Cass in Big Sur


Did I tell you we went to Cali in Late March? Yep. up and down the State
San Fran, Napa, San Diego and all over the state - it seemed.
Just a little rented Focus and away we went. Father/Daughter Road Trip!!
Stayed longer at my cuz's B&B in Vista. aarne@vistabandb.com
Say hello to Aarne and Marg.
Had no clue where we were and actually had to look this little spot up to find it was Little Sur LH and a state park. Of course, the whole area seemed like a state park as we drove. Could not stop enough. Over load with photo ops. After this shot, I believe I finally gave in and we used only one camera. Great trip and - if you haven't been - you gotta go. Painting I did upon return.
Digitally enhanced a bit - but - what the hey. Looks okay to me. Loved the diagonal brush - must be a hellavuh breeze.

Clemens


Clemens seems to be making a few headlines today and for the past couple of months. I just thought I would post him to make him feel a little better. Where he goes and what he does in the weeks, months, years ahead is somewhat of a controversy. Is this the poster child of the steroid era along with the Bonds, the Cansecos, the McGwires, and the whole list of others listed in the Mitchell Report? It seems like it's never ending. However, when talking about the history of baseball over the past 100 years or so, the Steroid Era of the last 10 years certainly seems to overshadow the rest. For better or worse, Clemens has definitely left an imprint on the sport whether it be with his character or his athletic prowess.

Sea Pines


Sea Pines down in South Carolina. Trip went great and I strolled out the day of departure and took this shot. Very nice place and extremely quiet. The Drifter is an excursion boat and rented out for day trips. Too short of stay for that type of adventure. Would have loved to explore the islands more. Maybe next time. Tried several different layouts for this pic and the first one seemed the best. How come it seems to work out that way?

The OPEN


This is O'Meara after several unsuccessful attempts to load this - I believe I finally did it.
Great and Thanks to ole perfessor Dragonette. I'm just getting the hang of this and I believe we are off and running. Okay ? Just a thought here and I stand to be corrected. I thought this was the US Open. Further research has unearthed the fact that during this year, O"Meara won the British Open, the Masters and  came in third in the US Open. He did have an incredible year though and this seems like a fitting shot - US Open or not,  I just thought, with the topographical format - there's noway this is the British Open.  However, the British do have a tendency to call their tournament - The Open. Hmmmm . . .
