    1. Thank you, Diana! It was always a thrill to watch the semi-pros come out on big-wind days. Have you ever visited the Hood River area in the summer? The winds there bring a lot of windsport enthusiasts.

    1. Thank you, Linda! Thanks for noticing the dogs. I cropped the image of Brodie very close and it still was very sharp. I think that’s when I realized the power of the Lumix’ travel lens with 600 zoom.

  15. Your quote says it all and, while they’re all wonderful, the windsurfer is a capture to be smug about.
