For Immediate Release:

Paint the Town Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Day

    (Washington, NC) - It's time once again to get pumped for those pink t-shirts that stole our hearts in 2009! The 3rd annual Paint the Town Pink Day will be held Friday, October 14th. Eastern Radiologists heads up this project, and this year it has expanded from Washington to include other communities in Beaufort County. Last year, these powerful pink shirts helped raise over $12,000 to benefit the Shepard Cancer Foundation. They can be purchased at Eastern Radiologists, OB/GYN of Washington, Beaufort Hospital gift shop, Lifestyles Medical Fitness Center and Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center and once again the proceeds benefit the Shepard Cancer Foundation. Hurry, there are selling fast!

    Area businesses will be involved with a 'Dress Down' Friday event by allowing their employees to wear jeans to work on Friday October 14th if they buy a Paint The Town Pink T-shirt for $12.00 or a pink breast cancer ribbon pin for $5.00. A number of local businesses are offering discounts to patrons who wear pink into their place of businesses.

    The following businesses are offering discounts: Amy's Hallmark , Historic Bath Site Gift Shop, Baker Building Supply, Inc., Uniforms PRN, Russell's Mens Shop, Down on Mainstreet, Tractor Supply, Boss Hogs, Plantation House Cafe and Catering, Ship on Site, TriCounty Telecom, Frank's Pizza, Washington Jewelers, Georgie's Sports and Oyster Bar, Sheer Elegance, Andy's of Washington, and Marabella's.

    October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month - the month dedicated to educating women about breast cancer by stressing the importance of early detection through regular self-breast exams and mammography. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.

It began as a light rain Thursday night, January 20th, with temperatures a balmy 46 degrees, and by morning a thin layer of ice clung to the firm, bright reddish green Nandina leaves prevalent upon my personal grounds here in Mac'swood.
The renovated and recently revived Turnage Theater has fallen on some pretty hard times as of late, and is being forced to shutter its doors.
I love watching, and taking pictures of small beautiful things just as much as I love making images of wide sweeping vistas. It is all part of God's natural plan, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to record it for all posterity.
After four full days of frozen Mac'swood cabin fever, I struggled out to take an iced numbing look a my old muse.
When the ice took over, it was unrelenting, and with the full sun of cloudless days, the snow saw little melt
It was hailed as the Bomb Cyclone, a storm consisting of warmer moist air from the Gulf of Mexico that picked up a spinning motion after its center crossed the northern Florida coast, now over the Gulf Stream, and without delay barrelled north up the Atlantic Seaboard.
Sunsets are a natural phenomenon, and always a process where one can estimate that the evening will produce a magnificent sunset, but, one can never be altogether sure until it either happens, or the light of the day unceremoniously just turns dark.
