Hitting the Ball

The final game of the summer baseball tournament and one of the Abilene players is hitting the ball.  Abilene won the game 9-0.

It was hot and there was no shade but it was still a kick to photograph something different.

Looking Up at Colorful Umbrellas

In the town of Safety Harbor, FL, there's an artsy neighborhood.  My friend and I were walking around and came upon this area containing displays and this colorful montage of umbrellas hanging from the ceiling.  

An irresistible photo op.

My heart is grateful for:

the fun luncheon I shared with 10 other people from church today

Zooming Umbrellas

We were hoping it would rain so we could practice reflections in the puddles, but it never did rain.  So I tried this zooming effect instead.  I haven't practiced this for years and it's difficult to do when hand holding the camera, but I think it's kind of interesting.

I discarded many, many images while searching for one that was tolerable.  Back in the "film" days, pro photographers would say that if you came home with one good image out of 100, then you had a good day.  I get that!

Today my heart is grateful for:
