Hello Pickleball Fans!
I have recently learned that the USAPA National Pickleball tournament will be available for free viewing via live stream. **Check the disclaimer at the bottom of the post.
Here is the website to register and watch:
https://enetlive.com/usapa/
For more details, check the above website.
Have fun watching!
**Disclaimer: I am passing this along as a point of information. I have not used this service, I do not recommend this service and I am not associated with this service whatsoever. My thinking is that if it is supported by the USAPA, then it would be fine, but the above caveats apply!

One of the photographers I enjoy following is Karen Hutton because she is different. I have never met her, but I feel that I know her and if you check out her blog, I think you will quickly get an understanding of who she is. Be careful though, she is like a human onion. There are layers upon layers, all interesting, but somewhat hidden until purposely exposed. Oh, did I mention to add a bit of quirkiness?!

I like to think of Karen Hutton as a photographer-philosopher because almost every post contains both elements. She recently spoke at Photo Plus Expo 2015 in New York City as a Fuji-X Photographer; a designation of honor given by Fuji.
In her most recent post, A Fuji-full Photo Plus Expo 2015!, she issues the following quote:
“…everyone here is seeking that magic bullet. Wants it. Desires that something ‘more’. But do they know what it is? How will they know when they’ve found it? And what will they do once they have it?”
This quote resonated with me because I know so many people who are looking for a “magic bullet.”
As part of her post, Karen shares two picture quotes that she made using her own images. As JBRish readers know, I really like quotes as evidenced by my daily posting of STATUS QUOtes.
Here are the picture quotes she created with her beautiful images. I like the quotes, I like the pictures. I hope you enjoy them as well.
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” – Rumi
“Beauty awakens the soul to act.” – Dante Alighieri

Welcome readers of JBRish. We are trying something different and I hope you like it. I will ask a question below.

A player from team A hits a ball with spin on it and it goes over the net, bounces on team B’s side and then returns to team A’s side of the court without any player from team B contacting it.
