During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.
There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.
As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!

Have a glorious Sunday.
I just heard they're stopping public transportation in New York...
Hopefully Irene calms down asap.
Your sky shots are beautiful and yes, I can see that bird! :)
these are some truly splendid photos Kathy. oh my. they are just spectacular. I hope those fires get under control very soon. it's so dry here but luckily we aren't all that forested or they would be burning! happy day to you.
Those fires can be so devastating. I hope whatever occurred there was caught in time to prevent too much damage and loss. You got some lovely photos from it, though.
Yesterday my husband and I drove up a hill in our neighborhood and both of us gasped. The way the sun shone through the clouds and trees created an effect of multiple spotlights beaming down. It was so beautiful, and neither of us had a camera!
Terrific captures.
Let's just call the bird a bald eagle--and we'll all feel better! :-)
SHADOW DITTY
Shadows of onyx, shadows of grey,
Shadows to chase my doldrums away;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night,
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!

This has been the hardest summer for most. I live in the DROUGHT area..West Texas..we've had one, one inch rain since last November. :(
Nice photos.
First off, thank you so much for stopping by and checking on me. I am doing much better and as for Irene, she improved our weather by pulling all the moisture out of our state. No humidity. I sure do feel for those along the coast though.
As for you getting off easy,no way. Fires are dreadful. I do hope they are under control soon.
Your pictures are wonderful.
Really pretty shots, Kathy. It pays to "run outside" at sunset just to see what it looks like. I'm always a little late--it's gorgeous but by the time I get my camera, it's gone. Fleeting beauty!! Have a good week. Mickie :)
This is very stunning!! Looks like the sky tries to impress you ^_^ Happy Monday!
Nice scenes and your photos, too.
Regards!
Hi Everybody,
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit and for your great comments.
If I haven't been to see you yet, I am on my way! I hope that you drought people get some rain, the good kind today, asap.
MMT - as always, you crack me up. Let's just do that.
Patti, the fires are very bad now. They had 3 highways closed down yesterday ... main ones, at one point or another.
Have a wonderful week,
Kathy M.
