Capture the Moment

Ok call me crazy, but this year I volunteered to be the "official" photographer for my daughter's high school swim team. Uh yea, like I have nothing else to do. But since I have to be outside sweltering in the heat to watch her anyway, I thought, hey, this will be fun. I can get close to the water, get splashed occasionally, interact with the kids and generally have a grand time. And of course it's a great excuse to get a new camera lens! I am by no means a professional in any sense of the word, but for me, the funnest part is to

Capture the Moment

The intensity of effort

The emotion

The camradarie of the team

And then of course there's my kid too.(who happens to be a great swimmer-she qualified for the varsity team last year as a sophomore and went to State -ahem)

Fall-ish

Here in AZ, we don't have fall, or maybe we have five minutes of fall. I am still waiting for fall. When we returned from Portugal, we had a few days of lovely temperatures, that fall-ish tingle in the air and I could feel my body relax and breathe a sigh of relief. However............it went away. (maybe that was our fall) So......to help us hot-weary AZ folks endure the days of 90 degree temps still with us.....I present...Fall.

A year ago at this moment-we were in Palmyra, New York enjoying the beauty and spirit of that wonderful place. So sit back, relax, and live a real Fall.
