Make Time for Small Reflections

It's hard to believe none of the American men made it to the Quarter Finals ... first time EVER in the history of the tournament! Of course it's equally hard to believe NONE of the Russian women made it to the Quarters either. Strange turn of events.

I confess ... I'm a huge tennis fan
grateful for television coverage my my DVR!
How about the 17 year old Melanie Oudin making it into the Quarter Finals ... defeating Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova, and Nadia Petrovia to get there? She's quite something but since she's not wearing RED to play, I've shared Kim Clijsters (who's coming back from retirement to get married and have a baby 18 months ago ... managed to 'take out' Venus Williams in the round of 16 yesterday) and Roger Federer who ARE wearing red. Leyton Hewitt's there too with a touch of red on his racket ... just because.grateful for television coverage my my DVR!

Hey There, I like tennis also---and have watched it off and on all of my life. I'm old enough to remember Chris Everett and Jimmy Conners.
I'm impressed with that young gal, Melanie Oudin.. Wow!!!!
Have a great day tomorrow.
Hugs,
Betsy
I agree to Betsy, that is an impressive achievement. Great Rubies, too! Have a wonderful week :)
You didn't actually go to the US Open, did you? My husband is a tennis fan; he keeps me informed of who is who and what is when.
Fun post!
Interesting take you have on these photos. My favorite is the posterizing effect you used.
Sorry, not a tennis fan.
Thanks for visiting me this morning.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
I like tennis too and I watch it once in a while...Happy RT! Mine is up too.
Great photo editing. And what a great ruby color!
If you'd like to stop by my blog I'm at Cake Crumbs.
I like it how they dress colorful now - not the boring white - although white does good job when sun is involved :)
I'm really not into Tennis, but there can't be that many of us out there. Everyone it seems is watching that terrific young gal, and I do hope she does well.
Love the bright colors.
Have a great day.

I'm glad you're cheering them on...that red is eye-catching.
Nice ruby mosaic! I love fiddling with the different styles too.
I was just about to say how I couldn't believe you were in NY and didn't tell me!! but then I read all the words LOL
I have to remember to do that
great effects
Great looking photo sets. Really nicely done.
Fun pictures! I heard about that Melanie girl on the news this morning (I don't pay much attention to sports) but I would love to see her play now. Have a great day!
☼¨`*•.♥Awesome shots!♥.•*¨`☼
Thanks for sharing!
Have a Lovely♥Day!

See ya!☺!
The red shirts are colorful at these most proper events. We see so much white on the courts it is almost blinding. So the subtle ruby players are a treat for the eyes...
When I have a time surplus, I love to watch a good tennis match on TV, preferably the Wimbledon Tournament.
I still enjoy the memories of Bjorn Borg playing in the good ol' days.
You have really made some rare and good photo art work in your three mosaics.
The one in the middle(poster edges)ingeniously reveals the body and muscle work of a tennis player.
No sport for delicate misses.

More great tennis shots and they look as if you were there - wouldn't that be terrific!
It's been an interesting Open!
I'm watching the US Open also. It's been very exciting with all of the upsets. Especially Melanie Oudin. Very nice collage. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you enjoyed my Red Hat Entry for RT.
Hugs to you also!
I admit I don't really follow tennis but it certainly makes for great sports photography.
Great photo collages! I volunteer with another hard core pro tennis fan and its always fun to hear about her viewing weekend.
love the red tops..much nicer than icky pastels!
Hi S.T, this was a neat subject for RT. Happy RT.
I think it was Kim who took out all of the Russian women. I don't follow close enough to know about the men and their sad tales.
..
Those are great! You are so creative!
Thanks for sharing these.
I know you're having fun--enjoy!!
Always love these amazing collages of yours. And Miss Kitty below here, and Aloha and Molly. Always a pleasure to visit and see what you're sharing with us out here. You've got a great blog. Thank you for continually putting that smile on my face :)
Great mosaics. I did not watch this year. Funny seeing so much color when back in the day it was 'tennis whites'
Action-packed and colorful shots. I like the mosaic effect too.
I love your tennis collages. I am a huge tennis fan and play at least 3 times a week. I was in a tournament this weekend but there was a lot rain for us as well as at the US Open.
And thanks for commenting on my mosaic!
What a nice Ruby Red ! Kim's outfit, lol ! The whole country is so proud of her ! I rarely watch Tennis but of course this time I had to watch ! I think she is coming back today to Belgium that will be a big feast at the airport in Brussels ! She is such a nice and sympathic girl ! The success didn't change her character at all and she still lives in her little flemish hometown where she was born !
