While wildfires burn
here in California
rain forced ‘play’ indoors
at the Pilot Pen
Tennis Tournament … I snapped
these TV photos
then created my
Blue Mosaic for Monday
looking forward to
better weather for
US Open in New York
starting tomorrow.

Addendum on 8-31-09 – Things seem to have fixed themselves comment wise and for that I’m grateful. Methinks I’ll leave this here a little while longer for those who have trouble seeing the COMMENTS link at the TOP of the page, rather than at the end of the post … just because.
Addendum on 9-2-09 – Guess I’ll ‘unstick’ this post and see what happens. I hate to remove it since 8 folks have commented … so hopefully it will fall into line with my other posts and remain as ‘information’ for anyone who happens by ;–)
Hugs & blessings,
Once again I share
a photo from my sister …
Looks like fun to me ;–)
