New in the Gallery

Finally some photography! Other than my daughters wedding and engagement photos I haven't taken my Nikon anywhere interesting in the last year. It used to go everywhere with me. The fact is, I have so many interests that on occasion one jumps to the front of the line and others take a backseat. Then there's my health. My arthritis is bad enough that it makes it nearly impossible to trek around the trails up here or even go to a knee for just the right angle.

I took these this last weekend during my parents 50th wedding anniversary trip. I love this beach and was glad I could get at least one sunset in. The dolphins were a surprise. I've not seen them so close to the beach. I had my camera trained on their location as did my sister in law and people actually thought it was the first time we'd seen the ocean. They stopped laughing when I pointed out the dolphins they'd been missing. :)

Mulder for the win

So the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament is over. Mark Mulder won it for the second time with Mardy Fish 2nd and Jack Wagner 3rd. My husband, daughter and I volunteer every year and it's always a blast. My favorites are Jack Wagner and Larry the Cable Guy. Jack is always so nice and he tends to remember my daughter and I. I'm always #TeamJack so this year I gave him a ball marker with that printed on it. Larry was sweet enough to take a quick selfie with me. The crowds were insane for Justin Timberlake. Ironically, neither my daughter or I are big J.T fans so it wasn't a big deal standing or walking next to him. I was tongue-tied enough talking to Jack, I always am. :) But it was some great golf and I got to see a lot of it close up. Always a blast. Maybe one day I'll take a decent photo with Jack. That day the wind was really whipping. :)
