I’m overdue to write up a trip report for my three days in Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Since I don’t see getting to that real soon, I have posted a set of photos on flickr that have 50 photos in chronological order across all three days. The set covers my hike to the Salt Basin Dunes, an all-day hike into McKittrick Canyon for the fall colors, and a wonderful hike of solitude on the El Capitan Trail from Pine Spring Canyon to Guadalupe Canyon.

In the mean time, here is a set of four shots that I like from a recent swim meet. (I spend more weekends attending my kids’ swim meets than I do on hiking and photography.) This series shows each of the four strokes that make up an individual medley. I performed some creative processing in Adobe LightRoom to make them near-black-and-white.

The first stroke is the butterfly.

The second stroke is the back stroke.

The third stroke is the breast stroke.

And finally, the freestyle. This last stroke is currently Jack’s best (especially at long distances like the 1000 yard and the mile).

With three kids in competitive swimming, we go to many swim meets - which translates into a lot of swimming photos.

I finally got around to adding a photo gallery for all of the swim meets we go to. As I adjust the tags on the photos on flickr, they should start appearing on the COR Swimming gallery page.
