We enjoyed a wonderful month in Casa Grande, at the Palm Creek RV and Golf Resort. This may be the nicest place we have stayed at; and the most expensive.

I have discovered and fallen in love with lawn bowling. But there is no lawn bowling where we are headed, at the Voyager in Tucson. However, they do have a wonderful, organized bocce ball program with artificial grass on four courts.

But, to digress. While I am not busy participating in fun activates, I enjoy editing travel photos and creating digital works of art. I upload many of my photos and digital paintings to Flickr.

While in Casa Grande, I received an email from the outfit that creates and publishes the annual Washington State Visitors Guide. They want to use a photo I made of a boat at La Push WA, going out to sea, and published on Flickr. You can see a preview of it at the following link:

Paddy’s La Push Boat Photo

So, we entered into a contract for use of my photo in the 2011 Washington Visitors Guide. How sweet is that? You know me; I proposed and negotiated changes to their standard usage agreement. They are reasonable folk, and accommodated my needs. Picture me excited. I’m an old man, and it doesn’t take too much to excite me.

Congrats!
Hey, Mr. Snapshot! Congratulations on having your photo in the WA State Visitors Guide! That is so cool! Heck, maybe I will want to visit Washington now that I know a photographer. Enjoy the warmth of AZ. Not too warm here yet. Some sunny and mild days sandwiched between the rainy ones. Overall, not a bad winter...one snow, two cold spells and one wind storm. I'm lookin' forward to spring. Be well, friends.

Good to hear from the two of you. Beautiful pictures. Glad everything is going well and you are enjoying your winter in Ariz. This past week has been beautiful here in G.J. For about 3 weeks we never got above freezing. This week we have been in the high 40's with clear blue skies and sunshine. No wind. I am doing good after my hip surgery and driving again. That will end on Wed. when I have surgery on my right hand for carpal tunnel. This will be as an out patient. Soon I will be good as new again. Love you, Livvie

Photo!
omygosh....that picture of the fishing boat at La Push is WONDERFUL. No WONDER they want to use it. It also made me slightly homesick for the peninsula....Congratulations!

A real pleasure, Pat, to learn that the excellent picture has been purchased----for a ton, I hope because I plan to tap into the preceeds during the Pick Em season. Sure have enjoyed the updates from you and Nancy and look forward to more. Have fun!! Tom D
