DIII Thriller In Gettysburg

What a great day shooting the DIII No.1 Gettysburg vs. No. 3 Salisbury games at Gettysburg College; Great weather, small college rival atmosphere and overtime game of previously unbeaten teams.

 

Stanford vs University Maryland Women

Women's Lacrosse is one of my favorite sports to shoot, you get to see some great expressions and emotions without the facemask and helmet from the men’s game.  Not a big fan of shooting under the lights, but I tried my best on Thursday evening in College Park.   Not much of game with the #2-ranked Maryland blowing past No. 8 Stanford,  20-8.

Now a Break from Lacrosse...

Vacation photos from Italy…. We picked up my daughter in Rome and traveled to Montepulciano.   Stayed a few days in the Tuscany region for some great food and wine and adventuring to the locals towns including; Montalcino, Pienza, and San Gigimano.  Onto to Vernazza and the Cinque Terre region for a few days and then a train back to Rome to drop off Cara at Loyola of Rome for the last of her Italy studies.
