I apologize that this has taken a bit longer than usual to load. I left the photo in its large format because I hope you will click on it to see the amusing detail in the center. This was our golfing friend Bob’s least favorite shot of the week. It was just by chance I caught it when I did. It is a spot where I’ve lost many a ball myself, the devilishly placed water hazard that guards the green on the par-4 #13 hole at Painted Mountain in Mesa, Arizona.

Great photo- especially with the gorgeous sunset across the tops of the trees. Hopefully the days and the light will be getting longer. Love D
We’ve had some amazing sunsets this year, Diana, just beautiful. I love seeing the tops of the palm trees silhouetted against the scarlets and golds of twilight here. Days already are longer here – we notice it playing golf. xxx
Perfect timing for a beautiful shot!
Thank you Diane.
Fortuitous! Well, not for Bob, but it was thoughtful of him to drown a ball for the sake of your always excellent photojournalism. Lovely forms, lovely hues – but why are you all playing golf in the dark? At least Bob could hear where his ball went…
It actually was getting pretty dark, though the picture is darker than it was – perhaps I could lighten it up a bit. We play golf in the dark because we start only at 2 p.m. (because we’re cheapskates) and we want to get in as much as we can. It was a particularly slow day on Friday. Sigh.
One amazing picture!!!
Thanks!
