Diving Board Silhouettes, a Lifeguard, and Clear the Pool for Lightning

Swim and Dive Team Pool Party Celebration Tuesday July 16th A hot, humid day so the water felt refreshing.

Lifeguard on Duty

The whistles blew and everyone got out of the pool due to lightning. Time to go home.

Dear Followers, Readers, Friends and Family,

Thanks for all the lovely comments and emails. I appreciate the good words and your cheering me on.

It was fun to share celebrating the four year mark of the blog.

I think my headline/title confused some people as I meant I was just starting the fifth year of blogging as the four year anniversary occurred.

An Egg, a Baseball and a Boy

Practice stop-motion shots. Anticipate the action.

Try to feel the timing.

Press the shutter at the right time, once, instead of fifty times. Hopeful.

Improve.

Sometimes the stop-motion looks frozen to me, perhaps too still. Wonder if it needs a little blur to show the movement.

As you read about my shooting where you are, these are examples of how you can be on vacation and work on your skills, simultaneously.

Have fun doing it, too!

Chef at the next table- House of Japan

Jack trying to beat the ball to first base.

And jumping off the board into the pool. Looks like a cut-and-paste figure.

Diving meet Monday afternoon. I cannot tell you which dive this is or what the degree of difficulty is.

I like the pool’s reflected light on his skin. His other grandmother is taping all of the diving competition for the Olympic Trials to inspire the 3 grandchildren who dive. They sure start them young!

It was a beautiful day and could even be called “chilly”. Michael received a ribbon for 3rd place in his age group.
