Track & Field
I made it out to my first track meet yesterday afternoon. Boy was it cold up in Tonasket. Did I mention it snowed this morning and we are going to be under a winter storm watch starting tomorrow night? Goodness... okay back to subject.
Going to the track meet was great. I had a blast watching the kids and they seemed like they enjoyed my "coaching." Of course I feel like I'm getting the hang of looking for the technical aspects of throwing and I may actually be helping them now. There is another track meet on Tuesday at Cascade, but may be a bit far for me to venture.
I did get about 100 pictures in before my camera battery started telling me it was too cold to be taking photos. My hands agreed. It was interesting to me, that although I don't think most of the photos turned out very good, they show the kids' techniques pretty well. They kind of helped me to see what they are doing right or wrong.

I have more baseball pictures from the last game, but since I've already entertained you with many, I just decided to post my favorite. There are some more new ones in my portfolio.
It's amazing to me how the "mistakes" can turn into such great shots when viewed on the computer. The focus on the ball is phenomenal. I do wish I could have gotten the players at 2nd base, but it still seems to balance out.

Speed Scrapping
I knew the laptop would be a bit better then my desktop, but I never expected so much speed! Although I probably took the longest on a page it went the quickest. Confused? Between watching a silly movie on the Sci-Fi channel and the speed transformations took affect on Photoshop, I've had a great time creating my first scrapbook page on my laptop. I haven't transferred my scrapbook folder to the computer yet, so I just decided to download a new kit for the page. I like it a lot and being able to sit here and veg from the page is actually kind of nice. Hopefully this means there will be more to come soon.

Beach Dogs
The water is so low at Lake Chelan, we actually had a beach to play with the dogs on. I snapped a photo of Buddy, Shawn's parents' Great Pyrenees puppy. I did say puppy, he is only 8 months old and weighs a 100lbs. He's going to be one big doggy.

Our friends' Golden, Amber, posing for a nice head shot. She has a few more years of experience and was actually willing to hold still for a photo, unlike the other two puppies.

I've never seen so many marmots running around Lake Chelan. While the others in our party searched for a geocache, I ran around with the camera chasing this little marmot.

Chelan Snow
Snow in Chelan! This is supposed to be our summer cabin. Who would have guessed that when we arrived to open the cabin for the season we'd have 3" of snow everywhere and we would have snow flurries for the first three days we were there. I guess there is a first for everything. Shawn's folks made it over, but our friends weren't too sure of the pass so they chose not to come.

A New Era
My newest post is being typed on my newest computer. Yes, I finally got my laptop! I'm very excited to be exploring my first laptop. I bought one for Shawn a few years ago, but it was very basic and I always swore by desktops so I could play my games. Well, I've broken down and bought a very nice 17" HP laptop. I would say this one is a big step up from my desktop. My photography can now travel around with me and I have a feeling I'll be able to play a few games on this beast.
Spring has sprung... sort of. I sit here, looking out the window at the snow that has been falling all day long. It hasn't stuck at all, but as soon as the temperature drops it will start. We are supposed to be opening the cabin at Lake Chelan tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to staying a few days at an uninsulated cabin. At least we'll be surrounded by family. We'll be meeting Shawn's folks and our friends tomorrow morning, if they can make it over the pass, to do some renovation work before the cabin starts getting used regularly. I have to say, I'm not planning on taking my swimsuit or my sun tanning lotion.
Along with spring has come the sports. Yesterday, after track practice, I headed over to the ball field for a home baseball game against Liberty Bell. Although it was a forfeit from the start the two teams played anyway in some brutally cold wind and even some snowflakes. I really didn't want to take my hands out of my pocket to take photos, but I did get a few. I will post them in a new entry as I'm going to set up my flickr account to post photos easier, so please hang in there with me.
