I consider Betty a treasured friend with many talents, among them the ability to capture the right scene, at the right angle, at the right time of day. Her work is so professional, that it is hard to believe she just took up photography several years ago after retiring to The Villages. I recently was at a function where I sat next to an individual who has been writing books since his retirement, and he remarked at how much talent many of The Villagers have.  And he is so right, and Betty is just one example of that.  If you want to really treat yourself, stop in at the Photo Showcase Saturday, look for my friend Betty, and I promise you will leave with a smile on your face.  You will be so impressed by all the photo displays, which you can look at, or you can purchase.  You can even buy all occasion cards, that are absolutely beautiful. What’s as much fun as seeing all the photographers’ works, is actually just talking with them.  They will tell you specific stories surrounding the shots they took, and how they got them.  If you have gone on cruises, many of the photos displayed are familiar cruise stops.  You just may catch yourself in one of them.   On your way out, don’t forget to vote for your Best Photo and see if your favorite wins. Also, you can buy a chance to win a Canon Powershot SX160 digital point-and-shoot camera.  SX160 digital sounds a bit above my head, however point-and-shoot seems like something even I could do.

Note: The above photo is the Ninth hole on the Kilimanjaro golf course in The Villages. I am in the process of using it for my header, but it still needs some adjustment.  Betty has many beautiful shots of The Villages, and also other areas. Stop and see her.
