralights and Paramotors in Flight
While traveling along the Mayor’s Loop we spotted some awesome aircraft about to take off. We stopped at the St. James park and watched them take off and fly through the sky. The man wearing the backpack (Jake flying a Blackhawk 125 cc paramotor) said it weighed about 40-50 pounds. He told us he has a pilot’s license and has flown planes before, but paramotors are his favorite way to fly.
We spoke to them (Jake and Craig) after they landed and they told us about their Youtube channel called St. George Paramotors. It has many excellent paramotor flight videos. They even made a chase cam for their GoPro.
