Our party of four (two writers, another photographer, and yours truly) arrived in Knoxville Saturday at about 1p.m. It was a sea of orange as far as the eye could see.
Once in the stadium, we were relegated to the smallest and most ill-equipped photo room I have ever been in. No wireless connection, barely enough space to fit our laptops, and wires criss-crossing all over the tables and hanging from the ceiling. The feeling of unease grew as Tennessee made touchdown after touchdown. So did the noise. I have to hand it to those Tenn. fans, they may only know one song, but they know it well. I must have heard “Rocky Top” twenty times, no joke. It seemed to burst from them at every opportunity.
Georgia made two touchdowns, Tenn. made five.
As quarterback Matthew Stafford later said in the interview room while I took photos of him, “they just played better than us.”

Every fall Washington Farms in Watkinsville, Ga. builds a corn maze on their property that they open to the public. Every year before the maze opens, the farm hires a helicopter pilot to fly photojournalists over the fields to get a good look at the maze and tour the farm. In the fall the farm also sells pumpkins, has a hay ride, a petting zoo and a playground, as well as a corn canon and pumpkin launcher.

Donna Washington holds out of a jar of homemade peach preserves that the farm makes and sells to the public. Peach preserves are very popular with the public, she said, but she prefers her homemade apple butter, also for sale.
Washington Farms grows a variety of sizes of pumpkins for everything from pies and Halloween decorations to gifts for school children on field trips. One of the largest pumpkins he’s grown, says farmer John Washington, was nearly 120 pounds.

Classes, which have been offered since September, begin and end with a stretch and feature a combination of both yoga and ballet movements.
Students in Either’s class on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 include: Anjanette Williams (black top), Julie Hinkle (pink), Brenda Rashleigh (purple) and Lydia Clark (teal).Classes are $48 for members for six weeks or $10 for drop in classes; non-members are charged $60 for six weeks and $12 for drop in classes.

Mary Jean Hartel, a young adult audiovisual librarian, teaches the “Henna Hands for Teens” workshop on June 12 through June 14, 2007, at the Athens-Clarke County Library on Baxter Street in Athens, Ga. On day one of the workshop, students learn how to draw henna designs, then practice for day two (painting on the real henna) by drawing the designs they choose on their hands. “The kids will be wrapped up like mummies tomorrow” says Hartel, referring to wrapping the henna to protect it while it sets into the skin. Hartel told her students that in India, a woman puts on henna for her wedding day, and when she moves into her husband’s house after the wedding, if her henna still shows, she does not have to do housework. Henna tattoos can last for up to two weeks if the henna is undisturbed overnight.
