It is a night of grabs for Sadie, foreground. We call her the master of the grab. Here she samples Sam's coffee. Earlier she got BBQ chicken, a strawberry and a cookie. She is very fast.

A portrait of me taken by my 3-year-old great niece Angel. She asked if she could take a picture so I showed her how to do it. Angel is a fast study and quickly began experimenting. I'm pleased with her first effort.
In spite of overcast and threatening skies several hundred people show up in downtown Richmond today to walk for Diabetes. The annual event is sponsored by the local chapter of the American Diabetes Association.*
The James River High School Dance Team from Midlothian, Va., perform during the morning festivities surrounding the walk.*
The walk was not just for people. Dogs also participated.*
Sponsors like the crew, above, from Cavalier Telephone set up booths in Monroe Park where the Monument Avenue walk began and ended. Their contributions assure that nearly all the monies raised are used to fight Diabetes.**
Television personality Diane Walker serves as master of ceremonies.**
Many participants wear stickers with the name of the relative or friend they are woking for on it. Ferris, who has diabetes, walks for himself. He will run most of the course and be the third person to finish.*
It takes most participants more than an hour to complete the 5 kilometer course ...*
... and Bonnie the Bon Secour bunny greets them all.*
Children try Hula Hoops and indulge in face painting. The rain held off until the event was finished early afternoon.*
Angel my great niece dances before Tiger Woods in her grandparent's home.*

... and quickly assumes the role of a 45-pound lap dog.
Trudy White, daughter of Chick-fil-A founder Truitt Cathy, leads a group of students on a values tour as part of a gap year program for high school graduates. The students explore values, service and leadership for an academic year before entering college.
John White at the entrance of the Dwarf House in Hapeville, site of Truitt Cathy's first restaurant where he perfected his chicken sandwich. From here it grew into the mulit-billion dollar Chick-fil-A Corporation. John is Trudy's husband and director of Winshape, the charitable foundation founded by Cathy that sponsors the gap year program.
Chelsea passes through the door of the original Dwarf House. She is a participant in the program and the daughter of a writer/editor I worked with ... well ... long before she had Chelsea.
It was a day to connect with old friends. Wolfgang, left, Eric, right, and I worked on a number of projects together when we all lived in Atlanta 14 years ago. Eric and I moved to Richmond about the same time where we worked together until three years ago. Both are phenomenal video producers.
Mallards take to the air over Short Pump. About 20 ducks circled overhead for several minutes, perhaps practicing for their migration south in a few weeks.

Gibbs Frazeur and I play dueling cameras over breakfast — his Canon versus my iPhone ...
... he conceded at the table, but I think he won!
Truitt Cathy — founder of Chick-Fil-A — in his "treehouse office" (as he calls it) outside Atlanta. I first photographed him 30 years ago. When I mentioned that he said, "You look familiar." He is now 88, comes to the office everyday, and continues to be active in business and charity. He life is an incredible model of compassion, integrity and giving back. May his tribe increase.
Rain continues today. This was taken about 2:30 in the afternoon. Flooding closed an interstate highway and six people died in the area as a result of the storm.
Tucked in a building away from the storm, officers of a communication professionals organization meet. At one point we are linked via the internet to six locations in three time zones. Stacy, above foreground, makes a point while Kelly, rear, keeps the live feed going.
Cam tossed a ball during the meeting while the storm continues outside. The building we are in closes early due to flooding and traffic in the area. Our agenda is pushed, but we cover everything on it.
Geese fly over one of the flooded areas checking for a place among the expanding bodies of water where they can settle in.
Neighbors, above and below, watch Freeman Lake spill across its banks ... 
... blocking one of the roads into their lakeside community and flooding basements.
The overflow for Freeman Lake is somewhere beneath the whorl pool, overwhelmed by all the water the lake has taken in over the past several days.
Mansukh Dhanani comes to view the swollen lake. He is overseeing construction of the white building in the background. When completed it will be a temple to the Hindu god Swaminarayan. "When water comes like this," he says, "maybe people remember God and pray.
Some of the kids at Cambridge, above and below, being themselves. 
On approach to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, storm clouds blanket Atlanta. Heavy showers delayed my flight and the friend I was to have dinner with canceled because of water spilling into the ground floor of his house.
Some of you asked. Here is Jermaine (see Sept. 20th post) in his full Superman costume. You're right, he is ripped ... but not the way you thought ... well, maybe ... who knows?
