These kids put on a 4th of July parade on July 2nd. Why not?

They painted their faces, military style:

a new form of treatment

This machine is incredible. It reduces the amount of radiation received by cancer patients by about 43 percent and lowers the time spent in daily treatment. This older gentleman was kind enough to let me take his photograph as he was being prepped for treatment.

My other assignment was Buckle Up Day! Today was the first day that it was legal for officers to pull over people who weren’t wearing their seat belt.

The slug for todays assignment said TRAILERCATS, which reminded me a lot of LASER CATS!

There’s this trailer park in Bonita Springs where the residents vacated pretty quickly, leaving practically all of their possessions behind, including their cats. I was told there was going to be around 15 cats roaming about and eating, but when I got there this morning, I saw about five. Either way, they were being fed and are in need of a good home. I would have taken one with me if I actually lived down here.

I haven’t really shot anything worth uploading over the past few days. I do like this photo of a lizard, though. I’ve had a lot of fun with the lizards around here. Some of them are giant.
