Out of Bounds

Just a quick post from Sundays AMGEN!

POPPIES & AMGEN

Took a quick pic of a few of our poppies this morning, charged the battery on the camera & then off to the races (AMGEN)... About two minutes of excitement & then it was over from my vantage point. This leg of the race started in Nevada City & 12 to 15 minutes later the racers were flying by me here in Grass Valley. They will finish this leg (the first of 8 legs in the AMGEN) today in Sacramento. I used my 75 to 300mm Tamron lens (hand held) today and I don't think I'll do that again. I believe I would have better photos if I'd used my 28 to 135mm Canon lens.. hindsight---so next time.

Grass Valley Car Show

Just a few of the 352 entries...

Sierra Solo

Took of Thursday for the high country while Melba stayed home to visit thrift shops & run errands. (her choice) It was a beautiful day that brought back many memories of our trips there when the kids were young. I stood in the same spot as 37 years before to take a photo of the North Fork of the Yuba river. "Wow" Everything looks the same & it's hard to believe so many years have passed...

Grass Valley Air Show (July 11, 2009)

Our son Aaron, his Father-in-Law, & I attended the Grass Valley Air show while the girls went shopping for maternity clothes for Aaron's wife Tammy...

Nevada City Classic

Beautiful Father's day here today in Grass Valley/Nevada City. It was a good day for the races with some of the top names in bicycle racing competing. Got a photo of a mix up during the masters competition (that had to hurt) as well as a few photos of Lance Armstrong during the Pro competition...
