Yesterday as I was passing one of three or four cemeteries between Catonsville and home, two breaks in an iron fence caught my eye. I know I've been reading certain of my friends' blogs too long, because my first thought was, "Oh crap, there was a zombie escape!"

( another image and a confession )

Sorry about the poor quality -- I did not really aim the camera, just waved it in the general direction with the zoom lens set to wide and hoped the autoexposure would pick a fast enough shutter speed to knock out some of the car's motion and I'd get enough of what I wanted in the frame somewhere and just crop out the rest. (If I'd wanted the shot badly enough, I would've found someplace to park and walked back to the site. It didn't seem that important so I just waved the camera at it as I went by.)

I also added a few more photos from yesterday -- composed, shot with the camera steady -- to my Flickr account, including a couple more things I saw while I was out: a "what is that thing?" and a pair of construction cranes left in a position that made me think of somebody wiring them up as chopstick waldoes.

And now I'd better go get ready for the HCB gig tonight...

On stage now. Trix is teaching a dance. There is a hanging lamp right in my face.
