Y’all Come Again Ya Hear? On Topaz Tuesday

While us girls were rockin’ in Ocean City last weekend, my boys were in Martinsville at a NASCAR race.

They asked me if I wanted to go and though I can think of much better ways to spend a weekend than with a bunch of guys watching cars go around a track so I politely declined and they put no more effort into convincing me. They hopped in the car and didn’t look back.

I don’t have good memories of NASCAR races anyway. I went to a few while we lived in Phoenix and it was – well – torture. And the last time the boys were at a NASCAR race, I almost died here at home. I know I have a penchant for hyperbole, but I’m deadly serious about that one.

I did watch the end of the race on television yesterday knowing that my boys were there and having the time of their lives. The husband texted me, “100 laps to go, good times!”

I wrote back, “I hope kyle b doesn’t beat jeff g!” Jeff Gordon is my favorite race car driver even though I don’t normally watch racing, I can pick his car out from a crowd any day.

The end was actually really exciting. I was yelling for Jeff from my kitchen.

The boy kept sending me photos and the quality of the photos from his phone was amazing. The files, of course, were smaller. I went to look at the properties but there weren’t any settings to show you. I was impressed with the wide angle shots. I converted this to HDR (still having fun with that Topaz Adjust) because it’s Tuesday!

I thought this subject matter was perfect for this type editing. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.

Here’s another wide angle. His phone is pretty impressive. There must have been a crash. It’s why all those guys are there isn’t it? I’m kidding so please don’t write me about that comment.

Guess where I’m going next for spring break? First person who guess right (and who I haven’t already told) will get a beautiful surprise.

p.s. I stole(d) the title from my friend Bob…please check out his site and play along with him on Topaz Tuesday! Hi Bob.
