Scottsdale Artfest

This weekend the 22nd annual Artfest of Scottsdale was held at Civic Center Plaza in historical Old Town. There were 180 artists selling paintings, sculptures, jewelry, metal art, ceramics and glass art. A few vendors also sold packaged gourmet goods.

The weather was gorgeous and perfect for a stroll through this beautiful area among fountains and flowers.

Neil Young

A friend of mine posted this video on Facebook. I have always been a huge fan of Neil Young. He is a Canadian singer-songwriter and musician. He was born in Toronto and began his career there before moving to California. He co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield and then later joined Crosby, Stills and Nash.
My friend said it perfectly....."Beautifully brings me back to a time of youth, love and wonder"

CopperWynd Women's Pro Challenge

CopperWynd Resort and Club is hosting the Women's Pro Challenge tennis tournament. This USTA Pro Circuit event is the largest professional tennis tournament in Arizona. The field includes 32 singles players and 16 doubles teams from up to 20 countries.
I attended this event this morning in Fountain Hills. It was very enjoyable seeing these young women compete. The weather was quite cool and lunch at Flourish, CopperWynd resort's signature restaurant was perfect. The view is magnificent and the soup was delicious and warmed us up!
