Its Honda Classic Week!

Once again, the eyes of the golf world are on our neighborhood in Palm Beach Gardens, with PGA National's Champ Course hosting the Annual Honda Classic.

We have been back and forth to the "Champ" since Monday.....We especially like the practice rounds because one can chat with the best players in the world and take photographs.

This year, eight players out of the Tour's top ten tee'd off at PGANational.

I will post a dozen or so photos for your enjoyment.

Are you ready for some baseball?

October and the World Series seems like it was ages ago...for NY Mets fans the season was over long before October and baseball has been out of sight and out of mind for many of us.

But,  as sure as the crocus will come up and the birds will chirp, the smell of cowhide and the crack of the bat will soon be realities. It has already started in Florida.

Here's proof, as evidenced by these photos from Port St. Lucy.

Manager Terry Collins...

Collins and pitcher Matt Harvey ponder Harvey's rehab situation...

Ruben Tejada demo's how he landed the Big one during off season.

Ike Davis is welcomed by  the skipper!

Actions are better than words!!!  you fill in the words.

Something new to do !

If you like colorful events, I can recommend The Seminole Tribal Fair at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fl.

Looking for something colorful to photograph, I wasn't disappointed.....Native Americans from many tribes were present...   All were in their tribal costumes and performing various dances. They also availed themselves to photographers and invited you to a dance, if you liked....

Here are some of today's photos.....   I think you will agree it was colorful...

Things have come a long way since the Lone Ranger and Tonto....    jpk 2/9/14
