Hearts in Motion fundraiser/ Kara going away party

Last Saturday my friend Kara had a going away party at Chain O Lakes Bar and Grill. It was also a fund raiser for what she is going away for. She is traveling to Guatemala for 6 months(ish)with a group called Hearts In Motion (http://www.heartsinmotion.org). Basically they provide care and medical treatment to children and families. I believe one of the things Kara will be doing is working at a orphanage that this group built not to long ago when she was down there last. In talking to Kara she is very passionate about what the group is doing. She threw a great party Saturday and I believe raised some money for Hearts in Motion. From everything I have read and everything I have heard from Kara it sounds like such a great thing and I can tell its really touched her as well. Its a pretty cool thing and I hope that someday here I can make the trip down for a few days to help. Check out the pics below..just a few from the evening. Also check out the Hearts in Motion website. If you would like to contact Kara her email is kmurray1@hotmail.com!

Couple one from my Flickr

Here are a couple from my Flickr 365 thingy. Second one is my just messing around with a "home studio" i am working on in the basement...

And I took one of the photos and made a Obamicon with it. :)

Beautiful.

Yesterday was so inspiring. No matter what your political beliefs are it is a beautiful thing to watch the peaceful transition of power. This was one of my favorite moments of the whole day. I could watch it a million times.

Public Enemies

The other night at the Golden Globes Johnny Depp was introduced as the star of the upcoming movie Public Enemies. So I figured I would revisit some of the photos I took while they were filming here in Wisconsin. A post from back in May of last year on here has photos of Depp and these photos are all from Madison with Christian Bale and Billy Crudup at the Capitol.

Some more Door County

Door County in Winter.

I have never been to Door County in Winter..at least not that I can remember. It was beautiful and quiet up at the tip. Stopped at cave point county park which was beautiful and dangerous. And there were alto less tourists! Here are some photos.

Some of me.

Few pictures from my Flickr 365 project.

Gills Rock in Door County this last weekend..I like this one. It was very peaceful and quiet. Only the wind. And no people.
