Puppies and Babies

This past week, we had the opportunity to photograph babies...both human and canine.
Baby Caleb, 7 weeks old, 6 pounds.
Baby Dane, 4 weeks old, 8 pounds.
We'll see how they progress.
They are both adorable!

The Cowboy Classic - Day 1

Gregg Button blasts from desert on the 7th hole during the 2nd round of the Cowboy Classic at Talking Stick Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. Gregg had a great day shooting 69-70 (1 under). We are in 2nd place trailing Grand Canyon by 4 strokes with a little more than 18 holes to play. Austin has a 15 foot putt on his last hole for a 5 under 65 (we couldn't finish as it was too dark). Lets see if the Aggies can defend their title!!

Aggies in the Sun!

The Aggies are in sunny Arizona this week for the Cowboy Classic hosted by the University of Wyoming. We are the defending champions at this tournament, played at Talking Stick GC. The real fun starts tomorrow with a 24 team field teeing it up for a 36 hole marathon day. See you tomorrow!

Barbara's Palm Springs vacation

Here is how i spent my vacation this past week. I had a stomach flu and it lasted most of the week.
Nevertheless, the desert was beautiful, with nice breezes every day and highs of about 84 degrees.
I got to play one round of golf and get together with 15 old schoolmates from grammar school before the flu attacked. Lynda, my friend who shared my condo, also got sick. Our other two friends, Sharon and Cynthia, who roomed together next door stayed healthy. It is nice to be home and I'm ready to get back to work now.

Pacific Dunes #11 - Our Last Hole

Thursday was a perfect day for golf in Oregon. I didn't use my umbrella once, and actually gave my jacket to John Grothe as a gift for letting us play this magnificent course (and he really wanted a UC Davis windbreaker!) Also, I birdied this hole... (and so did Williams)

A wild day at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

The 2008 Oregon Retreat at Bandon Dunes golf resort. Between the 1st green and the 2nd tee, the hail started pelting us. It didn't let up until the middle of the 3rd hole, by which time the course was covered in hail. We talked about just going in on the 3rd tee, but decided to wait just a little longer under a tiny tree. Luckily, it stopped hailing and we finished our round.. but there was more weather to come! This is the 3rd green at Bandon Dunes.

We started out an hour late because of fog, and then it didn't get much better. The next two tournaments are going to be very important for the Aggies.
