Day 120 - April 30, 2010

Clouds are so intriguing to me - and I love when the clouds make cool patterns like this. It's like cloud corduroy! We were at Ang's tennis match today and the weather was beautiful. It was warm, but not too warm, a slight breeze, and these awesome corduroy clouds. Her match wasn't until much later in the afternoon, when the sky was a bit overcast and the sun had set a bit more, but it was still nice to be outside enjoying the weather. It must be what my parents felt like coming to my soccer games all those years ago in the crisp fall weather or the mild spring weather. As much as I love winter and all the winter activities, it's nice to have warm weather and long days :)

Until Tomorrow,

Day 104 - April 14, 2010

Today I finally got a chance to watch Ang play tennis and photograph it as well! We got there just in time to watch the second set. The school they were playing were very good, though it seems as though there was an overall questioning of this other team's sportsmanship. See, the way it works in high school tennis is that the players officiate their own games, while they are playing. And if the other team makes a call about being in or out of bounds, there isn't much you can do if you don't agree other than just ask them to verify that they think they are right. I don't know that this is the best way for a high school sport to work, but what can you do at this point. I just hope that people understand sportsmanship, and don't just call things in their favor because they want to win. Fair play!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 95 - April 5, 2010

Today, my full intent was to get a picture of my sister playing tennis on her high school team, but since she's just a freshman, she didn't play until after I had to leave. I brought all my camera gear and everything, convinced that she would see some court time (it was a scrimmage, after all) in the two hours I was there. Guess I was wrong - and when I left at 5 o'clock, she was still waiting her turn. So I snapped a few pictures of my loyal doggie-doo, Daisy, as we were waiting patiently for Ang to play. Alas, no tennis shots today, but perhaps Wednesday I'll be able to get a few!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 76 - March 17, 2010

Second beautiful day in a row! Today, we decided to play tennis after going to Starbucks (and Zumba) and enjoy the warmth and the sunshine. We went to the tennis courts near the dog park in Wethersfield, so Daisy could go socialize with the doggies. She wasn't really up for being social, so we went back and played some tennis (after I took a few pictures, of course!) Ang is going to be trying out for the Berlin High team on Monday, so it was good to let her get some practice in with her serves. Me, I'm not much of a tennis player, but it was fun nonetheless. Then we let Daisy on the court once the rest of the people left, and she spent her time chasing tennis balls around! Glad that we've got nice weather headed our way!

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
