Etched in a rock at Carmel Beach for Valentines Day - 2011

Hearts...Are a reminder of Valentines Day- Along the majestic shoreline of the annual AT&T Pro AM golf tournament at Pebble Beach are cliffs made of hard sandstone along the Carmel Beach shore. I found this little heart and a few more etched in the sand while strolling down the beach. Just in time for the big day tomorrow.

Gael Monfils - SAP Open Feb 2011

Gael Monfils (FRA), ranked #12 in the world, is an amazing professional tennis player and athlete. The below images are an example of the level of energy and effort you might expect to see when watching him perform as captured in this and other fast action photographs at the SAP Open on Thursday night in his singles match vs Robert Kendrick (USA). Gael when on to win the high energy match. I hope that I have more chances to see Gael perform again.

Unfortunately, Monfils withdrew from the SAP tournament after advancing to the quarter-finals after injuring his left wrist and being unable to play. Milos Raonic (CAN) went on to win the the SAP Tennis Open by defeating the defending champion Fernando Verdasco in the final.
