Last night the Patriots were spooked by the Galloping Ghosts from Abington. Playing without Mikal Bridges due to a medical issue the boys from Great Valley fought hard and pressed the visitors through the game. Final Score 53-47.
Happy Friday
Not much to say today, busy at work. Enjoy the picture from Puerto Rico. Have a great weekend.

March 2013 Calendar
Welcome to March. Spring is right around the corner, and not a moment too soon. The Winter months have taken a toll on my landscape photography. It’s hard to summon the fortitude not only to get up really early, but to endure the sub freezing temperatures. I am looking forward to making beautiful pictures again. For your calendar this month I thought a burst of Spring color might be a welcome peek at things to come.

Great Valley vs Lower Merion at Temple University
Great Valley yielded to the superior play of Lower Merion last night at the Liacouras Center last night in Temple University. The Patriots fought hard to keep their dreams alive but in the end the Aces were just too much. Final score 61-35.
Changes in Elevation
One of the reasons I chose Puerto Rico for our Winter holiday was because the island has varying elevations. Photographs across flat landscapes sometimes lack excitement, so I thought I would stack the deck in my favor. In addition to this picture taking advantage, the fact that our resort was part of a meticulously maintained golf course guaranteed spacious and picturesque foregrounds. Which brings me to a sad point that I hesitate to mention, while our resort was glorious, traveling outside of it was not. The abrupt change between paradise and the dilapidated surrounding community made me start to wonder if the charm and enchantment of the island’s beauty was being taken for granted. I guess if I woke up in a beautiful environment everyday it would be easy to feel that it would last forever, but driving down main highways and seeing abandoned cars and houses suffering serious neglect, and even vacant car dealerships that looked like the owners just walked away five years ago, made me melancholy. My relaxing joy had a kink in its armor now.
