HardingPark

Since the pile of first day covers have mostly been entered now, tonight I started back on the next big blog project – migrating my photo library from Gallery2 to standard WordPress galleries. I plan to be a little more selective about what gets published this time, so not everything will move.

Golf was on my mind, so I started in on that section first. Harding Park (above), the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen and the 2009 Gopher Invitational at Spring Hill were all added.

Lots more to come…

This will be a fun show
