Northwest Arkansas’ school bells rang Wednesday morning as area schools began the 2009/10 school year.

I spent the most of this morning in a canoe with Boy Scouts from Troop 107 in Springdale as the troop used the boats to help clean Lake Springdale and the surrounding park. Ron Mynatt, a parent and a troop leader, said the scouts planned to camp at the lake and then continue the clean-up the next day on Spring Creek between Silent Grove Road and North Pump Station Road. The city allowed the troop to camp at the lake in exchange for the clean-up.
The Illinois River Watershed Partnership and Springdale Natural Trailblazers also assisted with the clean-up.

Jut a few photos from the 56th Annual Kiwanis Kids Day Football event in Springdale Wednesday.

The annual Rodeo of the Ozarks parade was held over the July 4 weekend at Parson Stadium in Springdale. This is possibly one of my favorite events to shoot all year, despite my intense fear of horses. This year, I really tried to focus on using the evening light streaming into the stadium. It provides for such a moody image, full of bold colors.

Hundreds of area residents turned out for the 2009 Rodeo of the Ozarks’ annual Fourth of July parade in downtown Springdale. Here is a gallery of images from the parade.

Today and last week I shot some photos at the Challenger Sports British Soccer Camp in Springdale and Rogers. Ajay Nwosu, a coach with Challenger Sports British Soccer Camp, said the soccer camp provides young players with soccer coaching from a team of international experts from the United Kingdom. He said the campers learn individual foot skills, technical drills, lessons in self-discipline, good sportsmanship and respect for others and for the game. To me it just looked like a lot of fun.
Enjoy!
